Peace of Mind
It’s amazing how well you sleep when you are at peace. When things that used to keep you up no longer have power over you. Want to sleep better? Have peace of mind!
A Simple Kiss
My middle one does this to me every night. She grabs my face and kisses my forehead. It’s so cute. Of course she doesn’t realize what it means. I always do it back to her. It’s a soothing sensation. Whenever you can do it to those you love and want to protect. A simple kiss can mean a lot more than you think. ❤️
Glassblowing at Kinship Glassworks in Milford
I have been wanting try this for so long. It’s always been on my bucket list to do this. So when we were thinking of a fun and unique date night, I threw in this option. Luckily he was on board and we looked up places. There is a groupon for it too.
The great thing about this is it’s a private session. You call when you arrive. The garage doors are open. You all have your masks on and only remove them to do the actual blowing.
When you get inside you sign a waiver and you select your item and color.
The paperweights and flower you do not blow but get to mold. It was hard to decide on what to make because you wanted to be sure to get good use out of it. We decided to make glasses.
There are huge ovens everywhere. Industrial fans are going. Once you pick an item he gets a ball of melted glass. You bring it to the station where crushed colored glass gets rolled in it. Then the fun begins.
The owner was awesome having you be hands on. It educated us the whole time even had a ton of fun laughs and banter.
You bring it to a kettle where you roll it slowly- hard for me to slow the pace but it worked. As you roll it is melting your color into the glass and shaping it.
It’s so amazing to see it. Then the blowing begins. You put a disposable cover on the end and you blow as he rolls it back and forth. The blowing is expanding and shaping the glass.
As you blow he is shaping it.
It goes back and forth into the kennel until a glass gets molding and formed.
It’s the coolest thing ever.
Add the end he pours water at the end and taps it and the glass comes off.
They then bake it and the color sets in.
We couldn’t believe how cool our glasses looked.
They host big groups too and have more help on hand so you can have multiple sessions going on at once. It’s such a fun experience. Check it out.

Break Free & Start Again
The best thing you can do is break free from anything that isn’t serving you well and start again. Everyday is a new start. New chance.
2020 had so many crazy experiences. One big plus it cleared the path for me and helped me let go anything that wasn’t serving me well. To start again. To give other situations a chance. Clear your path. Allow new and better and healthy situations in.

Establishing Healthy Relationships
Here’s a simple spectrum. Simple. Right? What if I told you I can name dozens of unhealthy relationships. What if I said we all have probably experienced unhealthy or some form of an abusive relationship. It’s our job to break that cycle to find someone who we can have a healthy relationship with. Not boring. Healthy. There’s a difference!
Focus On Your Journey
This is important. Sometimes people don’t do what we think they should do. Some people never change. It’s ok. Focus on your journey. What you need and want!

Do Your Part...Wear A Mask
I get it. It’s not comfortable. It’s something else to remember. But what we are forgetting is it isn’t just protecting us. It’s protecting everyone we come into contact with. Do your part. It’s a small request. Wear your mask and save complaining for something else.

Hello Furry Boyfriend...I Mean Blanket
Last year I walked into Anthropologie and saw what we call a “furry boyfriend” blanket. My friends have some and it’s the best. Best to cuddle with and keep warm. I couldn’t bring myself to purchase it due to the price. It really wasn’t in my budget. So then I went back because I couldn’t stop thinking about it and said no matter what I am getting it. Well it wasn’t there anymore.
Today I walked by Anthropologie and the store was closed. I said ok no furry friend today. I decided to go to bed bath and beyond to grab some stuff and see a similar item. A third of the price. I had to get it.
Of course I downloaded a coupon and bought it. Now my girls all want one for their beds.
The pictures don’t do it justice. It’s great to cuddle with. It’s also nice to know I waited to purchase it and got it for an awesome price. Simple life pleasures.
