Top 5 Things to do While Your Kids are Back to School

Well, it's that time of year again! Some of your kids have already started school. My Johnny starts his first day of Preschool today! Do you ever find yourself wondering what to do or catch up on while you have all this time to YOURSELF??? It's time to get yourself in a "Back to School" routine. Need some ideas? Here are my Top 5 ideas to get you by while they are out of sight during the day!



1.)  Start a good book or series. I highly recommend 50 Shades of Grey. Or, if you are like just about every other woman out there who has most likely already read 50 Shades of Grey, I highly recommend The Black Dagger Brotherhood Series(it's another yummy one!), or the Sookie Stackhouse Series if you're into true blood! If none of those books sound good to you browse here for Amazon's best books of the month!


2.)  The newest trend this year is bold nails. Try out some new nail polishes or nail ideas. I'm a big fan of the OPI Pure Nail Laquer Apps. There are so many cute designs, they're simple to put on and last awhile too! For more ideas either visit Pinterest or OPI!


3.)  As a Parent, you basically cater to your kids and do everything to make sure they are all set up and happy everyday. Don't you deserve that too??? How about booking a Spa Day at a salon? A nice relaxing hot stone or deep tissue massage sounds just perfect! Talking about this actually makes me want to book a prenatal massage for myself haha!

4.)  Start a new workout, or go to a Pilates or Yoga class. Mowing the lawn during the warm season and shoveling the snow off the driveway in the winter are great workouts( I'm sure Hubby would like that right?!).

5.)  If you are simply not feeling productive and feel like just doing nothing that involves any energy, you can simply just grab a snack or a nice lunch and a cup of tea, sit on the couch and catch up on some T.V. shows that you've been missing out on. You can even rent an entire series that you've never seen before! I recommend starting Dexter or even True Blood ! Need more ideas? Here's the Top Ten TV Shows of 2012.

These are just my Top 5 back to school ideas. What are some of yours?
