Staycation for Mom!

How to have relaxing day amidst the craziness of spring!

Here at Bows & Babes we understand that the spring is busy busy busy! However, everyone needs to take a little “me time” every once in awhile, it keeps us sane. Whether you have time for a whole day or just a few hours,I have some suggestions that can help you kick back and relax.

First things first, try to get a head start on future tasks, whether this is finishing up some emails or signing all those field trip forms. This will help ease your mind of all the things you have to accomplish when you come back to reality. Once you have checked off your todo list you can really get started on having your perfect pampering day!

1. Nice Bath- I suggest grabbing that book you can’t stop obsessing over or some drama filled magazines and starting a bath. Make sure to add your newest bath bomb or some bath salts to help create a soothing atmosphere.

2. Nails- Whether this entails an at-home mani pedi or going to the nearest salon, nothing makes you feel refreshed and energized like a bright new color on your nails! What better way to welcome the warm weather we’ve been getting?

3. Get Outside- Another thing I like to do is take some time to enjoy this lovely spring weather. I suggest making a nice cup of tea and grabbing a blanket for those chillier days and picking a spot out on my porch. This way you can get the fresh air while still staying cozy with your hot tea and your fuzzy blanket.

4. Treat Yourself- For me, this means getting to try some sweets I’ve been trying to avoid, but this can mean going out and buying some new accessories or having lunch at your favorite restaurant!

I hope that these tips and tricks help you have a relaxing staycation! As moms we naturally have a lot going on and we can forget that we deserve a free day and the chance to give a little attention to ourselves, it’s necessary!
