Back To School - Checklist For Moms
Back To School - Checklist For Moms
Some parents are sending their kids back to school (in person) for the first time since March. We’re not here to debate the should-they / shouldn’t they - we’re always here to help families.
So we wanted to put some info together for the moms who are going to have a little more silence in their homes or maybe a little less worry when they’re at work. The moms who have been pulling double or triple duty, pouring their energies into their kids in new ways for a while. Yes, we know plenty of dads have been helping their children and sacrificing, but this is for the moms!
Say the words with me - Treat Yo Self!
You deserve a treat, could be big or small, but you deserve it.
Go get coffee at your favorite coffee shop (mmmmmmmmmmmm, Heritage House) or get a pedicure (you want that Bubblebath or Funny Bunny by OPI color), maybe it’s a trip to Target or the grocery store without kids in tow. Think of something you enjoy and go Treat Yo Self!
Here’s a quick checklist for you moms who need Treat Yo Self with some kids going back to school!
-
Is your coffee cup clean for Monday morning? Do you know where you want to get coffee on Monday? Do have have a friend you want to get coffee with?
-
Do you know where you want to go eat lunch on Monday? (or Wednesday if that’s your day) You don’t have to go somewhere with a Happy Meal. Do you have a friend you want to get lunch with? You get to choose where you eat with no questions asked!
-
Is your favorite wine glass clean for Monday or Wednesday night? (...and Wednesday night…) Do you have your favorite bottle of Pino Noir? Maybe you’re a Chardonay person, who cares just always be responsible, but it’s time for you to celebrate just a little!
-
How about getting your toes did!? Call a friend, meet for lunch, then go get your toes and heals done! Sit in that massage chair, close your eyes, breathe deep, and relax a little.
-
You don’t have to check your kids in at the gym for childcare. Heck, you can go to the gym, you can go for a walk and totally clear you mind! Get some kid-free exercise and take care of yourself!
-
How do those roots look? Got any split ends? Probably a little more gray showing with all the 2020 stress - so make an appointment for yourself!
-
Nap. Nap. Nap. Even Dr. Fauci says sleep is one of the best ways to protect yourself in these times. Sleep is the time when your body does 70% of it’s health recovery, so why don’t you find some time on Monday and take a nap! Put the stress behind you a little and Treat Yo Self to some much needed rest!
Moms - you work so hard. You provide for your family, your kids, your friends, and your home. You push yourself and you constantly pour your energy out for others. You deserve a little treat now that kids are going back to school. Even if you’re staying virtual, even if you home school, even if your kids have grown and gone to college - you deserve a treat.
The holidays will be here before you know it, summer was CRAZY, there is more crazy in store for 2020. So please think of something you like that’s a treat, take a little bit of time, and Treat Yo Self - you deserve it and you’ve earned it!
