Works-for-me-Wednesday

Inspired by Shannon over at Rocks in My Dryer, I thought I'd share what's been working for me lately.

Exercise.

I hate to do it, but the benefits are so numerous that I have found a way to trick myself into doing it--peer pressure and cheap babysitting! God bless Janna from our MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) group. She holds a Pilates class on Mondays and a Cardio-Kickboxing/Hip-Hop class on Thursdays at our church. If I'm motivated enough, I will load up the kiddos and the portable swing into the Chariot and walk about 10 minutes to the church. I drop Nate off at the nursery for an hour of play with other preschoolers. I take Abby to the class and she either keeps sleeping in the Chariot or wakes up and eats and then goes into the swing. I get to exercise and laugh with other moms, which does wonders for my mental and physical health. Then we pack up and walk home and have lunch. Even better, it only costs $1. Works for me!
