Monday Moments Week 1 (Starbucks Giveaway)

Posted on March 15, 2010 by Mom

Monday Moments

During the next four weeks we will be featuring Monday Moments here at A Mom’s Impression.  What is a Monday Moment? Monday Moments are a time in the past week that you were able to get away from your hectic schedule and relax, even if it is only for 5 minutes.  Here is my Monday Moment of the week:

It might seem a little cliché, but I rarely get the chance to take a bubble bath uninterrupted for any length of time.  I had a very stressful weekend (that I won’t get detailed about now) and I really needed some time to myself.  I grabbed a glass of wine and BJ’s organic bubble bath and soaked in the tub for a little while.  Eli (our dog) layed down on his bed next to the bathroom to see what I was doing.  Ahhh… I really needed that.

What is one way you relaxed this past week?  Starbucks is giving One (1) lucky reader a prize package just for sharing their personal moment.

Click here for $1 off your next Frappuccino!

STARBUCKS FRAPPUCCINO

Win It:

One (1) lucky winner will receive:
- 4 Starbucks Light Frappaccinos ( 2 Vanilla and 2 Mocha) and a
- $10.00 Starbucks gift-card.

How to Enter:

Every Monday (for the next 4 weeks) you will have a chance to tell me how about your personal relaxing moment of the week on my Monday Moment post.  At the end of the four weeks I will pick one winner (using Random.org) from all of the entries to win the Starbucks prize pack.

So… how did you find time to relax this week?

    I know doing housework to relax sounds odd, but…this week I took some time to wash a few loads and hang them in the sun to dry rather than using the dryer. Slowing down a little to enjoy the sun and the breeze was relaxing, and caring for my clothes in a more mindful manner always makes me appreciate what I have more!

    My relaxation? After my overnight shift (I work 10:15 p.m.-8:15 a.m.), if I’ve had a rough morning, I will wait at the mall for stores to open. Then, go into the Brookstone store and let the fancy massage chair work its magic on aching muscles! Then I go home and sleep, feeling super relaxed! :-)

    It’s Tuesday – no time to relax yet, but tonight I will sit down and watch American Idol.

    It’s relaxing for me to sit down douing my son’s nap, drink a cup of coffee, maybe a piece of chocolate, and watch a little tv:)

    I relax by taking a walk with my dh. We walk to the ice cream parlor and share an ice cream sundae;)

    The kids were on Spring Break & we went to a water park – while the kids were having fun on the slides I was able to read a book!!!
