whew...

it has been one of those days. it started out not so great with me feeling bad and seemed never ending. by 5:15pm when mike got home, my body felt on the verge of collapse and my eyes filled with tears (just for a second or two) because i was so tired/hormonal and ready for a break. so while i finished cooking dinner for us, he fed sadie. after i gave her her bath, they played so i could sit and read blogs and do nothing. then he put her to bed so i could get in the bathtub. i just so appreciate having a husband who wants to and will volunteer to take care of sadie so i can get some alone time. i love my sweet sadie with all my heart, but at times, a mama needs a break.
so here is my little table beside my bathtub. i lit my volcano aloha candle from anthropologie and mike brought me in a glass of wine to drink while i soaked. the perfect smell of my candle and hot water really relaxed me and was just what i needed. here i am after my bath in my silky pjs, ready to get in bed with my wine and some hershey's chocolate and a good book.


good night!

  2. oh, now all I want to do is take a bubble bath with a good book and some wine. Tonight seems like the perfect night to do just that. Thanks for inspiring me to relax.

  5. I love that I have a nice big bathtub, for this reason!! I retreat to a bath with my book and wine many nights when my husband relieves me from my mom duties. Sometimes you just need to shut your door and be alone for a bit. Hope you are feeling better Danielle!

    Cute pic of your pj's!

    Happy New Year!!
