I am so excited to announce that I will be participating in 31 Days again this year!
This will be my fourth year participating, which is kind of
crazy to think about. The first year I
wrote about Intentional Living, year two was Back to Basics, and then
last year was Preparing for Baby #3.

I love the premise of the 31 Days project. To pick a topic and write about only that for
31 days is a challenge. Heck, writing
anything for 31 days is a challenge, but then for it to be centered on one
topic, it is a huge challenge.

When I thought about my 31 Days project for this year,
honestly, I couldn’t think of anything.
Then I had a few minutes to sit down and think without interruption –
that doesn’t happen a lot as a mom of three little ones. While I was sitting, I realized that it was
blissful, and that I needed to do more of it.

That is when my topic came to me – 31 Days of Self-Care.
For every day in October I will be writing about
self-care. Now, I don’t want you to
think I am an expert in this area, I am most definitely not. In fact it will be much more of a story, my
story, and my journey to self-care with some tips along the way.

content to share with you all.

December 15, 2015 at 1:50 pmI do like participating in things like this because it's nice to write the same thing as others, and then read what they had to say about the topic. I'm going to check out your Green Juice recipe now.

December 14, 2015 at 9:35 pmI think this is a great idea and something I'd like to implement in 2016 myself. Day #12 would be my favorite! Saying NO is so difficult sometimes!

December 14, 2015 at 7:16 pmMy focus/goal for this year has been about self-care. I have not written much about it, but I will be sharing my successes and struggles in the area come January. I really believe that self-care is important.

December 14, 2015 at 2:01 pmI often put myself last. As a mom I feel like if everYone else is taken care of then its my turn. I know that's not how it's suppose to be, but it has been for me! – Jeanine

December 13, 2015 at 7:58 pmSelf care is so important and helps us feel better about ourselves. Hygiene is so important to me and regardless of how tired I am I will always carry out my routine.

December 13, 2015 at 6:23 pmLearning to take better care of myself and take some time to pamper. It's so important yet hard at the same time. Love the ideas you have listed!

December 13, 2015 at 2:21 amSelf care is so HARD when you are a mom!!! The more kids you have the less energy you have left at the end of the day. I can't wait to read all of these posts because I struggle with self care too!! Thank you for posting!

Rachel says
November 3, 2015 at 6:38 amWhat a great topic! I need to read through a few of these. With 6 kids, I don't get a lot of time to take care of myself. I'm stopping by from One Project at a Time.

October 5, 2015 at 11:53 amHi! I found your blog through the Write 31 days link up. It's my first year participating and I'm also writing on self care this year! I have three little ones too, sounds like we have a lot in common. Happy writing!!
Heather says
October 5, 2015 at 1:41 pmIt is a great topic, and one I am enjoying writing about! Can't wait to see what you are saying on it 🙂
Pattie says
October 1, 2015 at 1:26 pmI'm following your series, because I am so nice and kind to everyone else besides myself 🙂 My series, incidentally, is 31 Days of Friendship 🙂
Heather says
October 1, 2015 at 1:33 pmYes! I definitely know this feeling 🙂 I can't wait to check out your series as well!

October 1, 2015 at 12:06 pmHello, Fellow 31 Dayer! I'm looking forward to reading your perspective on self-care. It's a topic I've spent more time on in my own life this year. I'm writing 31 reflections of a first-time novelist. Looking forward to a great exchange of thoughts and ideas this month. Good luck!
Heather says
October 1, 2015 at 1:32 pmI love your topic! Writing a book is a dream of mine…perhaps some of my self-care tips and your reflections will help me on my way!
Anne Campbell says
October 1, 2015 at 2:55 amMoms need to give themselves priority sometimes. This is a wonderful topic to spend a month on!
Heather says
October 1, 2015 at 1:32 pmThank you!

September 30, 2015 at 10:53 pmAs a mom, I totally forget to take care of myself (take a shower, brush my teeth, sit down, eat, etc.). I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror the other day and I yelped! It's time to start taking care of myself. This scraggly mama, needs your posts! I can't wait until tomorrow!
Heather says
October 1, 2015 at 1:31 pmYes! When you have little kids and are in the thick of it, it is so hard to take the time for yourself! Glad you will be joining us 🙂
