Wordful Wednesday-A Little Pampering

Last Christmas my husband gave me a gift certificate to The Heartland Spa, located south of Chicago. It is listed as one of the top ten destination spas in the U.S. focusing on health and fitness. I never got to use the gift because I was always too busy with work, and since staying home with our children I've had no one to watch the kids for me to get away. Until last week! Rich had a day that he was able to watch the kiddos and luckily I was able to fit into their schedule for the day....the last day before they closed for the holiday season....and before my certificate expired. It was the best day! I wasn't feeling great going into it, and had to drive over an hour to get there, but I left refreshed and alive.

It used to be a dairy farm. In reading some of the material while there, a Chicago doctor had the farm as a getaway on the weekends. When it was sold, the buildings were rennovated to become the Spa that it is today. Very quaint. Very unpretentious. And sitting in the middle of farmland reminded me of the simple beauties in life.

Thanks, honey, for this day of pampering. You can regift this anytime you like!
