Hey friends, welcome to Friday Favourites! Today I’m popping in quickly to say hi and share a few favourite things from my week. Let’s go!
First Favourite: The Week is Over!
The last week before the end of term is always the slowest — at least that’s how it feels, anyway. I wasn’t sure I’d make it to the finish line because I’ve been feeling unwell with a cold that just wouldn’t go away… but also wouldn’t fully knock me down. You know those annoying colds where you’re not quite sick enough to stay home from work, but you don’t feel like you’re functioning at your best? Yep, that was me. All week. Right up until yesterday, when I finally started to feel a bit more like myself.
A Miracle Vitamin (maybe?)
When I told my lovely friend at work how lousy I felt, she gave me a vitamin with garlic, Vitamin C, and echinacea that she absolutely swears by. I don’t know if it was that little capsule or just my immune system finally kicking in. But by Thursday, I was feeling so much better. So that’s definitely a favourite!
Blogging Plans for the Holidays
Funny enough, feeling sick actually sparked an idea for a post about how to stay healthy when you work in childcare — it’s in the works.
And now that I’ll have some time on my hands over the next couple of weeks, I plan to post that one (plus a few more). I’m really looking forward to spending more time blogging these school holidays.
Sunshine!
Walking home from work today felt extra amazing! The sun was still shining, and after a busy week of cleaning and packing everything away, ready for Term 3, it felt so good knowing Term 2 is finally done. It’s not my favourite term, so I’m really glad it’s over.
We’d just come through some of the wildest weather I’ve seen in a long time — cyclone warnings, strong winds, and a few days stuck inside with all the kids. The beautiful sunshine was exactly what I needed!
Hello Winter School Holidays
And of course, the biggest favourite this week has to be that I’m finally on a two-week term break! Last night, I turned off my alarm for the last time before the holidays — and it felt amazing. I can’t wait to catch up with friends, binge my favourite shows, lounge around, and just be. For the next couple of weeks, I’m officially a lady of leisure — and I’m beyond excited!
So, I’m about to jump off the computer, go have a shower, eat dinner in front of the TV (everyone else is out for the evening — work and the gym), and grab some snacks for later. The fun starts in 3… 2… 1… now!
Have a wonderful weekend, and I look forward to being back here on Monday.
Linking up with Andrea and Erika
Glad you’re starting to feel better; those kinds of lingering colds can be the worst. Funny enough I rarely caught anything when I worked in day care but my poor husband seemed to catch everything! I must have been the carrier that brought it all home. I kept insisting I was building up his immune system.
I am glad you are feeling a bit better now. Those type of colds are the worst! It sounds like the vitamin really helped.
How lovely for you to see the sun shining, especially after the rubbish weather that you have had. Have a wonderful winter break! x
I’m glad you’re feeling better! Hope you have a great break.
Congratulations on end of term!! A break from the norm is always a nice treat! Glad you’re feeling better now, it was definitely the capsule! Haha.
Booo to the cold! I hope you are feeling better now.
Aw, blue skies are great therapy, aren’t they! Everything feels so much better with a little sunshine in a blue sky.
Yay to the holidays! I hope you manage to spend lots of you time, just relaxing and doing your favourite things. Enjoy! xx
