The Happy Train! Guest Blogger-Erin

It's Friday woo! I'm working. You're reading. Yada Yada.

Today we have Erin from Confessions of a Magnolia Mom.

One of my favorite ladies so please give her a warm welcome!

I'll be back later with a Pinterest Project how to!

Hello, Running in Pearls readers! Sonja has graciously let me take over today and I am quite excited!

Before we get ahead of ourselves, I'm Erin. Mama to J. Wife to B. 

On a typical day, you'll find me documenting our life over at Confessions of a Magnolia Mom. 

With a mess of a one-year-old there is no shortage of catastrophes entertainment to be shared! 

Feel free to stop by and introduce yourself, I'd love to hear from you!

 

Now that we've been formally introduced, let's talk about the Happy Train.


If we're being honest, on top of suffering from Early Onset Adult Exhaustion {read more here}, I've had an awful case of the Mondays every day this week!


It's as if the happy train is flying past my stop each morning without a second thought.


Um, hello, I want on!

So, what's a girl to do?

I've been pondering over this seemingly simple question for a couple weeks now and have come to only one conclusion...

Pamper yourself.

And ladies, with Mother's Day around the corner, this is the perfect time for some pampering! Who are we kidding, any time is good for pampering!

With a ticket to the happy train in grasp, it's time to get to work. But how should one overly exhausted mama treat herself? That's easy...

First up, a hair cut. I realized this week it has been one year and one month since I've had my hair cut. Yes, you read that correctly. I have not had my haircut since before having Jackson.

Next? A mani-pedi. Whether I do it myself or go to the closest salon, a little color on the nails always puts a pep in my step. And as the South has apparently decided to skip Spring and jump right to Summer, a few new dresses are in order.

Squee...I feel like a new woman just writing out my plans!

However, the final event to secure my seat on the Happy Train? It might just be ice cream for dinner, as Jenn so wisely suggested earlier this week. Because sometimes you've got to quit calorie-counting and indulge.

A little pampering can go a long way, something we should all remember. Far too often we spend all of our time pampering our families. Well, I'd say it's time for someone to pamper us.

Thanks to Sonja for letting me visit your space of the blogland today!   

Thanks Erin! and you ARE welcome :)
