Learning to Relax

I am grateful for the rains this weekend as it forced me to stay in and really have some down time and learn to relax. A lot of cooking, reading and movie watching took place and I was okay with that. It was a crazy and busy week for the both of us and next month will be even busier so I’m glad that we are learning the art of relaxing more, it will come in handy.

My favorite part of the weekend was that Sunday we went to the nearest park by our house and with snacks, books and blanket we laid in the sun and enjoyed pure quietness. We haven’t done this in years and we forgot how much we loved it. Kris even managed a cat nap and this is the only photo I captured, but it pretty much sums up the story.

I hope everyone is having a good week. I’m looking forward to the rest of my week as I have fun lunch dates, collaborations with fellow photographers and a girl’s night Thursday because I’m learning to relax and play as hard as I work.

Stay tuned for some linky love, the story behind my mamalita sessions and a recipe. While you’re at it, take a little time today to relax and enjoy yourself because you’re worth it!
