Relaxation. Mommy Time. Stress-relief. Pampering. Escape. Whatever you call it, moms of multiples NEED it.

And as difficult as it may be to find time in our über busy lives, we really should carve out a bit of time for ourselves…even if it’s just 15 minutes or so when the kids are napping or having some quality time with Daddy.

So, what to do with this time? Here are a few ideas that make me smile. Feel free to share some of your own!

• Manicure & Pedicure. If you can’t afford a spa, call a friend to come enjoy mani/pedi time with you…a bring your own polish party!
• Light some aromatherapy candles and spend some time in a warm bubble bath.
• Find a quiet place to sit and enjoy a favorite book or magazine.
• Go for a walk.
• Pray for yourself. No, this doesn’t make you horribly selfish.
• Write a letter to a friend.
• Stretch out on the couch while eating bon-bons and watching soap operas. (I’m kidding, folks. Just seeing if you’re paying attention. )

You do a wonderful job of taking care of your multiple blessings. Don’t forget to take care of Mommy, too.

You are special!
