So Mrs B, What’s the deal?

Here we are, 2 weeks into my 12 week plan and I’m already behind.

Reader, do not worry! (were you worrying?)

Plans are good, making a work plan when the school holidays start and you haven’t started on the plan is not such a good idea. The other good thing about plans is they can be changed!

I just changed things up a bit and week one starts today.

So what have I been up to for the last 2 weeks? Reuben, Nina and I spent the first week of the holidays in full relaxation mode. Week 2 was meant to be about making the house organised and getting some sort of household routine going. Instead Reuben and I got sick. (See plans can be changed!) So we spent a lot more time relaxing, and hanging out at home. I’ve also done some baking and its been quite fun and a little messy having Nina helping me!

Cheers for now and my next post will be on Wednesday with another bite sized book review. Its a cozy mystery that’s like Raspberries and chocolate.

What’s next for Mrs B?

So here we are on the last day of the school term.

Earlier this week I was thinking about how I’m approaching the holidays with a new mind set. I’ll make sure I look after myself so I can spend quality time with Reuben and Nina without ending up an anxious mess. I gave my self a mental pat on the back when I realised this is progress!

Then I got to thinking about how I will feel about the last day of term in September, which it turns out is in exactly 12 weeks. I want to still feel that I’m making progress and to look back again and see how far I’ve come.

I started with a list and based the plan and goals on that.

1: Write (I’ve mapped out 12 weeks of blog posts)

2: Read (I’ve got to have something to review! I also love reading and my kindle)

3: Exercise (During the holidays and weekends, run about with the kids, on kindy mornings I will aim for 3 x 30 minute walks per week)

4: Self Care ( I’ve already booked appointments for a haircut, brow shape, and the dentist)

5: Cook (I’ve mentioned before that I struggle with disordered eating. I’ll talk more about that in a later post.)

Nina has a few extra hours at Kindy for next term, and her transition to school will happen before I know it. I would love to earn a few pennies with my book reviews If I was able to. So my reviews will have affiliate links.

One of the key things for my 12 week plan is that I wanted to spend as LITTLE money as possible.

The time I have to myself is precious and I don’t want the added complication of spending money on boot camps, gym memberships, eating plans & detox teas. These things don’t work for me. They do work for some people just not for me. Honestly I’d much rather have money to spend on handbags, lipsticks, books and fabulous meals with friends.

So if you’re wondering where you will be on the last day of next term join me (if you like), make a list, make a plan, and we can do it together. 🙂
