Steal a Moment for Yourself – You Won’t Regret It

Aug 17 by Leave a Comment

Steal-a-moment

To steal a moment and take time for yourself is one of the best gifts you can get. You won’t regret it! Even for just 5 minutes. #Ad #MomentstoSavor

As many of you can relate, life can be chaotic. As for myself, trying to keep up with a 13-year-old daughter who’s trying to make sense of her new-found emotions is a challenge. Add an adventurous 5-year-old who races go-karts, my always-on-the-go husband, a new puppy, and household duties — and every day is suddenly a crazy day.

Per usual, there’s never enough time in the day to get everything done. 

Though my life is super crazy, I wouldn’t change a single thing. I mean, one day the kids will be grown and out of the house and I will miss the chaos with all of my heart. Until any of that changes, I have to remember to steal a moment for myself once in a while. During the warm summer months, I just love sitting outside with a good book and a refreshing glass of iced tea. My go-to is Tradewinds Slow-Brewed Green Tea with Honey.

All of the Tradewinds Teas contain real sugar and all natural ingredients, are preservative free, and the bottles are also BPA free! Tradewinds Slow-Brewed Iced Tea is available in 18.5 oz bottles or gallon sizes, both of which are perfect for enjoying with your family and friends (or alone!), and they come in a variety of flavors like Sweet Tea, Unsweetened Tea, Green Tea with Honey, Unsweetened Peach, Raspberry, Tea & Lemonade, and Extra Sweet Tea. YUM! 

Since this is the first official school year in which both of the girls will be in school full-time, this is a chance for me to find a new appreciation for myself and my time. As sad as my mom heart was that my baby was starting Kindergarten this year, I was also excited for what the future will bring, for both of us! 

I’m going to take a few hours this week to sit outside in the warm sun with my intriguing book, my ice cold glass of Tradewinds Slow-Brewed Iced Tea and enjoy a little bit of “me time.” I am highly encouraging you to do the same. I’m positive, you more than deserve to do so.
