One of Those Weeks

Do you ever just have "one of those weeks?"

A considerable amount of time was spent up in my head this week as I continued to mull over such ever-popular questions as, "How? When? Where? and Why?" I have a fairly straight-forward "to-do" list running at the moment, but the Virgo in me is not pleased with how slowly it's being completed. Sometimes (i.e. lately), I get so completely frustrated knowing that I have many irons in the fire, projects I cannot wait to make public, yet at the moment I am faced with variables - necessary to see those projects to fruition - that are completely outside of my control. How do you respond to those moments? I must admit I've been kicking up dirt this week!

But, in the meanwhile ...

• Mr. Newman got a pair of these as an early birthday gift this week, and looks absolutely unreal when he sports them!
• LG was especially grateful for her new Hunter Boots this morning as it rained cats & dogs during the morning commute.
• These gems are my snack of the week - especially with a slather of this on top ... delicious!
• I'm hosting a breakfast tomorrow morning, and sure hope our guests enjoy this recipe which is one of several treats on the menu.
• Sunday, we're taking a road trip to check out sleep away camp for LG ... yep, the time has come!

Here's to a wonderful weekend!

Heart Thoughts for the Weekend

 

My lovelies, are you as excited as I am about the weekend?! Tomorrow is devoted to some exciting new features coming soon to Delightfully Dishy. Sunday is doubly special as it's Father's Day for the best dad ever, as well as our girl's First Communion. All of that with some sunshine in our merry Slope ... count me in!

I've been reading Louise Hay's Heart Thoughts (thanks to my incredible Aunt Jeannine), and I want to leave you with this affirmation to ponder over the next couple of days:

"Work on doing what is right for you and getting in touch with your own inner voice. Your inner wisdom knows the right answers for you."

Try and take at least 5-minutes this weekend to center yourself and remember how special, invaluable and amazing you are. The best lifestyle is that which is rooted in and around your personal truth, true self and your inner beauty. The rest is just gravy!

Here's to a wonderful weekend!

The Little Things

When I got home last night, I was presented with this note written by my LG during her "free write" time in class:

I asked her if I could frame it.

"Why, YES, Mommy!"

If we can't freeze a moment in time, we certainly can frame it, right?!

Wishing you a beautiful weekend. Are you doing anything fun?

I'll be starting my weekend off with my ritual Big Gulp Diet Pepsi ... clearly.

Outta the mouths of babes.
