B2S Shopping Begins!

It's the middle of July and I've already started my back to school shopping! The first purchase is for my tween, who is definitely a rockstar not a diva. I purchased this Hollister messenger bag from Hollister.com for $15.90! What a great deal. Hopefully this bag can take the weight of all of her textbooks.

Tea with a Diva

Like many Divas, I tend to not do any research because I know someone else will do it and tell me all I need to know. This weekend was no exception. I knew where I was going, what time I had to be there, and who was coming with me.

As we graced the steps of this fabulous mansion in Washington, D.C., I new I was headed for a treat when I received a visitor badge that read: "I'm Fabulous! Hillwood Museum". Finally, a place after my own heart!

My friends and I decided to first have tea. I thought we would have tea in a tranquil, beautiful place. Unfortunately, it was the complete opposite. The "cafe" was tight and as a result loud. Umph, maybe that was just us!

The
tea presentation was o.k. Not fabulous, however, like my button would have me believe. But luckily the tour of the mansion grounds made up for it!

Thankfully, I was provided with the audio tour earphones or else I would have missed this wonderful opportunity to learn about a 1930's Diva. The
Hillwood Museum was one of the residences where Marjorie Merriweather Post lived. Just a little background... She was the sole heir to the Post cereal fortune (courtesy of her dad) and was also married to E.F. Hutton. Remember when "E.F. Hutton talks, people listen"? Yeah, that's him!

Ms. Merriweather-Post collected various Russian art, Sevres porcelain, and other French artworks. In addition to her artwork, there is a fabulous rose and
Japanese-style garden. As part of her will, Ms. Merriweather-Post bequeath her estate to be turned into a museum.

For anyone visiting the Washington, D.C. area, I would highly suggest visiting this museum.

My Head Keeps Spinning....

I stopped working over 2 years ago and I feel as though I'm more busy now than before! Does anyone else feel this way? As a teacher for over 4 years and a mom of two (at the time), life was chaotic but manageable. Like most teachers, I brought work home which made it difficult to concentrate on my kids and their homework and activities. Often I brought papers to grade while at karate or swimming but everything got done with no enormous pressure on me. But now, whoa! I am a stay-at-home working mom with a new baby boy (7 months) and I literally feel like my head is spinning. During the day I try to keep up with the laundry, the groceries, and the dishes but fail miserably. My lil' one (we'll call him lil' rock), is just now getting the hang of keeping his food down (that's a whole other blog) and is just now finding his groove with eating, napping, and playing. Now that he's in a happy place, I am trying to focus more on my business but since it's coming in third, it's hard to find the energy to promote my dream.

Is it the 3 kids which makes life so hectic, my dabble in my own business, or my desire to be the "good mom & wife" who has dinner ready, dishes clean, and laundry folded? Perhaps, it's trying to do all three. What's the solution? Cut the kid activities? Drop the business? Give up on the image of the "perfect home"? That seems like the best solution but only if everyone else does.
