Fidget Spinners

I'm sure every parent in America has heard about these new toys called "Fidget Spinners". The other day, Kay (8), texted me while I was away and told me that she "needs" a Fidget Spinner. I was immediately alarmed! I have been  told that these toys were used to treat ADHD and anxiety. As any panicked mom would, I responded back with hundreds of questions about why she wanted one and who told her she needed one. Her response? Simple. "I miss you when you have to work out of town." I know the separation can be hard for kids especially when there is only one parent. So, I decided to look into getting her one. I cannot seem to get my hands on one for less than $20 and I'm not willing to pay that. I need you guys HELP! lol Give me some feedback! Have you used one? Does it work? Can I find a less expensive option? 

Mother's Day Weekend - Recharge

Lately my job has had me super busy! Between traveling, long hours, and paper work galore, I've been so focused on doing a great job to prepare for the next level, that I've neglected myself.

When asked what I wanted for Mother's Day, I told my mom the best gift I could receive would be a getaway. I had the perfect scenario. I would go to the beach and listen to the ocean to reconnect with myself but the rain changed those plans for me. As we all know, everything happens for a reason and I got an even BETTER gift! I woke up, cooked breakfast (I almost burned the grits, lol) and got back in bed! It has been so long since I've gotten back in bed! It was heaven on earth and I didn't know what to do with myself. I binge watched my favorite home improvement shows and napped through out the day.

Later in the evening I thought about pulling out my laptop to work but I remembered I'm on vacation. RELAX. Work will be there Monday when I return.

Remember, in the workforce you're replaceable. They WILL hire someone else.

At home, you're irreplaceable. No one could ever take your place.

Take time to recharge for YOU! You deserve it.

XOXO,
Natalie
