Love Your Weekend/Tips on having a good weekend

My Weekends are mixed. I often do a radio show on some Sundays and my son does a few sports and then we will play when the weather is warmer out in the garden and we will on Saturdays watch sport if there is football or rugby on and it just a great time to just unwind and get tasks done that you can't do in the week. 


Take some extra time to be with yourself. The weekend if you aren't working because of shops, hospital workers for example have to, but have some extra time to read if it possible, sit out in the garden when it is nice and sunny outdoors and I like getting up when it is dark and see the sunlight come through. If  you are a parent then ask if your spouse or partner to take the kids out whilst you spend extra time to listen to music, have a friend over or watch the Saturday morning TV. 

Arrange playdate. Often if my brothers family will pay a visit but my brother plays sports but a great time to see family and in the spring summer have a family BBQ.

Have time going out for a coffee if you can't during the week. This is one thing we do every weekend. Where my son plays rugby they have a club house and so we have a coffee, chat with the other parents and then go home have lunch and love a coffee at the weekends and making the most of the weekend, as my husband works in the week so not always possible to have a coffee as a family in the week and have done this before my son arrived in the world. 

Catch up on something. So Sunday mornings for me is watching a bit of comedy, Match of the Day and I do my radio show later in the day and it is good to catch up on things. Saturday I spend time with my son and in the Spring and Summer play football out in the garden and we have good chats when playing. 

Control your finances. Weekends is a great way to reset and go through your finances and do No Spend. Weekends used to be a time I'd spend money and I would find myself spending my whole wage in one weekend after payday. This has now changed. As said I like a coffee but my husband and I will take it in turns in paying for a coffee, but I no longer use the weekend to spend, but to save instead. 

A good night in. There was a time where I'd be out and wouldn't get home until 7am and be awake up to that time and go to an internet cafe until the buses were back on, but now I am glad I had those times, but glad they're over. I love a night in and watching Saturday night TV and have a drink indoors, but not getting drunk to the point I feel like death the next day.

#Sotheweekend use it to have fun. The housework can wait or it can be a good time to do housework but spending time with family overrides the housework and depending on your lifestyle have time to have a bath, read and just do what you like that gives you joy and chill if you don't often in the week and just be happy.

I love a pair of pyjamas

I am writing a book called Life as a Bedtime girl and she loves home life. She loves her book and bed, married to an Italian and comes and goes as she pleases. Would we like to have a life?  Me in my Christmas PJs It is good to invest in making sure you have a good sleep and having a good set of PJ's can help. I don't buy PJ's all of the time, as the ones I have had have lasted for a long time. I like clothes, including bed clothes that last and it can really help to settle for the evening. Invest in yourself. I have had trouble with sleep and its getting to sleep that I have struggled with, but now I sleep well and having a bath with a pair of lovely and easy wearing PJ's have helped and helps me be productive the next day. Having a nice set of sleep wear has made a difference. I have to have a set that allows my skin to breath and instantly relaxes me.  Then there is bedding. I will admit I not one to wash my bedding all of the time like I know I should, but is a must...

Why I Love a Morning Coffee

Image
I am sitting at my dining table which is in the Living room, creating my monthly Newsletter check out Everyone can build a castle , with my coffee. It inspired me because I know people say too much coffee is bad, which in my case is true but I still love to have a morning coffee.  Picture I took of a Cappuccino  Frappes are off the cards as they give me a bad stomach but normal iced or hot Lattes I am fine with as long as I limit it to two to three days a week, as I do love going for a coffee in a coffee shop once or twice in the week and during the weekend.  I currently have a cafetiere and it is nice but a bit weak, but I like making my own coffee some days rather buying. It can be expensive buying coffees in a shop and why I don't do it everyday.  My mum and Stepdad have a coffee machine which I use it now and again as I have a jar of instant coffee, but would like to invest in a Throffer and be able to have a latte at home. I have tried sachets, but I would ...

Why I love baths

Just had a lovely bath with Himalaya Salts and feel so refreshed. No this is not an advert, I just love that I have baths instead of showers now. I been listening to a Podcast and listened to one by Ken Bruce, Greatest Hits Radio with Elkie Brooks and singer I grew up listening to as my dad would play her songs.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhyn1WSGhXQ I don't have baths everyday, but every other day and alternate with my son, so he has a bath one evening and I have a bath the next evening and is my time I like to spend. Yes I do get disturbed being a parent, when in the bath. I am sure you can resonate, if you to are a parent too. There was a time where I'd have showers and I do at the weekend, but love having soak to relax and recuperate.  What do you prefer bath or shower? Please put down in the comment box below.  As I walk a lot, I like to allow my body to recover and some do ice baths. This has become a trend and seen on Instagram of celebrities getting ont...
