Default Moms Need Me Time

Moms are so busy with being a mom; they forget to take out time for
themselves. Rest and Relaxation are two things for sure a mom needs to
make sure they put into their daily schedule. This not only
rejuvenates a mom, but also makes for a saner mom.

You know for yourself, if a mom is angry, upset, or tired, then the
whole house is all in frenzy. Moms are for the most part in charge of
making the house go smooth. We are either changing diapers, cooking
meals, helping with homework, or spending mommy and me time with our
children.

We are all about everyone else, so we must make sure to be all about
us for at least 30 minutes a day.

What techniques can I do to help me give some me time?

1) Go in a quiet room and read a book or magazine.
2) Late evening, take a quiet walk in your subdivision or
neighborhood.
3) Relax in your bathtub with bubble bath and votive candles lit all
around the bathtub or Jacuzzi tub.
4) Work on a hobby like sewing or scrap booking.
5) Go shopping for yourself or get a manicure/pedicure.
6) Sit out on your porch swing and just collect your thoughts for the
day.
7) Watch a favorite sitcom or movie on TV after the kids go to bed.
8) Call up a friend and have a nice adult conversation without kids
interrupting you.
9) Write in a journal to get thoughts off your mind and clear your
head for the next day.
10) Divulge in your favorite food and not feel guilty about it.

These are just some ideas to get you started on making it routine to
take out some
