A Patchwork Life

Now is the time of year when those two small words are constantly running through my head:

Spring Break!

Mine is only a week away, and since my girls have a different school schedule, spring break is usually a staycation around these parts. I try to tackle a house project each year, but it’s also a time to rest and rejuvenate. This year, I’m going to finally cash in a gift certificate my wonderful mother-in-law gave me for Christmas and get a massage, manicure and pedicure one day during the week. I’m going to sleep, and I’m going to read for pleasure, and I’m going to cook new recipes and just relax.

In addition to resting, I’m in the mood for some new beginnings. While I’m not making any massive changes, I’m enjoying the smaller ones: a new short haircut, a new blog template, new ideas for my classes next year, and new projects at school.

It’s going to be lovely, in a very low-key, old grown-up kind of way!
