As the moms of multiples we spend our days doing things for other people. Often our own needs are put last on a list or filed away for “someday.” Some of these desires are big “bucket list”items like seeing the Greek Islands. Other items on our wish lists might be as simple as calling a friend or getting a haircut. Life as a mom is a marathon, not a sprint. Every day there are very real and valid excuses why we don’t have time for ourselves. It may be mounds of laundry, stomach bugs, after school activities, or just the daily grind of running a household and often working outside the home, as well. Our challenge is to make time and to make our own wellness a priority. When we moms become depleted, we have less to give to our partners and to our children. Mommy rejuvenation may sound like a silly notion when you barely have time to use the bathroom by yourself. So that’s where we will begin --- in the bathroom. With a few simple steps, we are going to make it your personal oasis!
