Tips from other moms:
"Take one hour a day for YOU even if it means you spend your hour watching
Days of Our Lives! Get away and let your family know this is your time too"
"Make an arrangement with your spouse that you get 2 hours on Wednesday
nights (or any other night) to do what you want to do make use of this time
any way you want to" or "Join or form a neighborhood playgroup or mom's night out -- the playgroup
is something you can take the kids to and still have mom time too!"

Whenever I have a really stressful day, I can either burn a lavender-scented or lavender/chamomile-scented candle, and it really helps to relieve the stress! This also helps to calm a baby and get him/her to go to sleep, and they tend to rest better. You can also diffuse the lavender or lavender/chamomile combination of essential oils in a diffuser. You’ll be delightfully surprised at how much this will help to calm everyone in the room!

Wake up with Cinnamon. Put a sprinkle of cinnamon in your coffee grounds
before brewing and you'll wake up to the smell of gourmet coffee, even if it
is the cheapest on the shelf.
Learn to say "no". This is an obvious thing, but so few of us can actually
say it. When someone asks you to do something, pause for a second before you
answer. Don't just think, "I can make the time" and answer yes. Oftentimes,
I'll say "Ask around first. If you can't find anyone else to do it, then I
will, but I really don't have the time to dedicate to this right now." That
way, I know that they'll only ask me if they've used their other resources.
The job won't be left undone and I keep my 'to do' list a LOT shorter!
Get the kids involved doing fun chores. The more your children help around
the house, the more time you'll have to yourself. My children (7 and 2) love
to swiffer the floor and to wash the windows (with a mixture of vinegar and
water). They also are great at washing the car (while I sit in a chair
reading a magazine and enjoy watching them play). These are simple jobs for
a very young child, and it helps you get things done around the house so
you'll have more time to relax.
