Motivational Mondays – Time for myself

If there’s one thing that mums don’t get enough, it’s time for ourselves. Like uninterrupted, undisturbed time when someone is not asking you to find a lost toy or asking what’s for tea break.

As a working mum, I’m actually thankful to have time away from Sophie. Don’t get me wrong, I love my role as a mum and do wish I can spend more time with her. But there are times when gosh I wish I could press the off button in her so that she will go to bed promptly at bed time and nap time, stop asking a zillion and one questions and even just play quietly by herself.

But since I only have 24 hours, I end up sleeping late most nights so that I can do my own things, like blog, surfing the internet, watch my drama serials and lately, I’m picking up scrapbooking again.

And my first project for my self is to make a travel album to record all our happy moments spent on our family vacations, from Taiwan to Hong Kong this year. I love pouring through my photographs and seeing them brings a smile to meas I recall the moments behind them.

Don’t forget to take time for your hobbies today, be it baking, photography or scrapbooking like me 🙂 Doing the things I love and enjoy puts me in a happy place and don’t we all needs a healthy dose of happiness everyday?

PS: If you like washi tape, I’ve got a giveaway for some limited edition tapes next week on my Facebook page 🙂 Do give it “Like” it and click on “Get Notification” to get updated when the giveaway is up.
