Good news + some free stuff, too

Welp, this last week certainly didn’t go the way I had planned. In fact, it threw my husband and I both for a loop. 
 
It all happened Tuesday afternoon. We were finally sitting down to have some lunch when our son bolted upstairs from just barely setting foot in the basement. As soon as he blurted out, “the basement is wet, there’s water everywhere.” Matt and I moved like we never have before to discover our entire basement was completely soaked. Water in the toy room, water in our main room, water coming out of the wall, water EVERYWHERE.

New Year, New You: Meditation


New Year, New You Series: Meditation + Oils
Happy New Year, my friend!
 
I’m so happy that you’ve found your way back to The Blissful Mom Blog. Welcome back!
 
We’re continuing on our health + wellness journey to provide you the BEST information around.
 
So, let’s go ahead and dive right in!
 
This week, we’re focusing on our five senses, meditation, and how you can incorporate essential oils to score the ultimate relaxation.
 
FYI, we all need this, and you’re just where you need to be. Glad you’re here!
 
For this first week of content, I’m pumped that Amy Kaspar of Country Road 5280, certified yoga instructor, and super sweet friend will be walking us through the many health benefits of meditating and using essential oils.
 
 
Did you watch it?! What did you think?! If you took the time to watch it, I have a really good feeling that your stress levels have reduced, and you’re feeling much better about your day. Seriously, watch it now!
 
So, Amy also mentions that essential oils are a fantastic way to continue reaping the benefits of meditation all day long.
 
And I could not agree more! 
 
Unfortunately, not all essential oils are created equally. There’s plenty of junk and tons of gimmicks out there. Don’t fall into that trap, my friends!
 
 
By using 100% pure, real essential oils from a reputable source while practicing stress-relieving activities and incorporating meditation into your day can provide ultimate healing, restoration, and stress relief. 
 
Yes, please—sign me up for ALL of that! 
 
Like meditation, the world of essential oils can be intimidating. But, it really doesn’t need to be. Here are a few quick steps to get started: 

  1. Learn about essential oils from someone you know and trust. 
  2. Purchase oils from a trusted source. (If you’ve been here longer than a minute, I hope that’s me!)
  3. Get the oils at the best deal – here are some freebies offered this month that can save you BIG time!
So, what are you waiting for?! Get into a Zen state of mind, relax, and pop open those oils, my friend—you’re about to have a wonderful, relaxing (and productive!) day ahead!
 
Missed some of our earlier content? Not to fret! Catch the full lineup of the New Year, New You series seen first here on the Blissful Mom Blog.

 
Wishing you all the best until next time! (That's next week, by the way. See you then!)

Best Time Saving Hacks for Busy Women: Part 2

Best Time Saving Hacks for Busy Women: Part 2

Did you catch the first segment of my Best Time Saving Hacks for Busy Women earlier this week? If not, don’t miss it! You can find it right here.

 

To continue these great tips to maximize your time, while being a great and fully focused mama, keep reading. You’ll essentially be at Wonder Woman status once you’ve read and implemented these bad boys into your daily routine.

 

Say “no” more often

Yup—I’m totally guilty of not following this one myself, but it’s an absolute must to reaching your goals and sticking with them. You have my full permission—just say “NO!”

 

Listen to a podcast, inspirational video while exercising

This has been my jam lately. I always want to maximize my time. Listening to a podcast or watching a professional development video while I do some yoga or get in some cardio has been a motivator to do something good for myself while also expanding my mind—love it!

 

Get your groceries delivered 

Ugh, this one is just so easy. Just push that darn easy button already. You’ll save time, you’ll save money, and most importantly, you’ll save your sanity from taking small children into the grocery store. Because let’s be honest—that’s just nuts!

 

Shop online 

Same concept as getting those groceries delivered. Just shop online! You can get everything you need, oftentimes with free shipping, plus you only shop for what you actually need instead of being tempted by the dollar section at Target. We all know that is where our wallets go to die!

 

Batch home projects

This is a hint at the first rendition of this blog, the Best Time Saving Hacks for Busy Women: Part 1. Get that to do list out, determine what all of your home-related projects are. Maybe it’s cleaning out that pesky (and stinky!) mudroom, or finally donating those clothes you’ve been meaning to get rid of for years. Whatever it is, make a list of these projects, set a timer (20 or 30 minutes will do), and go to town! You’ll feel so glad when it’s done, and your house will be less cluttered, too. Win, win!


Got all these down? You go, mama! I’m rooting for you! And if you ever have any questions along the way, don’t hesitate to reach out. Us mamas on a mission to live better, healthier, more abundant lives have GOT to stick together. I’m here for YOU!
