Mommy's Time Out ... You deserve it!

found this on line and had to share it. You can purchase it here.

Whether you are a mommy of  young children, older children or four legged children ~ all Mommies need a little time for themselves. This week-end marks the official start to Autumn 2012!!! What better way to welcome fall, than with a few hours (or afternoon or evening or whole day!!!) just for YOU!!!

To give you some inspiration I'm sharing some items that would make my Time Out ... so much fun!! Of course a nice relaxing bubble bath; while enjoying some tea. After applying some luxurious body lotion and slipping into a comfy pajama, soft soft slippers and curling up on a chair with a great book or an issue of Tea Time or Town & Country magazine.

Change of Season ....and a Long Week-end

With the ending of  each season comes the beginning of a new. Though autumn will not officially arrive until September 21st the warm days and crisp evenings remind us that a change of season will soon be upon us. 

Much like the seasons when things come to an end in our life, we need to look towards the NEW that awaits us. For new beginnings come from another beginnings end. 

This does not mean that one forgets the life they lived before or all that has happened ~ happiness, love, sadness, hurt, betrayal, forgiveness, appreciation, illness, good health, wealth or poverty. It means we are blessed to have experienced and learned so much from each one. But it's time to move forward and embrace the new, the unknown, the unwritten and to create a better YOU and life!

Changing of the Seasons

Not too long ago, here at the High Heeled Life country home, we were saying how hot it was! Wishing for cooler temps. Well, just like that the weather is changing and though summer is not yet officially over, when you live in the country , as the weather starts to cool its time to start preparing for the change of seasons.

Morning garden walks are starting to require these...

Gardens need to be readied for the cold weather... plants moved, trimmed back, protected, autumn bulbs planted so that a beauty of colour will greet us after the long winter, etc.

Though our renovations are almost complete ... a wood burning fireplace is not planned until next phase of renos. But, when you live in the country and about 90% of your property is forest... trees need to be cleaned up from rain storms, and just ageing trees. Wood that is good for burning is cut and stored in the barn (yes, we have a barn..lol)

We don't rake in the forest but the trees that surround our home leave quite the leaf blanket, that needs to be raked, blown and bagged or burned. 

Living in the country as the seasons change from summer to autumn, makes drives into town that more magical.

Of course visiting the local orchard is also part of the autumn activities...

Coming home and baking  some yummy apple pies, or covered apple treats!!

Autumn is my favourite season  ... I love all that comes with it...

How about you, are you starting to get into autumn mood? Are there certain chores that need to be completed before the winter snow comes?
