It’s Thursday–or as I like to call it, Friday Eve!

In all seriousness, I would much prefer it to be Friday but as the weather seems to get nicer every day {minus the torrential rains we got yesterday!} my attitude has just drastically improved. Not saying I’m a major fan of Thursdays by any means but I feel like I’m almost to the weekend and that makes me happy. This week has been crazier than usual and the days have seemed to drag on so my #ThursdayThree is focusing on three things that have helped me survive the long days…

#1 – LaCroix Water – I love most of their flavors but have been downing the Pamplemousse like it’s my job this week. I’ve been feeling a bit lethargic and dehydrated plus have been constantly thirsty but usual ice water just hasn’t been cutting it. I was at Target Sunday afternoon and they had 12-packs on sale so I grabbed this one and have just been obsessed. I finally feel like my thirst has been quenched and since I don’t drink soda, this has been the perfect way to add some interest and carbonation to my taste buds! I’ve heard really good things about the Peach-Pear flavor, so that’s up next for me to try.

#2 – Meditation – This topic will be getting its own post in the future, but for now, it’s just getting a quick shout-out. With my mind wandering and my physical self being pulled in a ton of different directions this week, meditating for just 10 minutes/day has done wonders. I’ve been more calm, less stressed and feel confident that I can tackle anything the day throws at me. It’s dedicated ‘me’ time, that is uninterrupted, where I can think about whatever the heck I do or do not want to.

#3 – Being an AUNT!!! Palmer will be 4 weeks old tomorrow. Craziness! Sunday and Monday night, my sister Haley & Palmer were our ‘roommates’ and I loved every single second of it. I’m an absolute baby hog and am unashamed. I was able to steal P from Haley around 5:30am both mornings so she could get a few hours of peaceful sleep and I could get my aunt fix. It was total perfection. Having him around was so amazing {Haley too, I guess} and it really helped me put everything into perspective. I’ve been so ‘go, go, go’ lately and he forced me to just sit down, relax, and enjoy the moments.
