As with most of us, not nearly enough. My self care has been on the back burner for far too long due to others needs. I am making a appointment with myself this week for a home gel mani and facial!

I started doing my daily workouts again, and let me tell you with 2 kids (2.5yrs & 2mo) this is a luxury. And indulging on about an hour of Instagram at night after everyone’s asleep! I adore my babies and this time just reminds me that I have all day for love and okay and snuggles, but sometimes mama just needs a little zoning out stres free time 💕

Love this! A couple things I’m loving for self care are going to sleep at a decent hour – no phone between getting ready and laying in bed is important too. For too long I had a bad habit of going to bed late and feeling not rested so I’m happy to have made the effort to change it. Also, I do face masks at least two times a week. Xo

I’m a new mom from a newly adopted 3 year old daughter. I’m overwhelmed all the time and the biggest rest for me is just having some mommy/daughter bonding time. We are getting our nails done this weekend and she couldn’t be more excited. Always makes me know whatever the challenge, she’s worth it.

As a new Mom of a 12 week old, I have a new appreciation for eating meals at a relaxed pace and drinking my coffee while it’s still hot! I’ve been meditating for at least a few minutes each day while my little one naps which helps bring a sense of calm.

In a season where sleep is cherished, it can be hard to wake up early, but when I can get up before the rest of my house and have a cup of coffee, fill out my gratitude/prayer journals and do a devo. Those are mornings I feel like I can take on the world. Maybe I’ll have another one of those some day soon ☺️

I normally reserve the time after the kids go to bed for me. Even if that means not doing a thing but watching my favorite show. I find it makes me a much better momma!

Going to the gym by myself a few times a week while my husband watches my son is so important for my wellbeing.

intentionally enjoying nature while on a dog walk- even if it’s just appreciating the crunchy leaves while taking him on a quick potty break!

I have a heated blanket only on my side of the bed. My husband sleeps hot, but I am perpetually cold. I turn it on an hour before bed and the sheets are so warm when I get in. Turn off the blanket for the rest of the night and sleep like a baby.

Every so often my husband and son go out to eat and I stay home and take a long bath with a bath bomb.

Run. I may have gotten slower post baby but I really appreciate my time to myself and am so thankful for my husband who supports my me-time.

I take long walks and cook – both relax me and make me feel content. I’m currently expecting my first baby and I have come to appreciate the calm downtime at home – I used to always have to be active and doing something, so it’s quite a change of pace for me, but I’m wholeheartedly embracing it.

I just ended my year-long maternity leave and entering the “working mama” transition phase. Days have been hectic (almost as hectic as having a newborn baby all over again), but I do find space for the little things. Brewing my cup of coffee in the morning before my husband and baby wake up. Getting to dim the lights and shut my office door so I can pump and listen to piano music. And of course, the moment when I get to pick up my son and take him home.

I don’t have a lot of time or space to take care of myself these days but I try to take pleasure and peace in the small things – enjoying one quite sip of cinnamon tea while I start my day, laying down with my 5 month old to nurse him to sleep or rocking out to a good tune in my 5′ commute to work. Every little bit counts. ❤️

Little things I do for myself include making a list of things I need to do, picking out an outfit for the next day, small things like that! I have a new appreciation for my new little fan that blows cool air in front of me while I lay in bed! Hope I win! Thanks for the chance!

I shut myself in our office and either admire the things I’ve built in there, sit quietly and daydream/think about new projects, or work on a creative project. If it is nice enough out I’ll take at least 10 minutes to work on my current garage project or garden project.

stretch in bed before getting up!

I splurged on a Kindle Fire. It’s backlit, so I can read under the covers after everyone else has gone to sleep. It’s just as much fun as when I was a little kid with a book and a flashlight. The sleep deprivation is worth it — it’s about the only “me” time I get 🙂

I have a new appreciation for having luxurious leisure time because it’s such a rarity these days (whether that’s reading before bed, watching a TV show by myself, going shopping by myself, etc.). But one of the things I do for myself is I get up early on Saturday mornings and go to a class I like at the gym, then to the farmers market, and to a bakery to get some coffee and breakfast treats to take home. It’s so nice!

Time with my partner alone. Honestly, even if we are both home all day it becomes all about the baby and no time for us. Trying to get alone time with my husband and doing some things we love have been the goal. Like bubble bath, cooking, having a morning coffee together. Awesome promotion! I am so excited!

On Sunday mornings I get up early and leave the house to grab a cup of tea.
