Day of Rest: Have a Cuppa
Moms, dads - this means you! During a long-ago MOPS meeting, a mom friend spoke about being "healthy-selfish." At the time, I was appalled. Moms and dads who care for their children should be giving every last minute of their time to help their child grow, learn, and be well-cared for. If you've ever read any Baby Blues , you may recall a particular strip where Wanda and Darryl struggle mightily to help their baby, Zoe, appear perfect for her first baby pictures. While wiping her off and changing her outfit multiple times, their hair becomes disheveled, spots of spitup gather on their shirts, and by the time the picture is snapped, they are exhausted. Have you been there? I certainly have. The baby is picture perfect and content, while mom and dad are beyond exhausted. A fresh cuppa for you this morning from The Creative Mama . My challenge for you today is this: take an hour for yourself. Do something you really enjoy....
