More Time for Mommy

I had an idea today, to publish a few posts about how I try to put my very limited time to the best use.  With twin toddlers, I have such narrow windows to clean, cook, and just get things done, that I need to be smart so there is more ME time.

Today, I vacuumed the stairs.  With a 3 storey townhouse, that is a chore and I was sweating by the end of it!  I used my handheld and to help get the cat hair stuck to the runners, I used a lint brush.  That sounds so simple, but man, it was so much easier with that lint brush!

Then, I cut up a watermelon for the kiddos.  They love melons!  My trick for that is to cut it on a cookie sheet (one with a lip on all sides), with a plastic mat to protect the cookie sheet.  That way, all the juice doesn't go all over my counters.  I also save that juice, pop 3 cups or so of watermelon chunks into the blender and the strain it.  Mmmmmm... Watermelon juice!  It's a great way to use up melon that may go bad.  (And, watermelon margarita.  Need I say more?)

Everyone deserves time for themselves, even busy mommies!
