Your Good Mood Recipes

We asked, and you delivered. In December, our monthly contest topic was “What is your recipe for good mood?” and you answered us in droves. I decided to compile some of the best of the bundle (they were all pretty good, though) and I’m showcasing them here.

• 2 kisses and hugs good morning from my girls
• 1 purring snuggle from my cat
• 1 warm shower w/ lavender shower gel
• 1 fluffy towel from the dryer
• 10 min of music while driving
• Deep breathing and stretching at work home again....

-Christine

• 1 chilly rainy evening
• 1 romantic novel
• 1 hot lavender scented bubble bath loads of candles finish off with a big cuddly robe, a snuggle from hubby and a big purr and snuggle from your favorite furkid

Recipe for a good mood (from a stay-at-home mom with 3 boys, all under 4 years old):

• Smiling little boys, waking up with happy hearts and a hug for Mama;
• Nice little boys, playing well together;
• Sleepy little boys, napping quietly for at least an hour;
• Silly little boys, being their goofy selves;
• Hungry little boys, eating what Mama made for you;
• Inquisitive little boys, finding out how things work;
• Lovely little boys, giving me and Papa kisses;
• Nighty-night, little boys. We had a fun, yet peaceful day. Whew! Let's try that again tomorrow!

My recipe for a good mood:

• 1) Waking up early in the mornings to enjoy a nice cup of coffee in silence!!
• 2) Listening to music while cooking! Kids laugh watching the food dance as its getting prepared!
• 3) ANYTHING CHOCOLATE!!
• 4) Watching a romantic movie (while husband complains that it’s too girly) and watch him tear up at the end!!
• 5) Throwing the ball for our dog (Dixie) to fetch and watch her leap (over the toys in the yard) as if her life depends on it!! So funny!
• 6) Wearing heels!! Something about heels makes you feel sexier!!
• 7) Lathering up with a good smelling sugar vanilla lotion after a warm bath!! So yummy without the calories!

Life can get every stressful as a mother of two (one with special needs). I try to find enjoyment in the simple things. There are some days when the "not-so-good" mood monster takes over but normally those are the days when mommy's hidden chocolate stash has been discovered! LOL
