TAKE care of SELF

By -




As mothers we often forget that we have to make sure we are taking care to be at our best to take care of others. We get so wrapped up in daily life that we do not take any time for ourselves. Sometimes we make excuses or feel guilty about doing things for self. But we need to remember to take a few minutes out of our day to please self.

Doing my nails 



It does not have to be over the top. It could be stopping on the way home to get $1.00 ice cream cone from McDonald's, or picking up your favorite book, or taking the extra 10 minutes in the bathroom to read it (Do not act like you have never done it lol).

Reading expands the mind

Taking time for self is necessary to maintain mental and physical health.

Cup of Tea can warm the heart


What activities do you do for self?

Good Morning, We are hear today chatting with Melissa McClone about her Chocolate Shop Series, check out our interview and the prize that she is giving away today on The Simple Things in Life. 1. What made you want to be an author? I love books. Reading has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I thought about writing a romance novel in high school although being a screenplay writer was more my dream. I don’t know that I ever thought about wanting to be an author per se. When I finally started writing (after reading a story I didn’t like), I just wanted to see if I could finish a book and sell it. I fell in love with writing, and that was it. 2. What inspires you to write your stories? I get a kernel of an idea and I want to see what happens, but to be honest, writing is my career and our family budget counts on what I make, so that inspires me to write a lot! 3. Do you have a favorite author? I buy Nelson DeMille’s novels in hardcover s...
