Two and a half weeks left...
I'm not a good blogger. Or, to put that in a more positive light, I am good at not blogging:)
I think about it all the time, when I'm out, and then forget when I'm back at home. One of the biggest pleasures of my time in London has been no schedule. I love it! I needed it. I still need it. It is so freeing to NOT have to be anywhere. I'm not running around because someone else is telling me I have to.
Anyway, we're sitting in Hyde Park waiting for the big boys and daddy, the little ones have their shoes off and are running around free. It's beautiful, it's what a four and eight year old should be doing.
So I'm people watching, you see it all here, and I notice two men, in work attire, walking down a path in serious conversation and then I notice it. You don't see it often, definitely not often enough. Each gentleman had an ice cream cone. Strolling, talking and enjoying a bit of time away from the office with an ice cream cone.
So go enjoy an ice cream cone, a cup of tea or anything at all. Just make the time to enjoy a moment today. A simple, uncomplicated moment.
Enjoy!

The London Times
Ok, so I'm not doing a good job at blogging so far. I feel like my mind has been racing around so much that it went blank!
So here we are, 'Leap Day', so I'm going to try to leap back into my blog or should I say leap into doing my blog.
I've titled this the London times because I've been in London for a week with my 4 year old and my 3 older boys arrived today. I'm going to chronicle our time here. Our adventures, mishaps, discoveries and realizations and everything in between.
The first profound piece of information my oldest said this evening as we were walking back to the apartment from the market, and to no one's surprise I had us walk in a 10 minute circle before getting on the right path while we each carried 2 very large and heavy bags of groceries, was that if we lived here, just living life and doing our normal daily activities would keep us lean and healthy. Since this is such a pedestrian city and we all do love to walk, we wouldn't stress about going to the gym or fitting in a workout because we most likely would have walked to most places we needed to go, we'd carry our belongings instead of throwing them in the backseat and if we wanted a treat or say a Starbucks, we wouldn't go through the drive, we'd walk there and back.
This is what I love about London. I love walking. I love feeling in control of my destination and more importantly in control of how I get there.
Happy leaping into the London Times!
Good night.

Happy New Year!
Can you believe it's already 2012? I can't. Where did 2011 go? What can I do to stretch the year out? To savor it and remember it???
Maybe that can be my 2012 resolution. Quit rushing around wasting the little moments and figure out how to use my time more efficiently. How can I design my day to get through the necessities and on to the enjoying?
How can I design my day to enjoy the necessities? I enjoy all the usual necessities on an individual basis, cooking, cleaning, organizing, grocery shopping (oh, how i love to go to the grocery store!!!), but when you have to roll them all together and accomplish several at the same time, they lose that sense of accomplishment and just become a chore.
Let's change all that. Let's pick the pieces apart and enjoy them one by one, even if you're just enjoying the fact that your done. Hey, I'm the girl that jots down the list when I'm half way done just so I can check off the items I've already done. I'm all about enjoying and I'll do what it takes to enjoy the ride!
Happy first day of 2012
