This week my son has been at his grandparents' house for spring break.  I thought it would be a fabulous week for me to have some "me" time!  As moms we're always dreaming of getting to do what we want, when we want to do it. "Hhhuuummm, if the kids weren't around I'd (fill in the blank)."

For me this week it was a plan to get a pedicure.  Spoiler alert:  that didn't happen.  My toes still look like hobbit feet.  (I don't really know what hobbit feet look like but I'll guess it's what mine look like right now)

If you read the attached post The Temporary Empty Nest from my blog you'll notice that a pedicure didn't happen but I learned a little about myself.  The big ah-ha is that I have a whole lot to be thankful for.

Let's appreciate our kids and our families while they're here with us.  This spring break, take some time to enjoy your loved ones.  Just "be" and soak up all the little things they do that add so much joy to our lives.
