5 Ways I Fit in Self-Care as a Mom

Self-care as a mom can feel like an impossible task. But I’ve learned that it doesn’t have to be extravagant to be meaningful. Take this face mask, for instance. It’s my way of carving out 10 minutes for myself.

You see, self-care is essential.

Why?

Because as moms we give so much of ourselves to others every single day – but we often forget to refill our own cups.

Is our country safe enough for our children?

Over the past several days, I have gone about my days with a pit in my stomach. An anxious, sick feeling. It hasn’t left and if I stop and think too much about it, tears form in my eyes. At my daughter’s last day of school, on my morning walk, when I hugged a friend, when I kissed my children goodnight. The pit in my stomach and tears are still there. And they will not be leaving anytime soon.

Banana Smash Cake for Baby

I decided to go with a banana cake this year. Because George LOVES bananas! And this is sweetened with maple syrup and applesauce. I then used my go-to whipped cream frosting because it’s light and fun, and relatively easy to whip up the cream into a frosting! It’s sweetened with maple syrup.
