The Hot Mom Challenge

Have you gotten stuck in a Mom Jean rut?  Do you put your hair in a boring old pony tail everyday?  Have you made yoga pants a part of your wardrobe and not just for yoga?  Are you feeling like you don't do enough for yourself?  Me too and I'm ready for a change!

Last week I told you about leaving the house in my hot pink and hearts pajama pants.  I realize that one of the things I have been lacking in my like is feeling like a hot, put together Mom on a consistent basis.  I know I can dress up my jeans and still clean up messes and go to the park if I make the choice.  I always feel so much better when I do.  I want to make me and my appearance a priority.  

Since May is the month for Mom's I thought a Hot Mom Challenge was appropriate for this month.  So here's the rules.  

Every day in the month of May I will:

• Get dressed before I take the kids to school
• Put make-up on, at the very least mascara and lip gloss.
• Wear at least 1 coordinating piece of jewelry or accessory, my wedding ring doesn't count
• Fix my hair, even if I put it up it needs to be cute
• No sweatpants or yoga pants are allowed (unless I'm sweating on purpose or doing yoga)
• At the minimum keep my toe nails looking great with fresh polish once a week and at least clear polish on my fingers.  

That's me after getting my hair done for the first time in forever.  My husband had never seen me with it straight (I have really curly hair) and most of my friends couldn't recall seeing me with straight hair either.  It really sparked wanting to take care of me and making it a priority.  You always hear that you have to take care of yourself first to be able to take care of others.  It's true.  Lets's start today!  Won't you join me in The Hot Mom Challenge?  Together we can feel awesome about ourselves.  I'll be posting weekly about my progress and I hope you'll join me!
