Whoa, this was amazing to find. My first blog conference is coming up in a week or so and my nerves were already shot and I hadn’t even packed. Thank you for this. Seriously.

Ah…you. I’m thankful for the same things, and for the chance to get to know you. I’m the better for it. xo

That was great Jen. I’m enjoying a blogging afternoon at home, too. My teenagers were very excited the Easter bunny didn’t forget them. It was actually nice not to travel this year

Sleep. I am so stingy with myself and sleep. I talk myself into the same problem night after night. Kids in bed, dishwasher on, bits and bops tackled (mostly)….oh look at that, it’s 10PM and time to START “my” night – YAWN!

You seem to have described me exactly including reaching for the coffee and something sweet. I guess it’s what most moms do. Always looking after everyone else and leaving ourselves to last. Recently, I’ve also decided to try to take better care of myself. I’ve started with taking vitamins, trying to get to bed by 10:00, cutting down my coffee, and trying to not reach for the easy snack but actually make something better for myself to eat. I finally went to the doctor to have some problems checked out. I figured I better put aside some time for myself. We all have to remember that moms cannot look after their kids if something is wrong with themselves.

I’ve recently developed sensitivities to certain foods so eating “clean” is the ONLY way for me nowadays… which is great because I feel great too. Haven’t been going to the gym as often as I’d like so I need to work on that. I also need more “ME” time – go out alone or with friends, no kids no hubs!

I force myself to work out every day – even if it’s only 10 or 15 minutes. I also do what you do – clean up and putter around while the kids are eating. But that’s mostly because they’re so SLOW and after 45 minutes I’m ready to force the food down their throats so I walk away

When my dear son was born I spent 99% of the first year of his life tending to him and sleeping when I could. I wasn’t doing very much “me” stuff to stay sane and healthy. Just before his first birthday a fellow mama invited me to her boot camp class… It was probably the best thing I ever did. 2-3 days a week I spend an hour doing something I love, that helps me work off stress, frustration and worry while also taking care of myself. It makes me a better mom. Thank you for this post. It’s important to remember that even after children, you still need to find time to spend on you.

I’m so sorry for your loss. And yes, I suspect we won’t look back on the things that kept us busy nearly as much as we’ll look back on the simple things. A bittersweet reminder for you this week. I hope it helps you find small moments of peace and enjoyment to treasure, that you might have otherwise missed. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for this. After loosing a dear friend this week, I understand even more than ever, the enjoyment of simple good things like laughter, road trips and conversation where there are no judgments.

It’s very true that we get caught up in chasing something, that we forget to hold on to and enjoy what is with us already. I often remind myself to just breathe and enjoy moments.
