This Mother’s Day, do something that takes care of you, mama! I show you my favorite ways to pamper yourself and focus on self care.

Happy Mother’s Day to You!

I remember one of my first Mother’s Days, my husband’s gift to me was watching our toddler so I could do whatever I wanted. I felt guilty at first for not spending the holiday with my son, but the physical and mental break helped me reset and refocus on what it meant to parent well.

It’s ok to need a breather, to take a break from each other every once in a while–that’s why I recommend date nights!

You are not failing if you need a break from your kids. You are human. I want to remind you that you are the exact mama your kids need. And you’re doing great. Happy Mother’s Day to all you mamas!

4 Ways to Pamper Yourself this Mother’s Day

This Mother’s Day, take a minute for yourself! Here are my favorite ways to unwind when I need some alone time:

1. Spa Day

How can you pamper yourself so that you feel refreshed? For example, I love the way fresh nail polish or a new hairstyle makes me feel! Sometimes I need something comfy to wear like a cute T-shirt. However, my favorite way to unwind is a nice bubble bath and a book! Make a list and plan out your own spa day.

2. Retail Therapy

You may like getting out to the home decor store or buying a new set of clothes, but for me, it’s all about the books. Many of us get gift cards for Mother’s Day, so why not make it a day and take your time to enjoy a place you love to shop?

3. Therapeutic Writing

The practice of regular journaling is extremely beneficial to your health, so take the opportunity to get a new notebook and start this therapeutic writing practice today!

4. Spiritual Retreat

I’ve been fortunate to have time to myself now that the kids are back in school, and many times I find I enjoy a quiet house where I can mentally reset my mind. I’ve learned quite a bit about the benefits of meditation over the years, and of course winding down with a warm bath helps calm my nerves. But the thing that helps the most is when I get out my Bible and pray over the Psalms, journal my thoughts, or set some new spiritual goals.

The day to day busyness causes me to put a lot of this on the back burner, and oftentimes I need a reset on my spiritual life—a reminder that prayer and study is vital to my wellbeing, not just another thing on my to-do list.
