Do you have a minute? Then turn on this video right now. Sit back and relax. Image yourself being at the beach with nothing to do and listen to the crashing waves. You will feel refreshed, your mind will have uncluttered a bit and you might have the answer to that burning question. Go ahead. Do it. It only takes a minute. But you can do it as often as you wish!
Since Father’s Day is a big day for you Mother’s too, you should try to have fun yourself. It’s a great thing to pamper your mate, but do something that you enjoy, too. That way you get to enjoy the day, too. After all you had kids because you enjoyed each other. During those especially naughty times…
Have you ever wondered what has happened to you? Where you are, where you’ve ended up? Remember to put the pieces together. You are a whole woman, with all your wishes, wants and needs. Only when you’re the whole picture, the true you, can you truly be there for others. So remember to do something for yourself today! What is it you would most like to do today? Take a bath? Take a walk alone in the park? Go and see a movie? Skip making dinner and just read a book?
Learn from your kid that the smell,sound and sight from the ocean can calm anybody down. A kid who usually runs around 24/7 finds himself sitting still and enjoying the sight of the ocean. It can’t get any better than that. So take your child to a relaxing place and you’ll end up relaxing yourself. What a concept! So think about it and let us know. What’s the most relaxing place you know, where you know you can take your child with you?
Now there is a way to be super naughty. Get away for a few days even if you think you don’t have time. Take a mini vacation and bring your work with you. That is, if your employer allows it. In this day and age with cell phones, internet, skype and what else is out there, we really can take the family and just leave. For a few days the world will still turn. And what a feeling! You know it once you’re on your balcony overlooking a beautiful lake, while you work away.
To all the overworked stressed out mothers! Naughty Mommy wishes you the best Mother’s Day ever. Isn’t it interesting that on Mother’s Day moms are sometimes more stressed out than ever? We rush to see our own mother, then see our in-laws and or other family. Or we struggle to find a nice restaurant to go and end up in a overcrowded place where the wait is an hour to even get a table. Then there’s the last minute rush to find the perfect gift for all you other mother friends. Remember mother’s day is for you. So this Mother’s Day why don’t you just say. I want to stay home, take a nice hot bath , and have my kids and husband wait on me. Isn’t that what we really want? What did you do on Mother’s Day?
Get yourself a PedEgg. It’s a very cool foot file that really files away all the callous and dry skin. Naughty Mommy should send hubby for a Sunday nap with the kids and start filing away.
After getting rid of all the dead skin use plenty of Naughty Mommy Deluxe Hand & Body Cream and let it all soak in. The sinfully rich cream and shea butter will make your skin feel like caressable silk. You’ll think you’ve been to a Pedicurist and it’s so relaxing. You’ll absolutely love it.
Don’t forget to see your friends on a regular basis. Call one of them up or send her an email and set a date to meet. To really connect and talk about everything you might even consider hiring a babysitter and just meet the two of you. Remember what you used to do before you had children. You connected, poured your heart out or just chatted away. Having a girlfriend is like having a therapist. Women are good for each other. They listen to each other and help when help is needed. So remember to call, or better yet call right now. When was the list time you called your friend?
Remember your life before kids? Do you catch yourself thinking what on earth you were doing all day long because you are so much more efficient now? Life before multitasking was definitely more relaxed. Now we play with Play-Doh with one hand, while on the phone with the gas company and hubby asking where the butter is (of course in front of his eyes), and simultaneously stirring the spaghetti sauce. While we marvel at our new life skills we also feel the constant stress. So remember once in a while to just enjoy the moment. Do one thing at a time and take off some of the pressure. There is always tomorrow.
