A little "ME" time

I think its important to take time for myself every now and again. Actually its important for all moms, wives, women in general!

Taylor and Leighton are my WORLD. Literally everything i do, i do for them. I clean the house for them, do laundry for them, make food for every meal for them, grocery shop for them, everything. I in me time if theres a space for it! like painting my finer nails, plucking my eye brown, taking a bath, heck sometimes just finding time to take a shower is a chore! haha!

So me and some of my favorite people have decided to have a monthly "girls day"..and I'm so excited about it! of course not everyone will be able to make it every month, but at least were holding each other to it! I think its easy to feel guilty about taking time for yourself, especially for moms. Leighton is my responsibility, but I know my husband doesn't mind one afternoon a month of some daddy daughter time. EXCEPT for the diaper changes. Y'all want to hear something crazy, i know I'm going to get it from some of you guys, but up until 2 weeks ago, Taylor has never changed a diaper. n.e.v.e.r. i know i know..but whatever haha!

2 weeks ago me, my sister Erin, and sweet friend Sarah had the first "girls day" we went shopping, got pedicures, and went to lunch. and it was a BLAST! i was actually more exhausted after that than a whole day with my kid...kinda funny.

Well on May 27th were having the second girls day! only this time were lumping it in with the Style Swap. About 2 years ago Erin and I planned the first style swap. Basically you get all your friends together, and everyone brings all their clothes, shoes, accessories that they just aren't loving, we set it all up like a little store, everyone draws a number, and you take turns shopping the "store" its SO much fun! At the end of the night whatever isn't taken is donated! Great way to get some new things without spending a dime, and giving to a good cause all at the same time! Im pretty excited! We haven't had one since BEFORE i got pregnant so there should be lots of stuff to choose from!

If you will be in Abilene and want to come let me know! We'd love to have ya! :)
