May is a HUGE month, well for my family it is.
It is the one month in the year where it has many birthdays (including mine), wedding anniversary, and including Mother's Day.
Since this month is hugely popular and is the time of the year we celebrate Mums I thought why not make the whole month of May dedicated to women.
The whole idea is that the month of May is your month. It is for you to do something each day just for you.
I know that many of you are super busy working at being a mum or working at a job or possibly both. I've created a list of 31 things that you can do. Just simply pick one that you wish to do or you might wish to do a couple on the same day, it is up to you. Remember it is up to you and May is your month to do things for you, just make sure to not overwhelm yourself with things on a list that you might not get to.
There are 31 days in May so plenty of time to do a little of something each day.
Simply getting a cup of coffee at a local cafe after dropping kids off at school or care can be a boost for the soul. Or even taking yourself to a movie to finally watch a show that you have been desperate to see.
Some items on the list might not be super fun but after you've done them you will be happier. De-cluttering is a bit of work but the outcome of having a tidier and more organised space means less stress and more time for you and the family.
Also getting all the health checks is a bit boring but a must do. I like to make sure I stay on top of things like skin checks, pap smears, and a regular check-up at the doctors once a year to ensure that I am in good health. Having it done at a certain time each year means I don't have to think about it, I just organise the times and go to the appointments.
You will see some fun things on the list as well.
