When was the last time you had “me-time” and how did you spend that time?
 
To be completely honest, since the birth of my son, I haven’t had as much “me-time” as I probably should have. Motherhood has been a beautiful experience for me, so when I was on maternity leave I knew my time at home with my son would be limited, so I tried to soak in every moment with him. Needless to say, I almost never left his side! However, returning to work has given me more perspective. I realize now, how important it is to set time aside for yourself, even something as little as going for a coffee with a friend and having an adult conversation goes a long way!
 
What are some of your favourite ways to practice self-care?
 
Nothing beats a hot bath at the end of a long day with a good book and perhaps a glass of wine.
 
What advice would you give to mamas struggling to create “me-time”? How do you make time in your schedule for yourself?
 
Being a busy working mom it’s hard to find time for yourself, but lately I’ve been making a conscious effort to do more for myself. This week I will be starting a photography course – which is something I’ve always wanted to do. My best advice to other mamas, is to accept help. Take advantage of family and friends who offer to babysit. I always struggled with letting others help but at a certain point you just have to let go. It’s important to take time for yourself and mentally refuel.
