Being a MOM changes everything

I mean everything....
Take getting ready to leave the house for instance...

Before motherhood: I could shower (taking the time to rinse, lather and repeat, shave everything necessary), spray some lovely fragrance, lotion up, brush my hair and teeth without interruption, put on clothes that fit my frame perfectly, uncomfortable yet adorable shoes, and makeup and hair to near perfection.

After children: On a good day, I am lucky enough to shower in two seconds flat (before blood curdling screams occur on the outside of the door) - definitely a rinse, maybe a quick lather, the repeat is no-go, shaving only happens once a week in the summer months IF you are lucky, skip the fragrance (the children will pretend they are gagging on whichever scent is chosen), skip the lotion and stare at my VERY dry legs while brushing my teeth and hair simultaneously, then throw on yoga gear and sneakers, no makeup, no time for hair....

BUT; It doesn't HAVE to be this way! Don't let yourself go! You are worth some YOU time!
Just change your routine a bit and look for short-cuts! Shower at night, and lightly towel dry and smooth brush your hair (its better for split ends and dry hair anyway) plus, you can shave and rinse, lather and repeat! AND double bonus, use a Schick Hydro Silk (get silky skin and afford to skip the lotion-- I was lucky enough to try it as a BZZAgent)! When you wake get dressed right away (keep the yoga pants for yoga) and put some makeup on early, when its time to leave, do a touch up and a hair check... boom!
