Being a Mom is a 24/7 job and (even though we should)ย we often don’t take time for ourselves, to enjoy the things that spark our inner passions and creativity. There don’t seem to be enough hours in the day for self-care or me time. For all of you mamas who are feeling like this, I’ve got one piece of advice for you…
Schedule time for yourself.
Actually put it on the calendar… block it off and don’t let anything supercede it!
I know, I know… you’re going to say it’s impossible. It can’t be done.
But I’m here to tell you that it IS possible, even if it’s only for 15 minutes!
And, just like you’re more apt to work out when you’re paying a trainer for their time, I’m a firm believer that you need to invest in yourself in order to take self-care seriously.
So, I’ve got the perfect thing for all of you – Sweet Reads!
What is Sweet Reads?
Sweet Reads is a Canadian subscription service that sends a box full of goodies right to your door each month. I love the fact that each one is thoughtfully curated. In addition to the monthly novel (chosenย from a top bestseller list), each box includes a drink, a sweet treat and a fun accessory or two, with each itemย being connected to the book in some way. And,ย every product is high quality…no dollar store items here!
Here’s what was in the January box…
What’s great about a subscription service is that you don’t have to think about it; a box arrives every month – just for you! It’s the perfect reason to carve 15 minutes out of every day for yourself. You can settle in with a cup of tea, a sweet treat and your book.
Even if you’re in the bathroom. With the door locked.
Visit the Sweet Reads website to order box for yourself, or a friend (they make fabulous gifts!). February is already sold out, so be sure to place your order in time for the March box! (Remember, you don’t have to worry about pesky exchange rates because Sweet Reads is all-Canadian!!)

I love the thought of expanding my reading genres as I tend to get stuck in one type, plus I much prefer a physical book over an ebook
Iโd love to win a Sweet Reads Box, because I love subscription boxes. Iโve never heard of the Sweet Reads Box though, so I think it would great to try.

This right here is brilliance! As a mom I rarely take time to myself, although I keep telling myself I will. Curling up with a good book and a delicious cup of tea is the most relaxing thing in the world to me! Plus the nice little extras connected to the book. I can’t get over how excellent of an idea this is ! Thank you to whoever thought of this ๐
I haven’t been reading nearly as much as I should.
This would be a great way to relax and have some much needed me time.

I would love to win because I love reading anything with words but currently the best way for me to do that is with e-books or audiobooks so to have a paper book in my hot little paws again would be like catching up with a long lost bud from my childhood!
I think it would be nice to try something new…

Being on mat leave and working regularly as a teacher this stuff would be great for me!
I used to read all the time before my daughter was born. I miss the feel of a good book. Iโm a stay at home mom and I donโt get much me time anymore.
This is a fantastic idea! I would be the mom locked in the bathroom trying to read as much as possible before someone came to find me.
I truthfully used to enjoy reading so much and put it down after having my daughter and now that she is becoming older i have a little bi more spare time so would love to incorporate my love for reading again i also loooove tea

I would love to win this first because it’s a combination of everything I enjoy and second because I have literally never won anything and it would be nice to get a happy moment. The last year has been one bad thing after another so it would be nice to get a little something that will cheer me up. Good luck everyone! xoxoxo
I love reading and I am always on the hunt for the next great story to fall in love with. I think it’s especially important that our kids see us reading to reinforce their interest in learning to read.

This box would be amazing to win because I love to read. I find lately I haven’t been doing much as my 16 month old loves to read titles age appropriate for herself. I’d love to have the opportunity to rescieve a subscription and start reading more often ๐
Subscription boxes are always fun and can make things easier sometimes, whatโs a better gift then a little sweet read and dessert for that overworked mama
It is the first time I personally come across a subscription box that includes a book. It is a great idea. Iโve been trying to find a book club in my area but no luck yet. Life is busy and stressful. This box would brighten my day.
I need to get back into reading. This would be a perfect way to jump back in
