Me Time Monday!!

Went and saw the movie Life As We Know It.  It was soo cute, really a fun movie, it had it all, comedy, romance, and a little drama.  Yes I cried just a little.  It was such a fun night out.  Not only was it great in the theater, but Life As We Know It will be one of those movies that I will need to buy.  Of course before the movie we did the usual Olive Garden dinner.  And that was fabulous as usual.

I always seem to come back from "Me-time" with a little better attitude and appreciation for the great family that I have.  It is so crucial that we find the time to spend on ourselves, and not feel guilty for it.  Remember to fill up your pitcher so you can fill the cups of those that you love. 

Me Time Monday

Last night we had a blast playing games with my family.  I am a huge lover of games, always have been, probably always will be.  I just think it is probably one of the funnest ways to enjoy each others company and interact.  We played one of the funnest  games I have played in a long time last night called Word on the Street.  It is a riot.  The letters are all lined up down the center of the board and you have two teams you pick  a card such as "A Beach"  then you have to come up with a name of a beach and each letter you use gets pulled one space per use toward you,  There are two spaces on each side of the center of the board, so if we had drawn the card "a beach" we could use myrtle as our beach, and then we would pull the letters m-y-r-t-l all one space towards us.  There are no vowels, however you can still use vowels in your word you just don't get credit for them.  The team that gets 8 letters off the board first wins.  It was so much fun that we played it 3 times!!  They also have word on the street junior, this would be a perfect game to help teach your children how to spell.  This was time for me, and it was fantastic!  Not to mention the great company and food that came with this fun night.

Me Time Monday!!

Last night I went out on the town with a fun friend Terra, we went to dinner at the Olive Garden, which in-case you were looking for a fabulous no fail gift for someone on your list for Christmas, a gift card to olive garden would would be great!!!

Then we proceeded to the cheap movie where we watched the movie You Again with Kristen Bell, Kristin Chenoweth, Odette Yustman, Sigourney Weaver, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Betty White.  Such a cute show.  I won't give any spoilers, but it is a great comedy about how crazy us women can be especially when we are a little jealous or stuck in the past.  Great chick flick!

It is so refreshing for me to get a night out on the town and have the ability to just be me.  I usually walk away feeling refreshed and ready to face my duties and be a better Mom and Wife.  I am so grateful that I have a husband that understands this and will watch the kiddos so I can have some ME TIME :) 

What did you do for you this week?

Me Time Monday!!

Each day of the week I will be featuring something new and fun, this is to motivate me to write and get my blog really going.  So every Monday will be me time monday.  I think it is sooo very important to find time for yourself in life, if you don't what is the fun.  So each week I am going to tell you about what I did that week to take time just for me, and would love it if you would share with me what you are all doing for you.

So last week, for me, I indulged in a little craft project, don't worry I will be sharing this with you soon, but I didn't get to finish it.  I will finish it this week, and be sure to post pictures.

Another thing I did just for me was to take my hubby out for dinner (and attempted movie) but we ended up renting a redbox and snuggling on the couch instead (which in my opinion is much better). 

I also took some time to work on my book, which is really a me-time project as well.

It was a fantastic week and I am looking forward to this one.  I am hosting a baby shower at my house, and can't wait.  I will tell you all about it and hopefully post pictures next week.

Have a fabulous week, and don't forget to find your own "me-time" and come back and share it with me, I can always use another great way to spend my me-time.
