Entries we thoroughly enjoyed:
"I believe your number one priority should be to nap, because if you are well-rested you feel better, look better, and are able to cope better with the excitement (or stress)that each day brings. Second you need to drink lots of water. You can't let yourself get dehydrated, especially if breastfeeding - it will make both mom and baby very cranky. Make time to shower every day, and put your make-up on, no matter how tired you are or even if you are not leaving the house. Last but most importantly, take the time to look at your baby every day and see how beautiful they are and realize that it is because of you." - Janet B., Westville, Nova Scotia (Canada).
"I am a stay at home mom who has had two children within two years. Though daily self care can be a struggle at times, I make meaningful adult interaction a daily priority. This ranges from playdates, to coffee with friends or date night with my husband. I am an inquisitive person by nature and these get togethers keep me informed of what is going on "out there". I get a chance to think and assert my opinions on subjects that may not necessarily come up daily with my 2 year old and 9 month old. I need these conversations to keep me whole and fulfilled as a human being, not only as a mom. Talking about books or foreign issues, with just a side of potty training or strategies to get food into my picky eater, does wonders for my soul.
Don't get me wrong, yoga class and a regular massage makes me feel like a million bucks. A large coffee and a blow out for my unruly hair is an instant pick me up. That's all true, but rehashing those funny and precious daily moments that I share with my children, over a glass of wine with a friend or my husband, are just as sweet." - Anna S., Halifax, Nova Scotia (Canada).
We will be bringing you more entries in the days and weeks to come!
