As some of you may have noticed my regular Saturday newsletter did not go out this week. This is for good reason with a side of advice I'd like to share with you all.
My husband and I spent the weekend celebrating our 7th anniversary without kids. This was the first time since having children that we were without them. While enjoying some much-needed rest and relaxation I was surprised by just how burned out I was. This reminded me of how important self-care is. My first day back in the "Mom" role was much more productive and enjoyable. Being a caregiver, whatever your situation, is HARD. Don't forget to schedule some time for yourself. Even if it's just a walk or time to read a book by yourself, enjoy yourself. We are better caregivers when we are content and not running on empty.
Enjoy this mid-week newsletter and my newsletter will be back on schedule.
Peace, love, macaroni
