This is a compensated review by BlogHer and Ritz.
So this summer is my first summer NOT doing home daycare or working in some form or another since...umm...since I was 16 maybe? Being that I have 3 active boys and I am in fact a student myself, the school year was busy and hectic and went a mile a minute. So I was so looking forward to this summer of just me and my boys. (and their dad) PS: I loved my daycare kids, but there's something about just having my very own kiddos and being on our very own schedule!
Lets start by saying I'm in the car easily 4-5 times a day. I take them to the weekly summer movies at the local theatre, I'm at the library 3+ days a week dropping off and picking up movies and books, I schlep 'em out to the water park 2+ days a week, I drive them to and from cubscout meetings, and sit on the sidelines during basketball. I'm at the grocery store, the bank, the gas station, etc etc etc! We are on the run constantly! When I do have a minute or two free, my favorite thing to do is take a breath, grab a snack, and read a book.
Running around town or hiding in my corner hanging out with the latest author, snacks on the go are a must. Ritz Crackerfuls filled crackers are portable and so easy to grab in a pinch. The 6 grams of whole grain in each serving make this a filling and healthier alternative to all the sugar snacks that seem to sneak their way into my cupboards.
These snacks get snuck OUT of my cupboards just as quickly!

I hop online or watch a good movie
When I have a few moments to myself in the evening, I take a bubble bath.
Single and older than dirt, I have lots of time to myself (and love it) in down times I think on the past, some regrets but more insight into the benefits of hard times and injuries and how they helped to strengthen me for the future.
I tend to step away and go on the computer to read blogs or the news...also look at fashion sites for new ideas.
I like to spend my free time reading a good book!

I go online and search my favorite stores clearance sections.
Online shopping and browsing, love deals!
When I am able to get some time for myself I like go for a long walk. We live in a rural area and during the spring and summer there are always so many new gorgeous flowers and shrubs blooming that it is really relaxing.
I guess you could say that it brings you back to nature after being inside for several days.
Thank you so much for the giveaway.

When I have a little "me" time, I'll usually put on my headphones and listen to some new music on my iPod, usually reading a magazine at the same time. That always seems to relax me and take me away from reality for a few minutes!

For me it is always a dilemma between taking a nap and surfing the Web.
I go for a walk on the beach and let whatever is on my mind just slip away. Relaxes me every time!

It's been so long since I had a moment to myself, I'm not sure what I'd do! Probably just sleep, which is a rarity for me these days!
Many thanks!
