I took the initiative to contact a friends that does a lot of graphic design. He helped me out to get a really funny and unique invitation for my husband's graduation together.
I showed him the finished product last night, and he really liked it. So it was a nice boost to do something unexpected for him.
Thursday night I plan to take a nice long bath after the kids go to bed so that I can get some me time.
This week we are eating healthy. I'll say from now on but we have an engagement party and easter brunch this weekend so we'll see. But I've made us super healthy lunches and snacks and light dinners so far this week. Thurs/fri also get iffy
BM's been going to the gym and maybe if I get a decent night's sleep I'll get on that bike thats still sitting in the basement.
@charlotte, that sounds Ah-mazing. Where are you going to go?
I've never been to the west coast, so we are thinking about San Fran. I found some cheap flights.
L is a few months older than your LO and I've never spent a night away from her either but really should. Your post makes me think that should be my TiT one week:)

I need to go to bed earlier. I am terrible at getting enough sleep, and I need to make a conscious effort to be in bed by 10. Lately It's been more like 10:45-11 by the time I get to bed and then I have to deal with at least one nighttime wakeup.
Maybe I'll start setting myself a bedtime alarm. I think my fitbit can remind me to go to bed, that would be good.
Today was a MOPS Wednesday so it's always a wellness thing to drop off L at their childcare then get to have hot coffee and a yummy breakfast with other adults! Today was extra special because we made stamp necklaces. I'm not crafty, and it was my first time at anything like this. I wanted our wedding date too but gave up after 3 tries. The key charm nicely hides the botched heart stamp between my and MH initials LOL. ETA MapleMomma, MOPS 4 lyfe!

So funny, stamped necklaces are on our craft schedule for May!

I'm gradually rebuilding my potted plant collection. Most of my plants died when I was living abroad, and when I initially got back I was so stressed out I didn't think I could keep anything alive.
I'm also letting myself splurge on cut flowers now and then. I'm planting more flowers than veg this year, so I can just bring flowers in from the garden.

I am doing some flowers this year too. Pretty things are nice.

I decided to become more active in my church to give myself more interaction with other people. First step is going back to helping in the nursery, I'll just be in there one week a month starting next month. Next I think I'm going to join the choir, which I've always wanted to do. In the meantime I'm also attending more of the services beyond just Sunday morning. This evening I went to the Maundy Thursday service, which was exciting given that I took all three children with me and they were giving out notebooks and crayons in leiu of nursery services. The girls did awesome, but O was a mess!
