Fight the Frump ~ Time for You

Ladies it is time to Fight the Frump with some quality ME time! Lets face it, everyone needs some “me time”.

Wives. Mothers. Grandmothers.

No matter what your current “role” is you have to find time to unwind.

Lately I have had such difficulty with this.

It is no ones fault but my own.

I have a wonderful support group surrounding me.

So what is my problem?

The list could go on and on ... but that's not what this post is about!

The best way for me to manage my time is to keep a schedule.

I must literally have it written out in front of me to check off as I go throughout my day.

While browsing the internet, I came across this fabulous website called Mom Agenda.

(You can click here to visit them AFTER you read this post and leave me a comment!)

They have great products to schedule every moment of my day and keep me on task.

I just love it!

It is unique and super cute with space for mom and up to four children.

I could plan each day with moment to moment details for me and the kids.

(Alright, I know that is not necessarily realistic)

~~~

I have decided to take action and make time for myself by doing the following:

• Delegating some of my tasks to my children. They can be very helpful and they do a very good. I just have a bad habit of wanting everything done my way!
• Stop multi-tasking! I know that sounds crazy, but sometimes I take on way too much. Focus on one task at a time. Who knows maybe it will help to accomplish the task faster!
• Make myself a priority. (I feel guilty for even typing that.) There are always going to be at least 25 other things that I could be doing. I just need to ignore them for a moment and schedule time for myself first.
• Relax and have fun. I tend to have such high expectations of myself and my family that before I know it I have missed out on all of the fun. After all, it is what it is and I am who I am, right?

Some of my favorite "Me Time" includes....

Getting a pedicure. Look at my lovely toes I just recently had done!

Browsing through a Pottery Barn catalog...ohhhh I love their décor.

Running.

Shopping. I big puffy heart shopping!

Tanning. (And, yes, I know it is bad for me.)

Getting my eyebrows waxed.  It can hurt, but boy do I feel good when they look good.

 

Getting my hair done. This is probably one of my fav “Me Times”.

 I feel so un-frumpy when my hair is all styled and looking hawt!

 

Meeting my girlfriends for a quick drink, and it is usually a quick one!

Taking a bubble bath with candles and silence.

And of course, blogging!

The only problem is I get lost in it. Before I know it, two hours have passed.

(I must work on that too.)

Have a Fabulous Friday Ladies and don’t forget to schedule some very special time just for you.

But before you do, you must stop by Fussy’s place to read more marvelous ways to fight the frump. Oh and leave me a comment!

Fight the Frump

Ladies, it is time to Fight the Frump with a new handbag.

I have had handbags on the brain lately.

I *adore* handbags.

I said in my previous fight the frump post

 that a girl can never have enough shoes….

well this time it is handbags.

A girl can never have enough handbags.

This is one of my handbags that I adore....

It holds everything that I simply must take with me everywhere I go.

And, as a mother of three, well, you can only imagine. I love summer time purses.

I love the colors and different styles.

Here are a few that left me drooling....

Well, Hello Yellow!

I'm just lovin yellow this spring.....

Oh la-la, this red Dooney & Bourke would match those Red High Heels!

~~~

So, what do you think....Do you like any of them?

Do you have a favorite handbag, one that you just can't live without?

 

Do you need a new handbag....any plans of going shopping soon???

What brings out the Sassy Girl in you?

Is it a tote, a shoulder bag, a satchel, a hobo, an evening bag or a clutch???

Let me know ladies, I can't wait to hear what you have to say!

Fight the Frump

Ladies it is time to Fight the Frump with some Red High Heels.

I'm talking about some Sexy Red High Heels. A pair that will cost a fortune and only be worn with that certain special outfit. A pair that you would only admire from the store window but not actually purchase. Now for me, this is difficult. The hubs ~ He does not like High Heels, especially on me. This is just awful because I am so short and I love wearing heels. Now for the most part I am all about making my guy happy, but sometimes I have to do something for “me”.

I have always had a shoe fetish, I simply adore shoes.

I firmly believe that a girl can never have enough shoes.

Although, you would never know it by looking into my current closet.

Once I became a Momma I traded in my Stilettos for more practical Mom Shoes!

*Ugh*

Why is that?

Why don’t I say to heck with it and buy that pair that are screaming at me to buy them?

I would look hot in those shoes!

So, this week I’m going to Fight the Frump and buy a pair of Red High Heels. The hubs would maybe like these because they are a shorter heel….
and I do like the polka dots inside the shoes! Click here for these adorable shoes

He wouldn’t like these, but I think they are classy….

Click here for these adorable shoes

Heck ladies, the shoes don’t have to be Red ~ Just buy some shoes!

I do believe that Kellie Pickler says it best in her song Red High Heels.

Yeah, you know the deal
Nobody holds a candle to me

In my red high heels

Have a Fabulous Friday Ladies
