'There's the life you live and the life you leave behind. But, what you share with someone else, especially someone you love, that's not just how you bury your past, it's how you write your future. Tell your story. That's the secret of immortality, the one true way to live forever.'

You have two hours to do something relaxing, and a budget of $100 dollars. What will you do?
My fingers tap out a tune on the steering wheel. I have two hours. Two hours for just me. The options are limitless. I used to think that two hours was no time at all, but after being a mom, there is a lot I can shove into two free hours.
My first stop: The Brew.
With Caramel Apple Cider, topped with whipped cream, and a pumpkin spice slice, I make my way back to the car.
My second stop: The Mall.
My cider and bread slice are nestled into both hands. I lean back into the massage chair and sigh. I don't know which is better, the back massage or the foot scrub. Pedicure equals heaven. Truly. Having someone rub your feet and paint your nails for a whole hour... Can you think of anything more relaxing?
I still have a half hour. What do I do with my time?
My last stop: West River Community Center.
The indoor track, my pandora Enya station, some headphones, and walking. It's almost as good as the pedicure. Not only am I doing something healthy for myself, my body is filled with endorphins, which makes me smile.
I drive home quickly. It's been nice to have a break. But I'm ready to get back to my Loves. Both of them. After the reset, I'm more than happy to be a wife and mommy. The free time allows me to recharge my battery that I am constantly pulling from. And, the best news: I still have left over cash.
Thank you for joining me!
