Put your kids into their rooms with a story book or small puzzle, turn on the door alarms, and spend 30 minutes relaxing!
Moms (and Dads!) must spend the 30 minutes with a cup of coffee (tea, hot chocolate) and a good book. NO CHEATING! NO work, phone calls, 'catching up', or informative reading.
Just let yourself relax for a whole, entire 30 minutes.You'll feel recharged and ready to take on the rest of the day!
Friends & Family Supporting Awesome Parents
Set up a time where you can be 'Maid for the Day' for one of these Awesome families. If you live too far away, hire someone to go in and clean.
Make Mom feel like royalty (she is!) by giving her time to chill (you may need to tell her how to do this - it's probably a long forgotten memory!) and still get a clean house!
Make sure Mom knows it's because you love her and want to give her some time off, NOT because you think her house is a disaster and shee can't handle it.
