Today (8th March) is International Women’s Day! Yay!
It’s a Sunday so it’s been a nice day to spend with the family and we all went swimming followed by dinner out where I had a cheesecake! (My fave)!
I have been thinking a lot about women this weekend (!) because yesterday I was at a women’s empowerment day in York which celebrated womens lives, helped us to see how we could turn the things around in life that aren’t helping us and generally how to get the life you want! It was a personal development day and there was some real energy in the room. There was a stage with lights and sound, then a band came on and played some toe tapping tunes including one of my favourites “Here come the girls”.
After the band were two keynote speakers and both of them had me in tears! They were very inspirational women with great messages about owning your situation and proactively doing something about it. I’m of this opinion anyway so it was nice to be in the company of like-minded women!
We all got a goody bag with some beauty freebies and there were chocolate truffles and sparkling pear and grape juice on tap throughout! At the end of the day they broke out the bubbly and the ‘After Eight’ mints and we all had a cheeky sip to finish the event before heading home. I loved meeting some fantastic women and having a day that was just for me!
I came home to remind my hubby that it’s Mothers Day in 2 weeks and that I want our kids (ie: him!) to get me a Flip Camcorder Tripod so I can take steady video instead of the wobble I currently get when recording! Our oldest child is a 6 year old so he’ll have to buy the prezzie with his credit card online. She doesn’t know how to do this yet but I’m sure it won’t be long till she does. She can already turn on the laptop, log in and open up the internet browser and get it onto the Playhouse Disney website! We’ll have to watch out when she starts taking an interest in shopping websites rather than just cartoon ones!
