It's Easy To Loose Your Mind

Last week was a lot of work for me.  I usually get a break a couple hours a day where I can work, the house is quiet and I run around to get stuff done. 

Not last week. 

My little ones spent most of the week with me while I juggled work, being Mom, the first week of school and keeping the house in order. WAS NOT EASY! 

My almost breaking point...she played with her dirty diaper instead of taking her nap. It never happened with my other two. I paused for a second and was in shock. It was all over her and the crib and floor.  I took deep breaths and bathed her THREE times. My husband was on his way home and took her crib apart and cleaned EVERYTHING!

I showered again after all was cleaned too. I took a break and went out with my sister for drinks. That really helped! I almost stayed out but knew I had to come back and be Mom. (of course I would come back...eventually)

It's easy to loose your mind. At that moment you want to scream. I just kept it together and took it out later on drinks. Although I do not recommend that is the best stress-releaser for everyone, did work for me, I do recommend TAKING A TIME OUT!

We all know we need them and how often do we do it? I can now look back and laugh about it. Thank goodness. I also learned never to put your kid to sleep in just a diaper. Always have back up sitters available. And take off your super power cape because we are all human and there is just so much one person can take.

 

Health Benefits Coconut Oil and Pomegranate Juice

Coconut Oil

I am a huge fan of coconut oil. When I first had my thyroid removed I was taking tablets and now I buy the oil in a jar and use it all the time. I mixed it with my face moisturizer and within a couple months my face looked amazing. It was like I stepped back 5 years. I use it all over my body straight from the jar after I shower and it helped with stretch marks and my skin seems tighter. I am a HUGE fan and I am constantly recommending it to everyone. After having three kids I am happy to say I hardly have stretch marks. I always joke that if I was ever stranded on an island all I would need is Coconut Oil!

*Some Health Benefits of Coconut Oil:

• Supports the thyroid and improves hormone balance
• Boosts your levels of energy
• Helps cravings and hunger pangs
• Good for improving digestion and nutrient absorption

Pomegranate Juice
I remember the day my Dad came home with a bottle "This stuff is suppose to be amazing for you" he said. Well he was right. I start adding a splash to my drinks when I am out. Adds flavor and makes you think you are being healthy at the same time!

*Some Health Benefits of Pomegranate Juice

Potent anti-cancer and immune supporting effects

Inhibits abnormal platelet aggregation that could cause heart attacks, strokes and embolic disease
