One of My New Toys
Posted by LaTara on August 22, 2008
I am on a mission to do the things that LaTara enjoys doing. If you read my post Nurture You, you will know that I allowed myself to become everything to my husband and kids and very little to myself.
So this was my year to regain LaTara and start doing things that she enjoys doing. A few of the things that i enjoy doing are:
- Reading good books
- Singing - I was in the choir for over 10 years and loved the training and challenge of singing gospel
- Listening to music
- Writing for enjoyment.
- Listening to a good podcast
- Drinking my green smoothies
- Taking nice long bath and even napping while soaking
- Crocheting
- Being home alone
- Going to natural health and living events
- Eating out and taking in a moving by myself
- Playing Mah Jong
- Dancing
- Hanging out with my girls in LA. I am going there for my 40th birthday - ALONE!
- Taking Brehane to hang out for the day
- Laughing with my husband
As you can see most of the things that I enjoy are quite simple. I am not an extravagant.
Just about everything I enjoy doing allows me to listen to music, an audio book, or podcast and I recently received a cool new toy that I won from Kelly McCausey over at Moms Talk Radio. A While back I won an 8 gig Pink Nano Ipod and after a few mishaps and slow delivery, I finally got my new toy.
Now I can enjoy a few of my favorite things while I listen to a few more of my favorite things.
What are some of your favorite toys and things to do?

What an awesome post. I am guilty of not “nurturing” myself enough. Thanks for reminding me to take the time for “me”. I enjoy singing, watching movies, and chatting with my gal pals.

LaTara,
We share a lot of likes. I enjoy crocheting too. Haven’t done anything in a while. I started back doing ceramics. I love it and the best part I take my kids and they fell in love too even the 19mth old.
Enjoy your IPOD. I broke my mp3 and was lost for two months trying to figure out what to get. I bought a Sansa 6g so for I like it. I look forward to putting books on it.
I’m learning to do more for me. I think we get so caught up being Mama, wife, worker, caregiver, blog hostess we forget about ME.
