Making Time for Mom

I have to admit i'm terrible at this. I always take care of the needs of others first and always think if there's any time left over i'll grab a little bit for me. But guess what? There is no such thing as left over time... things are always too hectic.

So I've decided I need to make time for myself. Yesterday my husband put the kids to bed while I had a nice long bath...ahh heaven. And this morning I finally made time to get up and go for an early morning run (something I've been neglecting far too long).

And you know what, I feel much better... so from now on I'm going to make time for myself at least three days a week just to unwind and be me. You should try it too, it's very liberating :)

You've got three young ones...it must be tough, but I'm glad you're taking time for yourself. Every mama needs to do that and good for you on the goal of 3 times per week. I thought you'd say once per week or something like that, but you need rejuvination as much as you can!

Well 3 times a week because I'm going to get out and do some regular exercise

I don't need to do anything fancy as long as I get some "me" time... Although a pedicure here and there would be nice :-)

Congrats to you Mila. Yes you do deserve it.

My "me time" is every night when the girls go to bed. hehe.

Good for you :)

It's hard with little ones to get time, but even time for a bath or run is time well spent!

I get more than some because my hubby really helps out a lot --- I get me time everyday. :) And it's really needed. lol
