be still

The P52 theme this week is be still.  This theme actually served as a great reminder to make time to be still and not always feel the need to rush around and do things all of the time.  It's okay to take time out and read a book, nap, and be lazy in front of the TV or computer.

This past weekend, my husband was away in Thailand for a boys weekend, so I totally embraced my time alone by being still and staying in for most of the weekend.  I went out for some breakfast on Saturday and then didn't leave the house until Sunday evening.  What did I do that whole time? I read 3 books, watched a lot of episodes of NCIS, and got caught up on blogs, e-mails, and laundry.  What I didn't do? I didn't do work for school, I didn't worry, and I didn't shower.  :) It was kind of nice!

Yummy Portuguese egg tarts!

I had to take a bite out when it was still hot.  Delicious!

Relaxing peppermint oils

I read book 2 and 3 in The Hunger Games series on Saturday as well as finishing 
Battle Hymns of the Tiger Mother.  I enjoyed all of the books and would totally recommend them!

My husband is the best.  
Before leaving for his trip, he left me the roses, note, and twix for me!

    Pretty color on the tarts. I would love the recipe! Hunger Games is one of my favorite series ever. I couldn't make myself stop reading.

      The tarts are delicious, but sadly I do not know how to make them. If I ever do, I will make sure to share it with you! :)

    Sounds like an awesome weekend! The Hunger Games trilogy is perfect for a quiet weekend! Good for you for relaxing and "being still"...I'm hoping for some of that next week in Indonesia for spring break! Of course, I'll have 40 middle schoolers with me and we're there for a mission trip, but I'm hoping for some "still" time!

      I hope you have some still time too with so many kids around! :) I hope the missions trip goes well and that the kids learn a lot from the experience! :)
