It’s been a busy few weeks.  Between my 2 year old, my household, my husband, my gift guide, my upcoming baby shower, and all of the media events…it’s been an exciting whirlwind.  And oh…I’m about to have a baby!  This week I’ve decided to take a break.  This week is a time of reflection…a time to focus on my husband and son who are home with me the entire week.  We’re going to take naps together and watch movies and play outside. We won’t be going to the mall or to any holiday parties.  Black Friday will come and go and we won’t be a part of it (for the very first time!).  And I’m totally ok with it.  In fact, I’m looking forward to being lazy in my pajamas until noon, eating breakfast in bed, and sleeping in until our little alarm clock wakes us up!

Even when I wasn’t blogging (or pregnant), I always found this time to be hectic and somewhat chaotic.  The shoppping…the cooking…the entertaining…the get togethers with family and friends…  I like to be busy.  I like to take my son to different events…to experience new sights and sounds.  But this week…we’re just going to take it easy.
