Here I am again, to remind you to have some me time.

Hopefully you've got something planned or some me time that's happened since last T'You'sDay?

The me time I have had this week was short but ever so sweet.

Yesterday I had to go to Lidl to do a little #CBias shop and I left Aaron at home with Daddy.  Normally he would have insisted on coming with me but he was shattered from a weekend in Thomas Land AND he's so so close to Daddy now, who took a few days off for his birthday, so I took it as red, that he wanted to stay (although I did ask twice LOL) and ran for the hills :-)

It's a 20 minute walk there AND back.  I noticed every leaf on every tree.  I felt the sun on my face and took off the jacket I regretted putting on.

Once I realised how hot it was (you couldn't tell from indoors) I got myself back and changed into a summer dress, and took Aaron to a friend's, where we spent the whole afternoon in her garden.

Anyway, back to that shop.  I took photos to show the sort of things I was seeing and appreciating.


Loving the sun and its effect on the leaves.  Enjoying capturing it with my new camera!


Appreciating every burst of colour that I saw.
It might have been fleeting.  It may not have involved a spa day or putting my feet up.

But to walk without pushing a buggy, to start a thought and finish it without hearing "Mummmmmeeee" was priceless.

Sometimes it's the little things that are important.

What did you do?

Link up below; it's a blog hop after all.  Oh, and grab the badge, and encourage some other Mums to regain the spring in their step.

At The Stroke of Midnight - time for me on T'You'sDay



M is not only for Mum, it's also for Me (and me time)!

The ONLY trouble is, as a New Mum, you're the driving equivalent of a learner driver.
The L before the M!

Well THIS Mum has learned - it's taken too long, granted, but I am there.

Aaron is happier when I am happier, and that means taking - every so often - time for ME.

Cybher rocked my little world and Aaron was FULL of hugs for me the next day.

Last week I had a hair cut and a pedicure and I had a spring in my step for days - still have.

Tonight, here I am, at the stroke of midnight, watching tonight's two episodes of Corrie on catch up TV.  Granted it'll give me a late night, but it's worth it.  It might only be a little thing, and you the reader may not even like soaps.  Each to their own eh?  I know from a few years in the blogging world that we have many and varied hobbies.

June is going to be an amazing month.  We're away for the weekend for Aaron's birthday, then I have the weekend of Brit Mums Live to look forward to (lots of me time there) and then a weekend away with that +anya harris (and her boys and mine).

So, without further ado, I'll bring you to the point of this post.

I want us all to remember that M is for Me as well as Mum more often.  What's putting the spring in your step?

This will be a weekly Tuesday linky, except Tuesday is written as T'YOU'sDay, which is short for The You Is Day.

Several mums have linked up already :-)

The badge is here:

It represents a TV that is showing you the sky that is beyond the screen.  It represents the rose that you can give to yourself - the time you can make for you, if you make a few adjustments.
