This is my first full week back to work after the holidays. I did actually do some work during the break but I kept it to the bare minimum and really allowed myself some down time. It. Was. Glorious!
Don’t get me wrong. I love my job. I love the writing and the creativity and I love being able to interact with others through social media. It’s just that the end of the year is SO busy and it was difficult to find a moment to myself. So, I did a bunch of reading (look for some book recommendation posts coming soon) and got back into some neglected crafting.
You can expect to see some paper quilling, embroidery, silk ribbon embroidery, and needle felting projects in the next month or two. The time to just be creative at my own pace was so relaxing. Have you taken any time for some fun and self care lately?
This weekly menu plan has several meals based on soup. I have to admit, I’m not usually such a big soup fan but I’ve been feeling all cozy and craving soothing comfort food like that. And after all, it is National Soup Month!
