3 Free ways to De-Stress!

Most of the women I know de-stress with a glass of wine. I probably would too only, wine cost money and that's not really something I have. So, I choose to de-stress in other "free ways"!

I'll share with you my

3 favorite, FREE ways to de-stress!

1. Writing! Now I usually only write when I am feeling overwhelmingly emotional and its usually late at night, because I've tried to rest my mind, but just can't sleep. It is so therapeutic for me. It helps me release stress by getting it all out. Most of the time it also helps me to put my thoughts into perspective. I'll write all I want, then go back and read it, try to get to the root of my angst. Typically, my angst seems to be centered around the lazy-mooching-lump sleeping in my bed. Ugh!

2. Cleaning! Ya, Ya, I know it's a chore, right? I know, I know but if you just get started, once you're done it really does make you feel better. Especially if it's something big, like steam cleaning the carpets, or getting underneath and behind the furniture! I even feel better after a give the bathroom a good deep-cleaning! I almost feel like I'm in a nice hotel the first time I shower after cleaning the bathroom! It's the little FREE things in life that mean soo, soo much!

3. Eating! Yumm! Typically, it has to be something really delicious to take me away! Like a nice fluffy piece or really saucy piece of pizza pie! Feeling less stress just thinking about it. However, I do not recommend using this one very often, but every once in a while. Especially when I'm having a rough day at work, I will scour the office in search of something yummy to calm me down. So many people, so many different tastes! I just love, office potlucks! You get to try so many different things!

Why it's important to chaperon, fieldtrips!

Our first field trip, and we did not get picked to be chaperon's-Ugh. Why is it important to be a chaperon on your child's fieldtrips, you say?! 1. Stranger Danger! A strange person will be in charge of a group of, undoubtedly 6-8, 7-year-old boys! And we all know how unruly little boys can be at that age. Plus, my son is not your typical Mancho boy, he's more on the sensitive side-A total M-path. I'd expect him to probably fall apart crying, rather than get in trouble for being mischievous. Can another parent deal with that? - While trying to keep her, two-eyes on 5 other boys!? I have little confidence in most parents' ability to, parent or babysit, for that matter. It's all in my head, right? I'll just keep repeating this all day, because now I won't be able to concentrate on anything else! 2. No Souvenirs! The kids can't bring anything on the field trip! Ya, I get that, who wants to be responsible for 200 kids and their junk? The...

DIY - Frugal Portable Height Chart

One of my all-time favorite things to do is be creative. Unfortunately, with so much momming to do, it sometimes leaves very little time for mommy to get her creative juices flowing. So, anytime my little comes to me and wants to create something, I jump at the opportunity to squeeze in some creative time with my little! My two favorite things in the whole world! Over the weekend my son asked me if I would start measuring his height against the wall in our hallway. My first thought was Ya! that sounds like a cool idea, but then I started thinking, we are renters so we would lose the memories when we move. I immediately jumped on Pinterest to get some ideas of how to make a height chart for them, that would actually work for us. I even created a board with some of the cool ideas that I found! I really liked the height chart made of wood, but who has time and money for all that! I wanted to spend no money on this project, 1. because I don't have any to spend and 2. because I ...
