Relaxation?

I know, I know, as a mom this word is more of a fantasy than a reality. This weekend my daughter was gone and my son was distracted my Mickey Mouse so I had about an hour to myself. I got in a bath 

and prepared for a very short relaxation time. I used some Epsom salt and relaxing bubble bath. It was amazing floating in the water listening to music 😊 

My tips for busy Mama's with very little time to themselves;

1. Make the most of the time you get. Leave your phone in the room, grab a book, or listen to some music.

2. Find an area that makes you feel the most calm, for me it's the bath but it could be your bed, reading nook, backyard, anywhere that makes you feel calm.

3. If your taking a bath? Find luxury bath items that will help you sloth your muscles and relieve stress. My favorite is 

5. Make sure you clear your mind of any to-do list or problems that you are having. You just can't relax with all this on your mind.

6. Try one of those new adult coloring books. I go into a trance when I color lol so these are good for me! I found some good ones at Powell's world of books but Amazon has a ton of them as well.

I hope this helps some of you fellow Mama bears get some much needed relaxation! 

See you tomorrow for talk about toddler morning/bedtime routines 😬
