wheat bag bliss

I am in recovery mode today. Resting and taking care of a few sick children.

I had a big day yesterday as I helped to put on a formal dinner {which felt like I was organising a mini wedding and is really out of my comfort zone!} and with the kids we have a serious case of the coughs in our house.

On mornings like this one of my 'little helpers' whenever I feel worn out is my wheat bag. I love to heat it up and use it to help me relax. I love that it forces me to sit still and to rest - to enjoy the heat and to stop.

It also find it helpful as it sends a message to the kids that I am resting and need a little more love!

This is how I like to wear mine:


Attractive I know! But it works!

What do you use to relax? Do you find it difficult to stop? Do your kids let you have time out?

  1. You look simply gorgeous!!! Hope everyone gets well soon and Mommy gets her rest.
    When I need to relax, it's the heating pad, a snuggly blanket and an old classic movie!
    Hope you have a good Sunday!

  2. Great look! ;)
    I love wheat bags too, although I use them more for my back. When I need time out, I ask one of the teens to keep an eye on Miss 3 and lock myself in the bathroom so I can have a hot bath. Hope you all feel better soon!

  3. How on Earth do you still manage to look beautiful with a wheat bag on your head and sick kiddies to care for?!

    I hope you're all on the mend by now.
