Relaxing evening for MOM

A great way to relax – is a bubble bath – a good book or music – maybe a glass of wine and some quite time.

If you have kids it is hard to get any time to yourself and even harder to find a night to yourself.

I suggest that you arrange things with your husband before hand or even a babysitter. To plan a night where the kids are taken care of and will not bother you – the kids could even be out of the house. Once the kids are taken care of then take time to plan the relaxing night by yourself – make sure it is special to you – even the planning should be special.

Plan what candles you want to use – the wine you want to drink – the music you want to listen to or the book you want to read – the bath oils or bubble bath you want – make sure the fragrance matches the candles.

Then relax and enjoy!!!

Swimming lessons at 31/2?

I know a lot of what I put here is other peoples thoughts and recommendations, mostly because as a newer mom I do not have many of my own. I look forward to hearing back from my readers in their comments about their own experiences of places they suggest to get more insight.
My kids are 1 and 3 and are the biggest goofballs. This summer we have been toying with the idea of getting our oldest some swimming lessons so we are ready to hit the pool next summer with out the water wings. When is it ok to start kids in swimming lessons? Too early at 3 almost 4 or have I already waited to late?
