Loving mommy Time

Last week I went out and finally got some tanning minutes, something that I have been talking about doing since the fall of last year! I figured that I loved the peace and quiet of it a couple of years ago before having Vanessa so it would be the perfect thing for me to do to get some mommy time.

As soon as I got in the bed and put my head phones in, I felt this feeling of relaxation come over me =) It was like the stress of the day and the week just melted away. 

I may not go that long, but being locked in a room for 15 minutes, no baby screaming, no mess to clean up, being all alone really does help me gather my thoughts, and slowly make me feel better about who I am, and with that being said it makes me a better mom to Vanessa.

I have learned over the past little while that mommy time is super important because it can help keep any mom sane, and gives her time to do something that she enjoys doing. =) 

I am also looking forward to being able to get out and go rollerblading which is another thing that I LOVE doing, and this is one that I will share with Vanessa this summer. Jogging stroller, and my roller blades will make for an awesome day! =)

Till we talk next, enjoy this photo that always makes me smile!

Mommy Time?

With it being so crazy in my house the past few weeks Mommy time isn't something that I get the luxury of, so when I do get it I take full advantage of it! Don't get me wrong I do get my 5 minute showers everyday, and in that time I shower, and get dressed, brush my teeth and walking back out the bathroom to get my daughter from her bed, so does that count as mommy time? I personally don't think so. =( 

And now that naps are somewhat existent in my house I don't get the hour or 2 that I used to get in the afternoon. So between 9am and 9pm, mommy doesn't get anytime for herself. And when I do put Vanessa down for the night, I get started on cleaning up toys, or putting laundry away, or finishing the dishes and then by this time I will sit for a little work on some orders and than before I know it, I am  looking at almost 11pm and am ready for bed the next day! 

So I decided that last night I was not going to finish the few dishes, or clean up the toys because they would just be on the floor again today but go lock myself in my room, and RELAX.. that's right, this mommy got to relax! I put my feet up with a glass of wine, and watched TV, nothing really interesting on to watch but it was still nice to watch something other than cartoons that I have seen 50 times now. 

Today I told my hubby that we needed to go get tanning minutes because I will then know that this mommy will get mommy times a couple times a week, and come out with a pretty good tan. And with the weather getting nice maybe even go for walks and get some fresh air, and maybe even trow my daughter in the jogging stroller and go rollerblading. 

I guess the only way that any mommy can get mommy time I have learned is if you put and effort and make time. Mommy time doesn't come on its own, you have to make money time, if the dishes don't get put away or the laundry put away... oh well you can do it the next day, take that time and relax, because you do need it! 

Till we talk again <3 to all

Super busy

These past few days I have been so busy the days seem to be becoming one loooonnnng day! I have been working on new items for my business, Mommy Made (www.facebook.com/mommymade10). I have making new oven mitts & pot holders for that little girl that loves to be like mommy, like my daughter! I have also been making new bibs! I now have a huge plastic container full... hopefully start selling more and more soon. My daughter is starting to think that they are ALL hers! I have also been working on a brand new secret item, I am looking forward to finishing it and showing it off! 

Other than working hard I have been enjoying time with my daughter playing outside now that the weather in Calgary has become warmer. I am so happy to finally be able to take her outside and get some fresh air without having to worrry about her freezing. I have found with taking her outside she is sleeping better at night =) I still can't wait for summer, it should be filled with lots of fun things, going rollerblading, playing at park, water parks, stampede and OF COURSE my daughters birthday!

Well back to work, and cleaning of the house, and dishes! =) Than off to the Flames game with my brother! =) 

I leave you with this cute picture of my big girl that always makes me smile!
