Where would you take a vacation?

I haven't taken a vacation in...[i'm counting]....okay if it takes me this long to count, it's been too long. Now that my numero uno is taking care of the bambino and likewise there is 1/2 of our income no longer streaming in... I resort to FREE Vacation giveaways. Well at least I'm going to try.

So Delicious - Coconut Milk is giving away 100 daily prizes and the main prize is a trip to Kamalaya Wellness Sanctuary & Holistic Spa in Thailand.

Enter to win here

Hey! Maybe they'll want some of my bath salts at their spa?!?! If you've never been to Thailand, GO. I had the pleasure of taking a trip around the world while in college and my absolute favorite stop was Thailand. Beautiful people, beautiful land. 

Adventures in Unemployment

So, this will be the first time I'm not gainfully employed since I was oh, 16 years old! It's my choice. Who would choose such a thing? Well, it was between returning to my job as a social worker 6 weeks after giving birth to my first child, or staying at home to raise my kiddo. I chose the latter.

Oh, I had PLANNED on returning to work it was all set. But, one look at those big blue eyes and I was sold. She wins this battle, at least for a few years.

So, here I am seeing if I can set up shop at home, juggling a small business, a small person, a small home with a small amount of peace and tranquility, which sounds like NO SMALL feat!

So, this is it...I am headed out on adventures in unemployment. Where will it lead me? We'll find out!
