My Balancing Act


Ok I'm going to say it-I need a break! I am a working woman, a wife, a mother of three, and a business owner. Sometimes it feels like my days all run together. Here are a couple of things I do to keep my mind fresh and clear:

Wake up early to have time by myself. - I start my mornings with prayer and then try to at least have 15 minutes to myself before the chant of "mommy" starts.

Exercise - I have found exercising to be a great energy booster,even if it's only 20 minutes a day.

Organize - I love using the Google Calendar you can have a calendar for family, personal, and business all in one convenient location. You can also sync the information in your calendar to many cell phones. I still use an old school planner as a back up. It's something about writing down events that helps me remember them.

I found this guy who is really supportive, my husband-My husband is super supportive and when I need a break he will handle the kids for me. I find that spending time alone with my husband relaxes me. We can be at home watching a movie or out dining at our favorite Thai restaurant. The time we spend alone really helps me keep my goals and priorities in order.

My secret stress reliever is a Chocolate Devotion signature creation from Cold Stone Creamery- Yes I said it. Sometimes I just need to indulge .
