Relaxation and the Mom of Two Boys

So, now that I'm the mom of two boys, to a husband with a brother, four male cousins, two uncles....I mean....you get the picture right? I'm surrounded by boys!

So what the heck do I do to get away from all of the trains, trucks, rough housing and craziness? I go to the spa.

My favorite spa in London, Ontario is Artistic Spa. I've been going here for about five years now, and have been for manicures, pedicures, facials, massages (both pre and postnatal), and full body treatments.

My favorite area at the spa is the Pedicure Lounge

It's just such a unique and relaxed atmosphere. Kind of artsy, open concept, but in a lovely old house right in the heart of our downtown.

My favorite treatment is the Sugar Daddy Scrub with Warm Apricot Oil Massage. It's seriously heavenly; performed in a treatment room with a fireplace on the wall, tranquil music playing and soft aromatherapy to relax you, all of my cares melt away.

So, mama, when was the last time you took some time for yourself and really relaxed? It might be a 30 minute aromatherapy massage that you need, or even a half spa day to get really pampered. Whatever you choose, turn your phone off {better yet, leave it in the car!}, and take a deep breath. You deserve it!

Oooh...I have a birthday right around the corner...perhaps I need to take some relaxation time!

WAHM Wednesday: Winding Down

Since we got home from vacation, we've been in full on house-hunting-packing-moving-to-the-inlaws mode.

Time to unwind?

My husband got me a Kobo for Christmas, and it's seriously the best thing since sliced bread. It gives me just that little break at the end of a jam packed day to unwind and relax...have my brain switch gears.

I find that between putting matchbox car through a ramp course for my son a bazillion times a day, promoting listings on Facebook and Twitter, taking photographs of paintings, setting up tweets, connecting and networking, and creating amazing party decorations for amazing customers...my brain is just fried, and yet spinning all at the same time.

And then it takes hours to settle down, and usually leads to nightmares...little sleep...step and repeat for the next day.

Do you WAHM's take time in your daily schedule to unwind? My Kobo has been my relief; even if it's just 3 pages or so, it's enough relief for me!
