Is it really the 14th already? There is so much going on this month and it’s already half way over…that’s not a good sign! One of those months where it feels like all you’re doing is trying to “catch up”. Everyday is one step forward, one step back. The to-do list making is going on hard so I make sure nothing slips by and the yearning for summer freedom is growing stronger and stronger!
I had no idea this Sunday was Easter either! I don’t really celebrate so nothing missed, nothing to plan, but wow! I’m just trying to not let the calendar freak me out and just tick off one to-do everyday. Small steps = small progress, but progress is progress!

Right!
I love your Friday posts! Such great reading. Well wishes.
Great!
Happy Easter Rebecca! I hope you’re having a great weekend 🙂 thanks for sharing a great Friday Finisher with us as always! 🙂
Thanks Harriet! I hope you have a relaxing sunny weekend!
Smoothie kits are the most ridiculous thing! I’ve also seen frozen fruit mixes specifically labeled for smoothies (at almost double the price of regular frozen fruit). Seriously, even if you’re lazy (like me), how hard is it to buy a couple of bags of frozen fruit and through a handful of each into your blender?! Dumb marketing like this is just another reason people think eating healthy is expensive.
It is ridiculous! I feel like the kit is actually more work 😛 Silly, silly, marketing!
I’m having a very hard time with my work-life balance. I’m happy to know the experts are having some of the same issues that I am. Have a great weekend Rebecca
It’s one of those elusive things!
Rebecca, Thank you so much for including one of my articles on your incredible list! Truly honored to be a part of your reading pleasures. Definitely checking out your other featured articles and the rest of your site. Have a wonderful weekend!
Well congrats are your first Friday Finisher feature 😉
I definitely feel like 2017 is already flying by. Before I know it, I’ll be moving to Minnesota for grad school in July!!! And I’ll be celebrating Easter with the family. Nothing too crazy – a nice home-cooked dinner and some chocolate 😉
I know! Crazy! It will be 2018 in the blink of an eye!
Enjoy! Just as it should be!
