  1. 0:00Today I'm reminding myself to tuck in some me time

    Today I'm reminding myself to tuck in a little me time in between all of the chaos. Maybe that means actually hydrating like a grownup or fueling myself with a meal. What tiny things are you doing for yourself today? Drop it below.

A busy day ahead. Work to do, errands to run, snow to shovel. Because clearly winter isn't taking my hints. And a kiddo to support through all of the routines that help make him thrive. All things that I love doing, but also things that will take up every ounce of energy that I have if I'm not careful. So today I'm reminding myself to tuck in a little me time in between all of the chaos. Maybe that means actually hydrating like a grownup or fueling myself with a meal that isn't just the leftovers that my kid rejected.

Or dare I dream, washing my face and putting moisturizer on before I'm half asleep and horizontal. You know, self care doesn't always look like spa days and weekend retreats. Sometimes it's Vaseline on your lips or a glass of water between back to back tasks. Sometimes it's five minutes sitting still before the next round of mom, can you so tell me, what tiny things are you doing for yourself today? Even when you're doing a million things for everyone else? Drop it below so we can cheer each other on.
