I interrupt your daily recipe inspiration for a much needed guide on “How To Get A Me Moment Anywhere.”
Let’s get real for a second. Being a mom to 4 kids and a full time work-at-home mom is no joke.
I’m on all. the. time.
I’m guessing you know the feeling.
Between making breakfast, getting kids ready for school, work, making snacks for hungry kids, helping with homework, more work, making dinner (do these kids ever stop wanting food?!), when do you get time for yourself? It’s so important to take even just a small moment to breathe and unwind.
It can help bring clarity to your day, leaving you relaxed and recharged.
So how do you relax?
That’s the million dollar question!
My favorite way to get a little me-time is to let the kids play in the yard while I quietly sit on my porch swing and enjoy a cold and crisp Canada Dry® Ginger Ale along with a little snack.
I love browsing Pinterest on my phone, or catching up on my favorite magazines while I sip, sit and relax. It doesn’t have to be a long time, just a 5 minute break is all it takes. Though I won’t be upset if I get 30. 😉
Don’t have a porch swing? No problem! Here are some super easy ways to get in your #MeMoment:
- Take the kids to the park and sit on the bench while they play
- Sneak away to the other room while the kids are watching a show
- Get a baby sitter or take the kids to a friend’s house
- Turn off the TV, open the window and enjoy the breeze
- Go for a kid-free drive across town

This may sound weird, but I like to unwind and relax by running. Its my time of the day to be alone with my thoughts and prepare myself for the day. My wife can attest that if I miss a run everyone knows because I’m a bit more edgy and uptight! Its kind of my mental medicine!

I try to take a few minutes each morning to just slow down and savor my coffee before the craziness of the day. It really helps my day if I get those few moments to myself to prepare myself mentally!

I like to have a quiet moment to myself in the morning before my son wakes up for school. The house is still and I sit in my front room with the lights off and enjoy my coffee. It’s peaceful before the rush of the day.

Reading a good mystery novel, sipping a mug of hot chocolate, in the peaceful space of my bedroom or the backyard deck.

Since I have fibromyalgia and need to rest, I relax by curling up on the couch with my fur baby and taking a short nap. Afterwards, an ice cold Canada Dry ginger ale calms my acid reflux and refreshes me to continue with my daily chores.
