Moms, know what Labor Day is all about? It’s about reflecting on and celebrating the fruits of our labor, and our ultimate labor love – seeing our child blossom every day.

You deserve a medal. A badge of honor. A hug. A wild time. So if you feel like it, take a few hours off to honor the amazing mom and woman you are. 

What do YOU need? A night out with the girls? A sexy, new negligee? Ten minutes each day to start writing your novel? Remember these tips:

  • Trust your intuition – it will make you the best mom.
  • Remember what activities fill you up, and do them.
  • Take quiet time every day – even five minutes.

You are a woman, as well as a mom with needs and desires. While they may be put on hold temporarily, they mustn’t be forgotten. It is up to you to remember.
