I don’t know about you, but I deal with a lot of stress. One way I relieve stress is by taking some mommy time. It’s not always possible for me to get away from the kids and the house. Sometimes I have to take mommy time at home. A long hot bath with some of my favorite beauty and body products can be very relaxing. Of course, my husband has to be home to keep an eye on the kids while I am soaking in the tub.
I like to turn the lights off and light scented candles in the bathroom. I think it makes it easier to relax if the candles are the only lighting in the room. Of course, I listen to my favorite music. My favorite scent for candles is vanilla, but my husband hates the smell of vanilla. I just tell him to avoid the bathroom when I come out. He can use the other one.
Raising a child with autism can be difficult. I’ve learned to roll with the punches, most of the time. I tend to hold things in until I break, which isn’t good. I need to make a point of having more mommy time. It doesn’t do my kids any good to have me break down. What do you do to relieve stress?

I love just spending an hour or two reading.

hi, I would love to have a mommy time in the bathroom like you, but the kids would be bowling outside the door.
, I am taking B-complex supplement to help with stress management. Somehow I feel calmer and not so tired.
Ooh, I can definitely use some mommy time right about now, my kids are literally bouncing off the walls today, and they haven’t had any sugar, what the heck. Maybe this weekend, hopefully!

If I can arrange for my husband to watch the kids, I head out for a pedicure.
If not, then I take naps when they do — yes, I nap. It’s a great way to just shut off for 30 minutes or so.
