After I became a mom I lost all sense of taking time for myself. I am slowly trying to take at least 30 minutes a day to step aside and do something for myself. This year I want to learn to sew, make my own jewelry, and get regular pedicures. Thank you for the post.
There is one missing ; exercising ! I love exercising; it always boots my mood and I just feel SO amazing afterwards !
