It’s going to be a GREAT week!
I know this because I’ve declared it RELAX WEEK. Yes, I still have to work, but I’m going to do one nice thing for myself every single day to help me relax. This morning I made time to put on a face mask and sent out e-mails to some old friends. It was very relaxing and put me in a good mood. 
Breakfast was uplifting, too!
A whole wheat waffle with a sliced banana, blueberries, and Oikos Greek yogurt.
Plus, a generous dribble of maple syrup!
That, my friends, is what we foodies refer to as "food porn." YUM!
The Monday notes are posted! Here’s my favorite of the day:

Relax week is such a good idea!! What's on the agenda? Manicure? Naps? Dessert?
I'm looking forward to reading!
i think relax week sounds like a great thing
love the waffle, and I love that you gave the older woman your umbrella this weekend. That brought tears to my eyes. There are so many small things we can do each day to make someone else's day better and I love that Operation Beautiful is bringing this out in so many people.
Such a great idea Caitlin, YOU DESERVE IT!!
hooray for relax week!!!
Yay for relax week! I need one as well!
Ah! I love announcing on Monday's that this week is a week to LET GO and rejuevate. I have a hard time doing that. What an inspiring post!
Relax Week sounds fab and you are very deserving with how much you WORK! And that breakfast looks just lovely!!
Hey Caitlin- Your breakfasts always look so yummy! I was wondering if you had any good healthy and filling ideas for breakfasts on the go. I have to be at work at 7 am and it's hard for me to sit down and make a meal. Thanks! -Jocelyn
Also, check out my new nutrition/wellness blog : )
jocelyn – i like wraps filled with PB and a banana! That's the ultimate on the go brekkie!
Yay, good for you! Take care of yourself!
ohh i just adore operation beautiful!
Can't wait to see what other relaxing ideas you come up with throughout the week. I love face masks, they always make me feel so pampered!
You must have read the same magazine I did! It was either Shape or Body + Soul that suggested taking an "off" week every so often and doing something nice for yourself the whole week. Sounds like a great idea. Enjoy!
I love all your pics of food and it gives me great ideas. I have to try that greek yogurt for sure.
I was at Women of Faith over the weekend, that was so inspiring for all women it reminded me of you
Enjoy your day off!
Serious food porn, you're right! Mmm waffles!
Yummy waffle!
