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

I found you and thought we must have been separated at birth. I also am a mom of 4. a work-at-home-mom, D.I.Y business owner and need to know how to take a break. I had a She Shed built in the back yard for my “ME” time. I use it to relax, escape my busy life and create art. So i did all this just so I would have a space to create. And be a better mom, turns out some people liked my shed so I got featured on the cover of a She Shed Book. check it out here. http://amzn.to/2nG4orx . I have been so blessed by the space to get away, right in my backyard.
