Seriously, how often do you take the time to really focus on YOU and your “self?” This is a tough question for moms to answer for a variety of reasons. We’re wearing so many hats so much of the time that we’re lost in the shuffle.

This is a topic worth writing about repeatedly because moms need constant reminders of one simple fact: YOU DO MATTER.


Strange notion, right? I know, I feel the same way. The idea of doing something for myself seems incredibly selfish, particularly after working all week long. Shouldn’t I be serving my family’s needs on a day off? Shouldn’t I be cleaning?

The fact remains, though, that I need to spend more time on self-care. I’ve taken the time to realize this. Reading, writing, creating pieces of art shouldn’t feel like something I have to do in secret. I should be able to explore my hobbies boldly, and without the feeling of guilt.
