What is your go-to relaxation thing post baby?

Now that you have LO, what is your go-to  way to relax after a stressful day?

Lately, I've been destressing by washing my hair with different scented shampoos and conditioners based on my mood. I have about 6 in rotation.

Unfortunately, I've been relying on the computer too much. I would like to get back into reading more.  Maybe we need another book challenge!

I am embarrassed to say that I actually drink a lot more now than I used to. After spending the day with a baby, sometimes the only thing that makes me feel good is an adult beverage. I used to put her to bed first and grab a glass of wine. These days though, it's common for me to grab a glass and relax with it on the bathroom floor while Avery plays in the bath tub.

Hmm... maybe I should have saved this for FFFC...

I got a kindle for christmas, so i've been reading a lot. But I only let myself read if I work out first. Both things help me relax and de-stress.

Getting in my pajamas and crashing on the couch. Possibly folding some baby clothes if there are any...I am odd and love to fold laundry, I find it relaxing.

Mostly the computer these days.  I would like to spend more time reading, but I haven't had much time since Christmas break.  I am taking an online class to renew my teaching certificate/move up a certification class, so that is keeping me busy.  I have been making a felt book for E, which although it is a lot of work, it is relaxing to me.  However, it seems like these days all I do is chase E around.  Not complaining though!

Sleep...I find sleep very relaxing.

In the morning, running helps me burn off a lot of tension. After work, DH and I usually enjoy a drink while we're cooking dinner and doing chores.

Five Months to Plan

I do work out in the morning. I feel this helps keep me in a good mood. I love love to read though. Some weeks I do not read at all, and then others I read whenever I can.

Ha! Don't feel bad - this was so me until a couple of months ago.

Giving up drinking this pregnancy is much harder than last time.
