Two minutes with … Kayla Giacalone, mama to Eliana, aged 5, Brayden, aged 3 and Adelise, 9 months

When was the last time you had “me-time” and how did you spend that time?

To be honest, “me time” is hard to come by as a nursing mom. It was probably a month ago when I went to the salon to get my hair done. I actually really love being with my kids all day, every day, so I definitely tend to stick to activities that include them. Don’t get me wrong - I love time to breathe and think on my own…but being a mom is so much a part of my being that it’s just my normal. :) 

What are some of your favourite ways to practice self care?

I feel refreshed just walking through Target alone with a Starbucks in hand. I also love pedicures! 

What advice would you give to mamas struggling to create “me-time”? How do you make time in your schedule for yourself?

My advice would be just do what works for you. Some moms need a lot of me time and some moms only need a little. Neither is wrong. We all “mom” differently and that’s the great part of motherhood - we have the ability to do what is best for our own families. Usually my me time happens so sporadically - it’s not really scheduled….just kinda happens last minute when it works. Having three kids is a big job!
