Friday I’m in Love

Happy Friday everyone! How has your week been? The first half of mine was not the best. I don’t know what was going on, the kiddos were in horrible moods, arguing and falling out ALL.DAY.LONG. I was at the mid-way point in my cycle, and that always makes me feel a little emotional, but I was ridiculously tired and stressed out too. Wednesday I declared a ‘give up’ day – we abandoned all the shoulds and musts, and baked cakes and watched a movie instead {and I had a sneaky afternoon nap}.

Thankfully, by Thursday I was feeling back to my old self! And now it’s the weekend… I have a tattoo appointment today, four hours of getting the geisha on my arm reworked. Then Miss Baya has friends over on Saturday for a birthday sleepover, so it will be a noisy weekend here!

Here are some links I’m loving around the web:

*  I’ve two new vlogs up – Our Mothers Day & Keeping it Real, and I filmed my wardrobe detox!

* Asides from the eggs, these 13 things to eat for better skin are the mainstays of my diet anyway. Yay!

* Why dirt is good for kids

* Love the sound of some of these vegan lunches

* And these vegetarian grain bowls sound good too {I’d just switch the greek yogurt for soy yogurt}

* 10 routines to strengthen your parent-child bond

* It’s my birthday at the end of the month – this moon deck is on my wishlist, as well as this print, one of these salt lamps, a kettle bell and this book.

* Love this piece on what happiness really is.

* If you’re an introvert like me, chances are you’ll have experienced an ‘introvert hangover‘

* Ditch the grammar and teach children storytelling instead

* How to become the best version of you
