I will be bringing you things to do for me time, all year long. Starting with 15 Minute Me Time Ideas for January!
As the mom of a teen, tween, and toddler twins, I will tell you a little bit of me time each day keeps you sane. It doesn’t just keep you sane, it helps you remember who you. That you are more than a mom.
Being a mom is amazingly fantastic. It can also consume us. For that reason, Me Time is highly encouraged around here.
January is still pretty chilly in most areas of the country. You may find yourself enjoying that 15 Minute Me Time inside most days this month. I mixed up the me time ideas for January with indoor and outdoor ideas for you to choose from.

Me time is vital. I learned that early on. No matter how busy you are it is really important to take a little bit of time for yourself if it you only sit in a chair with your eyes shut and daydream. You will be so much happier for it.
