Say Yes to Self Care for Moms

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #WellYes2018  #CollectiveBias

Each year comes with its ups and downs, its wins and its losses. 2017 was no different in that regard. However, one thing I did learn is that self care is important. In 2018 I am saying yes to self care and saying yes more in general. I’m saying yes to me, which in turn helps other people. You know the saying, if mama ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy? Well that’s hashtag truth.

Self care for moms is important. Take time for you and say yes.

Self Care for Moms is Not Selfish

I think we’re under the misconception that taking care of ourselves is selfish. There’s guilt associated when moms, women, and people put themselves first. That’s not selfish, that’s having the knowledge that in order for you to accomplish tasks and take what life throws at you, you need to be the best you.

In 2017, I added a lot to my plate. Not only was I trying to increase my blog work, but all my children decided they wanted to play sports. How could this be a bad idea? Oh yeah, I have 5 children who all need to be in different places at different times. Between practices and games on the weekends, I was running on low. Do you know how long softball games are? FOREVER! That’s how long.

I also learned to accept help. I rely a lot on my parents, because it takes a village, right? But I had to accept help from friends neighbors and teammates to help transport and shuttle my kids from point A to point B. I was humbled, and I was grateful.

Moments of Yes

That’s why 2018 is my Year of Yes with my Moments of Yes. My Moment of Yes is positivity. For my self-care, I need good mental health to tackle on taking care of 5 children, running a household, working from home, building a business, and taking care of myself physically. In gratitude comes joy, so every day in 2018, I will send a positive message to someone. This may be through a comment on a blog, an email, a message on Facebook, a written note, a letter, a text or whatever I think of.

Taking care of yourself with good eating is great self care for moms. Start with Campbells Well Yes Soups.

I want to invite positivity into my life, and perhaps by bringing a smile to someone else, the ripple effect will happen. More people will know they are loved and hence, there will be more kindness in the world.

This was inspired by Well Yes!® Soups. Well Yes! is a line of soups made with nutritious ingredients, like chicken meat with no antibiotics, sweet potatoes, kale, and quinoa. Well Yes! helps women say yes to deliciously crafted food, so she has what she needs to say yes in the rest of her life. The can’s wrapper has a wonderful, friendly Well Yes! logo on the front that makes me smile and think, YES! What will I say yes to this year?

Have you tried Well Yes! Soups? They're delicious and have helped me to say yes to self care for moms like me.

Saying Yes to Self Care

Here are things I will be saying yes to for my self care.

Yes to eating on the couch and watching TV, because I want to.

Yes to reading more.

Yes to manicures just for fun.

Yes to wiser food choices, like Well Yes! Soup instead of 5 donuts. Well at least once a week.

Yes to putting down my phone.

Yes to more dates with my husband that involve Chris Evans movies.

Yes to counting jumping on the trampoline with my kids as exercise.

Yes to longer showers.

Yes to girlfriend getaways.

Yes to happy.

Spending time with girlfriends is crucial for self care for moms! Try Disneyland, it's the happiest place on earth.

Women, I know it’s hard to put ourselves first (and if it’s not, I salute you). But it’s time. We’re all over this.

    I agree that moms sometimes get caught up in their kids ,jobs and husband and lose sight of what makes them happy and fulfilled. It is great to step back and enjoy life.

    I think that it is very important that mom’s give themselves a little alone time! It make you a better mom, wife and person! Really we all need a little spoiling now and then!

    As a mom I’ve come to the realization that taking time for me is ok. It sounds like you have some great plans for the New Year and I’m sure you earned it.

Instagram post 2195984708504849335_405824995 #ad This year she’s grateful the only tinsel you’ll find is on the tree, not her teeth. On the blog read about how @invisalign treatment has helped my daughter maintain her confidence, enjoy the holidays, and kept me from worrying about injuries from metal braces. We’re so happy at the progress her smile has made so far in 6 months thanks to the most advanced clear aligner system in the world.
When thinking about ho-ho-holiday gifts, don’t discount the gift of Invisalign treatment for your loved ones! Find a doctor near you for a free consultation: http://bit.ly/2JYh8pn

Instagram post 2192595238359148071_405824995 Last night my husband and I got to attend the Spies in Disguise Premiere and Blue Carpet! Every red carpet event is fun, but this one was extra special, because my husband was my date and got a chance to see what I do. He’s always been so supportive of my career, so it was nice to share this with him. Spies in Disguise is a fantastic spy movie for the whole family! It’s funny, is packed full of action, and has a lot of heart. The message behind it is really great!

It’s a beautiful story about sisters, resilience, and being free. I’m thankful for these women who allow me to be myself and love me for it and who can also kill a red carpet 😍 Who’s going to see Frozen 2 this weekend? 🙋🏻‍♀️

Instagram post 2178731750467952949_405824995 Sometimes you gotta snap when they’re not looking and capture them being silly with their friends. It’s church Homecoming tonight, and I love that my daughter chose to wear the dress that I just wore to the Frozen 2 red carpet. Just add a belt and go. It’s crazy that she’s old enough for us to share clothing and shoes, but I’m thankful she wants to. I feel a little Gilmore Girls-y 😂 .

Instagram post 2175867351409113842_405824995 It’s Disney+ day! Yes, I let my kids skip school today, so we could watch and binge Disney movies and shows. Sometimes you just need a break. One of the movies we watched was the live-action Lady and the Tramp! We interviewed Yvette Nicole Brown and Adrian Martinez last week - two of the stars and two of the nicest, funniest, down-to-earth people in Hollywood. It’s funny, because they both play characters that dislike dogs, but in real life, they’re huge animal lovers! What have you been watching so far on #disneyplus?
