When did going to the bathroom alone turn into \u201cme time?\u201d Can you really consider it going to the bathroom alone with little ones knocking on the door the entire time?<\/p>\n
Moms work hard, and they hardly get a break. According to a study conducted by Welch\u2019s, American moms work an average of 98 hours per week. They \u201cclock in\u201d around 6 a.m., and they don\u2019t \u201cclock out\u201d until 8 p.m.\u2014seven days a week.<\/p>\n
If that statistic doesn\u2019t speak volumes, another study found nearly 70% of moms are the breadwinners in their home.<\/p>\n

\nMoms carry the weight of the world on their shoulders, so it is no wonder the number one desire for me time is massage time. Unwinding, relaxing, rejuvenating and refueling is not only an appealing activity, but a necessary one that moms won\u2019t do unless they are told to.<\/p>\n
\nMotherhood takes a lot of time and energy. Having time to care for and pamper oneself is a great activity. Going to a salon to get a fresh hairstyle or getting nails done is the perfect pick me up.<\/p>\n
\nMoms make sure everyone has a full belly, multiple times a day. They spend a lot of time in the kitchen. Enjoying their favorite meal made by someone else\u2014even if it is takeout\u2014would be sure to put a smile on their face.<\/p>\n
\nWho doesn\u2019t love sleep? Enjoying sleep and forgetting about the unending to-do list is a great escape.<\/p>\n
\nWhen do moms watch their own shows on television? After the kids are sound asleep. Exhausted, moms muster up enough energy to relax and watch their favorite shows. Give them the day to binge TV and movies\u2014and throw some popcorn into the mix.<\/p>\n
\nGive mom a shopping spree, away from the grocery store. Make sure to tell her to shop for herself and no one else.<\/p>\n
\nSitting on the deck enjoying the quiet, laying in the sun, gardening, or going for a walk: the list of activities for moms to do outdoors is long and often untouched. While this me-time seems simple, it\u2019s enjoyable in that very simplicity.<\/p>\n
\nAside from the obvious benefits of a hot bath or shower, having one uninterrupted is a dream for moms. Taking a long bath or shower\u2014or many\u2014is both relaxing and sure to make mom happy.<\/p>\n
\nGetting out and enjoying friends is always a great idea. A day or evening away from responsibilities with adult conversations and interaction will definitely be a hit with mom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
