Mid Week (Wednesday) Check In: Birthday Celebrations

Happy Wednesday. Today is a great day and I hope you are having an amazing one. I celebrated my 41st birthday yesterday. It was a good day of doing very little. There are a few the things that I am working on and working through for this week. So’s let’s get to a mid week check in.

Birthday Celebration

I had plans to attend a few things. My initial plan was so start at Starbucks for my free drink then head to the Wellness Refinery. However my cat, Tiki had gotten an infection and had been hospitalized for a few days. I spent most of the morning at the hospital visiting him. If someone would have told me a few years ago that I would have been the type of person who would love a cat this strongly, I would have denied it. However Mother’s Day I was so sad. My cat had stopped eating and definitely needed to be at the hospital. The whole house was sad.

Thankfully he came home around 7pm last night. I immediately felt better. I am also a twin but my twin is away and this is the first year we haven’t been around one another or at least talk to one another. So a combination had me in a solemn mood. So I will go to the Wellness Refinery later in the week. I did have my Starbucks. All in all I had my champagne and pasta and some amazing plant based treats by Dr. Brownies. For this year I plan to focus on more projects that are long term. I want to make sure that I show up daily as my best version. I hope you are considering the same thing.

Playish Event Childcare

If you missed it I also went live with Playish Event Childcare.  Playish is an events daycare. Meaning if you are hosting a wedding or an event you can have Playish on site so that those attending who have children can attend and have respectable daycare. Think about the many parents like myself who may attend a family function like a wedding and the people or person you usually have watch your child or children is at the event. Without a backup plan that many do not have, you end up missing out. This is the plight of mang parents. Parents need to have time to themselves too. Self care for parents is important. Owner, Malissa is also doing community pop ups. On May 22, 2022 she will be hosting community pop up. It’s called Parents Night out. The tickets are 38 dollars per kid. You will not only have the ability to go out for 4-5 hours but the venue where the kids will be have security in addition to the use of an app to see your child while you are away from them. Tickets are on sale now.

Wednesday Wisdom

I have been on this mission to eliminate stress out of my life. One of the ways is not doing anything that doesn’t agree with me. Anything that doesn’t suit me I will not do. I have been saying NO to events and working with any PR or anyone for that matter that doesn’t feel good to in any way. So if you have been struggling in the same area-you aren’t the only one. Life is hard enough. I have a lot going on. No longer am I entertaining anything just for the sake of entertaining it. So take a few steps to ensure what you are doing is for you:

• Is it beneficial to you and for you in the present and long run
• Will you feel guilty for saying yes, then say NO
• No is a one word sentence
• Do not do anything that is uncomfortable

Travel and Schedule Uptick Wednesday Flow

My schedule is doing what I want it to do. It’s filling up nicely. A few business trips are on the horizon. For instance if you saw me advertising about BlogHer-that’s because I will be in LA next week. Do not be alarmed the blogs will go on as planned. They are being edited now. This will ensure you will not miss a beat. However there will be about a few blogs of recaps and definitely content too. If you are following me on social media make sure you do. From reels, tik tok and more there will be an overflow of things coming from LA. I can’t wait.

In addition I am getting beach ready. If you have ever been to the beach and love it you know that beaches are apart of my personal self care. I take several trips with the kids as well as by myself. I am grateful for my new car because it’s the perfect size for travel. Who is ready for all of this Summer sun? Remember to schedule some solo trips or staycations. I plan to take a staycation/solo trip in the very beginning of June. Well happy Wednesday. I will check back in Friday for Friday Check in.
