In light of the declining economy, and as many other women, I am always on the hunt for cheaper solutions to the little life indulgences.
After a long day on Saturday (running errands with C. most of the morning, and spending the afternoon in the park pushing her on the swing), my feet were achy and tired and sore. So I decided I would love to soak them for a bit and use some scrub on them, and ... you got it, pamper a bit! Of course I discovered I have no more of those handy jars of body/foot scrub mix, so I decided to make my own. And it's so easy and muuuuch cheaper than the retail version that I don't think I would ever go back to buying it. I just mixed some baby oil with some salt (or you can use sugar if you like) in a little cup! And it worked just as well as the ones you buy in a jar. It was not the fancy kind, no lavender or rose petals in it, but it did what it was supposed to do: pampered my tired feet.

Has it really been that long?
Goodness! I can't believe how long it has been since I blogged.
Lots of things happened during this time.
My brother came and visited. He got to meet C. for the first time and that was really neat! They were playing and ticking each other and all that. If you would know my brother you would know that's a huge deal. He, like most men I know, is not one to express feelings and all that. But he was really sweet with C, and really did not hold back! It made me wish I could be back in Romania so that she could grow up with her cousins there!
Oh, and we did lots of shopping! He did actually, I was just along for the ride and to chauffeur him from Walmart to Target, to Old Navy, Borders and then back to Target... You know, the works!
Easter happened too! It was great to spend time with A's family, but it's always bitter sweet for me. Holidays always make me think of my family back in Romania. You would think that after 7 years I would be used to living here and not still miss it! But I still do. None the less, I loved being able to see the whole family together, especially that C's cousins came and they played together.
I am running back home now, but will update more in the next couple of days!
