Once in a while, I go out and treat myself with a massage or foot spa or a trip to the bookstore. Even if I'm a mother, I still make it a point to spend some alone time, to keep me sane at the very least :)) Sure, my life revolves around my family now but there's no harm in giving myself some quiet time too, right? How about you myLotters? How do you pamper yourself?

Hi ayeeesha, giving time to pamper oneself is very important to mothers more so if you're a stay-at-home mom that works from home. I'm a mother too and I believe that in order to take care of our family we should take care of ourselves first. To answer your question - I pamper myself once a month by going to the gym with my sister, she has a platinum membership at Fitness First and she can bring a guest every weekends so I make it a point to have at least 1 Sunday to go with her and get that VIP treatment at the gym with all the sauna, free coffee, internet, etc..

I agree with you. Mothers should not forget to take care of themselves too :) Wow, my mom is also a member of Fitness First. Maybe when I'm not too busy, I'll ask her if I can tag along. I want to get that VIP treatment too :)

Oh, I know. Pampering ourselves every now and then is crucial, just to be happy and not to get burnt out and crazy in today's world. I love trips to the bookstores, or theatre days, or just going out to shop for a nice nail polish or even a pack of nice chips as a reward :).

Tht's nice to hear dorrofee! And I agree, I don't want to be burned out that's why I really make it a point to make time for myself :)

I believe that a mother like us should reward herself. A time for herself for relaxing or I call it ME time. Ofcourse there is no harm in giving yourself quiet time. I hope you get it often. I myself reward myself a time for myself too.

I make time for myself at least once a month. It feels good to take a break for a few hours once in a while.
