Seriously… it is beyond what anyone can ever describe. And it doesn’t seem to get easier…

We Moms MUST somehow force ourselves to take time for US and look after ourselves. And since we’re so bad at giving ourselves permission to take 5 minutes off, we need to remind each other to invest time in ourselves…

What About You?

So, tell us… How do you take 5 Minutes for Yourself?

Thanks to Our Five Moms

Okay, I have to hurry and press publish on this post because after watching this video I just had to book myself a pedicure!

Yes, spa-time is the best me-time I can bank.

Facials, massages, pedicures… that’s the stuff we moms need.

The back-to-school prep and my backlog of work has been building my stress and I’ve decided to pop down the street for a treat for my feet.

While we were at BlogHer 2010, we asked five moms this question..

What’s Your Favorite Way To Pamper Yourself?

What About You?

What’s your favorite way to pamper yourself?
And do you treat yourself often enough?

However it is that you choose to celebrate this Mother’s Day, the Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts wants to help you celebrate. And trust us when we say that the people at the Four Seasons know how to pamper moms!

You may remember the amazing experience Susan had this past February when she stayed at the Four Seasons Hotel for the Mom 2.0 Summit. With her two little girls traveling with her, Susan was ecstatic to find such a family-friendly hotel. You can read (and see) more about her experience here and here!

We love that the Four Seasons is making their hotels and resorts child and teen friendly, but, this time, it’s all about the Mom (and the grandmas and aunts, of course)!

The Four Seasons recognizes the endless work of mothers and, so, they have created the “Do-Not-Disturb” Mother’s Day gift options redeemable locally or globally through the Four Seasons Gift Card! Some of these very tempting options include:

• Spa treatment of choice
• Dinner (in-room dining or restaurant; alone or with a friend)
• One-night accommodation
• Breakfast in bed
• Late check-out (spend the morning at the fitness center or relaxing in bed)

“Once rested, rewarded and rejuvenated, moms can embrace even more fully the joys of being a mom,” says Susan Helstab, Executive Vice President Marketing.

With 83 hotels in 35 countries (and more than 40 properties under development), Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts are the perfect destination whether you are traveling across country or just across town. And the Four Seasons Gift Card is the perfect gift for the women in your life on this Mother’s Day! Why not pick-up two gift cards and treat yourself and your mom, best friend, or sister to a Mom’s Night Away? Indulge…..you deserve it!

We would like to give one of you a chance to experience some pampering from the Four Seasons! As we continue to celebrate motherhood with our Mother’s Day Giveaway, we would like to give one of you a $300 Four Seasons Gift Card! That’s a lot of pampering!!!
