SUPER MOM!

In today's times a mother is expected not only to carry the child, bare the child and take care of the child but keep a home maintained, organized, clean, and a husband happy and full. I feel like mothers have to be in a million places at once and making sure everyone is happy and healthy. Us super moms ones who stay home or not deserve an award for all that we do. Most bread wining husbands who work all day and come home to a warm meal and a semi tidy house (we all know that with kids your home will never be spotless!) don't always give us the praise we deserve and need.

How many times have you been waken up at 5am. How many times have you spent a whole day in your pj's. How many times have you changed a diaper How many times have you had to watch dora and not your show. How many is two MANY!
Remember that things can wait, don't kill yourself trying to get that last toy picked up or the towels folded, tomorrow will be a new day and a fresh start


We as mothers need to throw in the towel once and a while and let those dads take the rains. We need to start taking care of our selves and our sanity. Below are some things that you can do to keep yourself from going crazy!

1. Ladies Night (once a month at least)

2. Play dates (you get adult convo and kids can play)

3. Take a walk or Jog (by yourself)

4. Grocery Shopping (should ALWAYS be done by yourself)

5. Call a friend (my favorite)

6. Get a babysitter and go on a date w/ hubby

A friend recently told me you cant feel guilty for being a stay at home mom because we work just as hard and need to take care of ourselves to (Thanks Linda)! She was so right, just because we have become moms that dose not mean we have to give up our life, it means we just have to make the time to do something fun for ourselves.



 *I'm sure there are plenty more but that's what i could think of at 11pm! Please leave tips, comments, advise, or stories. Thanks
