Who could use a massage?!

 

 

 

As mother’s we are always super busy. I know, I am! One of the first things they say when you become a mom, is make sure you take time for yourself. However, that is usually way easier said than done. I’m horrible for taking time for myself.

Wahl Massagers are one way to make this easier for you. As a mom we work super hard, and so Wahl wants to make life a bit easier on us. They are giving away 50 massagers away to 50 very deserving moms for Mother’s Day!!!


What special things do you usually do for Mother’s Day? Do you have a family tradition? Since I became a mom, my kids (with the help of my hubby) make me breakfast in bed. Which always has a lovely homemade card with it. Then we spend the day together, watching movies, or playing outside. The perfect Mother’s Day in my book. Once my kids get older though, I won’t lie, a nice getaway could be fun! Smile 

 

If you can’t make it to the spa for a nice relaxing Mother’s Day bring the spa to you. If you “Like” Wahl’s Facebook Page, you can nominate a deserving mom you know to win a “Mom Relief Package”.  Just simply leave a comment on their page about the person, and why you think they deserve to win. All entries will be judged for their uniqueness and sincerity. Winners will all be chosen by May 13th.

 

I was able to test out the Deep Tissue Massager, and boy was that just amazing! My husband was anxious to see what arrived in the mail, so he opened the box right up. Then he ripped it open, took it out, plugged it in and tested it out on me. Oh my, how great that felt. It is amazing how much that helped even in a few minutes. My back felt so much better. I love that the handle is long enough, that if you want to do it yourself (incase no one is around, or you can’t bribe your kids) you can reach your neck and back yourself.

It comes with 4 attachments;

  • The Deep Muscle Attachment
  • The Four-Finger Flex Attachment
  • Accupoint Attachment
  • Raised Bump Attachment

 

Besides feeling like you have been at the Spa all day after using this, it has great benefits. It helps with pain management, which I’m sure every mom can associate with. After childbirth, or just carrying that child around. Plus it helps increase the blood flow in your body. It can also help with muscle tension. (I have so much of that) Helps regulate blood pressure, and reduce anxiety. I recently have been having really bad time with anxiety, so this could be really helpful for me. In the last week, I have used this a 3-5 times, and I can already feel a huge difference in my shoulders where I carry all of my STRESS! Plus I have had a bit less anxiety.

I’m totally in love with this thing, and can see it being used a lot in the near future!

Don’t forget to go nominate someone to win!

Mother’s Day

 

 

Sorry this is a few days late… ok, maybe more like a week late. I’m slow these days and time is never on my side. I try, it just all blows up in my face. Ever happen to you??

Ok, with that said… You probably remember me saying I was camping the day before Mother’s Day… so I didn’t get home til a bit after noon on the day of. My kids greeted me at the door with cards, and cookies they made with Nana. My husband greeted me with these:

010

Plus they had cooked me a Turkey Dinner. I had a bit of a headache, so I laid down for a bit and took a nap. All and all it was a great Mother’s Day!

Thanks guys! I love you!!!

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day Everyone!!! 


I just got home from a camp training event for Girl Scouts, and my kids are climbing on me for my attention... So this will be quick. But I wanted to at least wish all my Bloggy Mom Friends out there a very HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! 


Take it easy, sit back and relax, and take in the joy of just being a mom. I know that I am.... 


My babies made me cards, and cookies. Bless their cute little hearts! My hubby got me flowers... and is cooking me a Turkey dinner. I'm blessed and love my family very much. 


Stories about the weekend to come, giveaways and much more! 


Have a wonderful afternoon!

Mother’s Day Weekend

 

Last month, before I looked at the calendar really hard… I signed up for some training classes I needed for Girl Scouts. Perhaps I should have looked a bit harder at the calendar, cause I ended up scheduling it for the weekend of Mother’s Day. Opps!

My kids are a bit mad with me, and I understand. However, we don’t do much traditionally for Mother’s Day. I won’t be gone the whole day though… just part of it.


As I will be leaving Saturday to head out for Camp Training. That means, I have to go camping to get trained. Should be loads of fun, as my Co-leader (and best friend) are going with me. A day in the outdoors and wilderness in Florida, hmmmm…. I’m used to the creepy crawlies in Maine. Lets hope we don’t encounter any nasty ones from here. BLAH!  Don’t get me wrong, I’m not your average spleeny girl. I like camping, yet FL has so many different creepy crawlies to see!

I’m excited to go, and we need to get it done. So it will be a good weekend, and not to hot yet. My kids will still get me for a half a day!

 

What are your plans for Mother’s Day??

Happy Mother's Day!


Happy Mother's Day!


This year is again a particularly hard one for me. Being away from my Mom and not being able to spend the day with her. As we usually always do. My mom is amazing.. She is hard working, caring, dedicated, thoughtful, and supportive. Being so far away from her has come with its struggles. I call her often, mostly to just hear her voice on those really tough days. (not that I tell her that) I love you mom! xoxoxox


Mom is a hard job... Having three kids of my own, I know this first hand from many long hard, stressful days. They drive me crazy, to the point of no return, but I would not trade it for all the quiet peaceful days in the world. I'm lucky to have been able to be a SAHM for the past 6 yrs. I just keep in mind on those long crazy days, that they will grow up before I know it. The sleepless nights, temper tantrum throwing days, and whining moments will all be a short blip of time in my memory.

I hope you all have a great pampered day that you deserve. Snuggle up close to your kids, shower them with love.
