Life has been rough and chaotic but I got a good night sleep and woke up feeling pretty good. Had some coffee and sat by the the open window, took in the fresh air and watch my son play.

Needed a calming mediation since my toddler is refusing his nap after an hour of trying. He would be asleep in my arms and then wake up the minute his head would touch his crib.

I am positive I’m going to do some sort of challenge that coincides with the back to school timeframe (thinking beginning the week before school starts - the idea being that it would give moms and / or teachers a chance to get themselves into the routine of practicing making time for themselves and getting up earlier, journaling or reflection time, ideas for meal prepping, having a plan, etc and feeling super empowered a week — maybe 2 AHEAD of the rush instead of being thrown right into it.) Start date would probably be August 17. I’d run it through mid September. I’d have daily prompts in classroom, extra tools in here, and hopefully this would liven this group back up! Would you be interested? - thinking $37 to unlock and get access to the prompts, tools, and group!

My husband booked me an 80 minute deep tissue massage today. (Because I have a hard time taking time for myself)It was amazing. My shoulders scared so much work so they are filled with knots and tension. I feel relaxed and better after the session. Though the massage therapist said I need another one to work more of the knots out.

It was an amazing week in Hawaii. The weather was great and seeing family was nice too. We spent a lot of time at the beach and the pool of the resort we were staying at. My little guy loved the beach and playing in the sand. The restaurants we went to had live music every day and night and he just loved that. The music at night helped us stretch his bed time and get him on island time which was lovely. Got home late last night so everyone is tired and off schedule. But that is okay. We will take it easy getting back on Ca time. I was able to get a morning yoga workout on the beach one morning. It was my first class outside of working out at home, but it was a nice experience. Hubby only got this small video of it and that’s okay. We were all just trying to be off our phones and fully present. Cheers to new and wonderful family memories.
