As a busy woman, I find my moments of “Me Time” to be few and far between. One of my goals this year was to dedicate more time to myself. I find it difficult to do when I have mountains of responsibility at home and in my career. I'm sure most of you can agree that being a woman isn't always easy, much less a mom!

I want to recognize the busy moms. The moms who sometimes forget that they are individuals, too. The moms who haven't spent a dime on themselves in years because their children always come first. In honor of the new movie Sing and Rosita (the mother of 25 piglets) I want to inspire all of my mommy friends to set aside time for themselves. Whether it be a 30 minute escape or an hour each morning/evening, please do something you love each day. You need to be the best you for your children and that means making yourself a priority for once. It's easier said that done, but you matter too! So, pop in the Sing movie for the kids (the SING Special Edition is available with 3 New Mini-Movies), make yourself a nice drink, kick your feet up, and relax! YOU DESERVE IT!

“Me Time” ideas from busy moms

I talked to some of my favorite moms and they dished on their “me time” tips, tricks, and relaxation techniques! I want to share their thoughts with you, in hopes that you'll take it personal and plan some time for yourself. 

“Sometimes all I need is 5 minutes to myself – but some days I need a glass of wine, a hot bath, and a good book! Depends on how stressful the day has been. But either way, me time is important for any mom or you risk losing yourself, which will only cause issues within your family!”
