Oh, wow, did you take a peak at my dayplanner today? Thanks so much. This is exactly what I needed.
what a great idea! i actually opted out of the big extended family trip for thanksgiving so we could do our traditional thing at home. it should be nice and quiet (although i still have a to-do list of course).
lately i've been trying to get in the tub after i put my kids to bed. the house is cool at that point because the temperature drops outside, after dark, and it takes time for the house to catch up. it's so nice to get in a hot bath, to end the busy part of my day before i spend a quiet hour or two with my husband or by myself. i can't do it every night, but even a couple nights a week makes me less stressed in general.
i also have to say i *love* this photo! the bedding, the alarm clock, the lamp, really everything is super cute.
great post Abby!
I think this is the week to do unto others, and let self-pampering wait. Love the photo, but not the sentiment.
