Maybe you don’t feel all pretty today. Maybe, like me, you still haven’t showered, you are make-up-less, your legs are dry and neglected (after all it’s winter, and we simply don’t HAVE TO shave as much). You carry baby’s on your hip, get breakfast for little ones, clean up messes from little ones, get out crafts, clean up the disaster the 20 minutes of peace created, get lunch, clean up another mess, put kids down for naps, try to be super quiet so little ones don’t wake up, {insert take a deep breath here}, you get the picture.
It may, in fact, seem like just another day for you, the mom. Remember that the most beautiful thing you can wear today is a smile and a heart full of contentment and love. Remember, you are so richly blessed!
I want you to know that you are super beautiful, Mama! You work so hard and you are rockin’ that messy bun and yoga pants. No matter how much you are feeling like a hot mess today, please know, you are so beautiful and so loved.
Being a Mom has made you oh-so-beautiful and blessed!
But just in case you are wanting to feel a little sexy, and non-mommyish this evening for your special man, here are some things you might like to do:
- freshen up.
- shower.
- shave.
- put perfume on.
- loosen up and laugh.
- pluck your eyebrows.
- put on some make up.
- pick a cute and simple hairstyle.
- pick out a cute outfit for tonight (preferably without drool, spit up, or puke from said baby).
- rent a movie and eat strawberries and chocolate with whip cream on top.
- light some candles, pour your favorite drink and relax.
- put some pretty music on and slow dance in your living room.
- cuddle and reminisce.
How do you shift from mommy-mode to wife-mode, especially on valentine’s day? I’d love to hear what makes you feel pretty and alive for your man?
