As moms we tend to put ourselves and our own needs last. Or at least nowhere near the top of our priority list. I’m plenty guilty of this too until it finally occurred to me; if I’m not taking care of myself- I’m really not doing my family many favors. So while I can try and compensate, I also knew that I had to make taking care of myself more of a priority. Now, while I may not have chronic health issues, I do have my fair share. Which makes it even more important for me to take care of myself. Maybe some of these health and wellness tips for stay at home moms will help you as well.
