I am going to ease into the weekend today, working only until early afternoon.  I'm looking forward to dinner out with my husband tonight (it's been a while) and coffee with a good friend tomorrow.

Yesterday, on Simple Mom, there was a list of things to do that make you happy, or that feel indulgent, and I'm determined to add a bit of ease into my days by doing some of these things:

From Simple Mom:

• Brew your favorite herbal tea
• Sip a cup of warm apple cider
• Simmer orange peels and cinnamon sticks over the stove to scent the whole house
• Curl up with a blanket and favorite book or magazine
• Take a mid-day stretch
• Work on an art or craft you love
• Turn on some good music
• Cook a special mea
• Give yourself a foot or neck massage with a scented oil
• Take a warm long bubble bath after the kids are asleep
• Stroll through a bookstore-museum-art gallery-thrift shop
• Drive around and look at the Christmas lights
• Rent your favorite movie and pop popcorn
• Bake cookies
• Take a brisk walk in the afternoon when the sun is out

Have a lovely weekend~
