Monthly Self-Care
I want to get in the habit of these self-care rituals monthly:- Car wash
- Massage
- Pedicure
Obviously, these expenses can add up quickly. To keep costs down, I go with the most basic and inexpensive car wash, I get massages as a massage school (the cost is $40 flat), and I try to get inexpensive pedicures.All of these things are indulgences, but they bring a lot of happiness into my life. At least I save money by rarely going to places like Starbucks, not buying alcohol, and not having cable! -
Energy Audit
I’ve been feeling such a lack of energy lately! I hate this feeling, and I need to do some introspection to figure out what’s causing it and what I can do to regain some energy.- Matt and I are inconsistent about turing the lights out at 10pm. We really need to do this! Getting adequate sleep is integral to having higher levels of energy.
- I need to regularly take my multivitamins. As a vegetarian, I think I need the extra little boost of iron.
- I need to pick up the clutter around our house. I’m someone who is very impacted by my surroundings, and disorder leaves me feeling unsettled.

Things to Do in L.A. with Kids
We are heading to Los Angeles for Fall Break! Matt and I know that our time with our young boys is going to go by fast, and we try to think of ways to savor it as much as possible. For us, going on as many family vacations as possible is one of those ways. At my school, we have a Fall Break, Winter Break, Spring Break, and Summer Break every year. These vacations are a time to build so many memories.
Here’s what we’re thinking for L.A. (please chime in if you have other ideas!).… Read More- The Farmer’s Market for lunch
