Moms tend to put everyone else first. It’s in our nature, we’re the caretakers. But it’s time to start dedicating time to taking care of YOU. I know that it’s hard to escape your house (because, kids), so to help you come up with what to do, I’m going to give a list of 35 inexpensive self-care activities. And NO, I do not count a shower as self-care, because everyone should be able to take a damn shower in peace!
Don’t forge to pin this for later!
