Now is Now

This week was spring break and I was at home with my girls! I'm so glad that I had a little time off work. This week was just what I needed - a time to recharge, relax and play catch up on a few things.

Here are some of the happy moments from my week:

• Having breakfast with the girls. I start work very early in the morning so it is only on days off that I have breakfast with my sweeties
• Watching The Sound of Music with the girls. I love this movie and I love that watching it together has become a spring break tradition
• Cooking salmon for dinner - certainly not an economical meal, but gosh it was delicious
• Finishing my Cozy Stripe Blanket! Yes, you heard me right. Wednesday night, around midnight, was super exciting as I darned in the last end and laid out my gorgeous blanket on the living room floor.
• Drinking many cups of green tea
• Watching in wonder as the paper toy collection in my house grew even more
• Sewing colorful bags with the girls 
• Rock climbing as a family 
• Baking a lemon poppy seed loaf
• Sleeping later than 6am 
• Making progress on my granny square project 
• Finishing the mending and sewing the Girl Guide badges onto the sash - it felt really good to stroke these tasks from the list
• A kitchen table strewn with craft supplies left there by two crafty girls
• A little summer planning 
• Spending a day with my Mom
• Feeling at ease, at peace, as I moved through my days
• Celebrating my grandparents' birthdays
• Doing some much needed clothes shopping 
• Noticing a little more green in the garden
• Staying up late to work on projects

It was a great week and I am really looking forward to the weekend. We have a little trip to IKEA planned for tomorrow, which is always fun and full of inspiration.
