I have never appreciated alone time more than I have in the last year. Being a new mother is wonderful but it is also exhausting on many levels. You give so much of yourself every single day and it's very important to recharge your batteries!!
Finding time for yourself maybe difficult, but a "mommy time-out" is a wonderful thing! Doing something like enjoying a cup of coffee while flipping through a magazine for a few minutes, going to get a pedicure, or sitting outside in the sunshine for a bit can help in the best of ways!
I used to be an avid reader! I would read as often as possible and couldn't get enough of suspense novels.. still can't - but I just don't have the time like I used to. Chase usually takes one good nap a day for me (sometimes he naps twice but usually its a one time a day kinda thing!) for about two solid hours. Since the summer time is coming and the weather is warming up, I've made a promise to myself to take a little me time each day. I've made a summer reading list and during nap time, I'm going to attempt to enjoy an iced coffee and a few chapters!
