When was the last time you had “me-time” and how did you spend that time?
I believe it was a few days ago! I snuck down to the basement to sit on the couch and do some online shopping.
What are some of your favourite ways to practice self care?
I love to meditate. To run. To bake. To write. To shop.
What advice would you give to mamas struggling to create “me-time”? How do you make time in your schedule for yourself?
This is hard, because I honestly struggle creating my OWN “me-time”! But I would say to remember that your mental health comes first. If mama ain’t taking care of herself, she won’t be able to take care of everyone else! I’m learning that in very real and hard ways for myself, so I should honestly make better effort in prioritizing “me-time”!
I make time in my schedule for myself by coordinating schedules with my husband. If I know that he is on board, it is alot easier to love myself.

When was the last time you had “me-time” and how did you spend that time?
Me-time these days looks a little different. Usually me-time would consist of my favorite workout, or some self-care, a cup of coffee by myself, a massage, or whatever else I feel like I need at the moment to care of myself. These days, me-time looks like sitting in the backyard with a glass of wine, or going for a quick run while the kids are with my husband. The last time I had me-time was yesterday - I went for a quick one mile run just to get out of the house and have a few minutes solo.
What are some of your favourite ways to practice self care?
Some of my favorite ways to practice self-care are reading, getting a manicure and pedicure, or getting a massage.
What advice would you give to mamas struggling to create “me-time”? How do you make time in your schedule for yourself?
It’s not always easy to find the time to take care of ourselves, but even if it means getting it done during nap time or after the kids are asleep, it’s important to make time for it. I like to schedule it in advance and put it on my calendar, so that I don’t skip out on it.
