**I received a free membership and goodies from Massage Envy Spa in exchange for my honest review and opinions. I only work with companies and products that I really love, would actually use myself and feel would benefit my readers! #MEUtah #ReliefStartsRightHere #MassageEnvyUtah **
Happy weekend guys!
I thought I would mention that this sweet little baby of mine is kicking my trash! Ha.
Oh, he is the sweetest thing and most of the time my heart feels like it’s going to explode because I love him so stinkin’ much (sounds cheesy, but it’s true!) He’s also very good natured, doesn’t cry too much and is usually very happy!
However, he hardly ever sleeps….like at all……and I am dy…………….ing! He might take a decent nap about twice a week, but the rest of the time it’s just little cat naps here and there. He also might sleep okay at night a couple times a week, but the rest of the time I’m up several times in the night.
I am a tired lady.
I probably should be a little tougher on him and teach him how to sleep better (i.e. Cry it out, “Ferberize,” Baby Whisperer, etc.), but I’m pretty much a giant softie. Even though I’ve had a bunch of babies before, I feel like a complete “Baby Newb” most of the time. Ha ha. Thankfully, since I HAVE had several babies, I know I WILL sleep again one day and life will resume to normal-ish eventually.
I made up a song that I’ve been singing all week called “The Baby that Never Sleeps” set to the tune of “The Song that Never Ends.” If you’re not familiar with that beautiful tune, here ya go…
You’re welcome.
I’ve pretty much been making the words up as I go and I change it every time I sing it! I’ve been driving my kids crazy because I’m getting them all stuck on this song. Hee hee. I’m so nice.
Anyway, since I’m such a worn out and tired lady, I really wanted to get some good R&R this Mother’s Day weekend. Unfortunately, I still have a lot to get done today, including my last long run before my Half, so I don’t know how much Rest and Relaxation I’ll be getting!
Speaking of R&R, I wanted to tell you guys about my partnership with Massage Envy Spa!
To say I’m excited would be the understatement of the century!
Throughout this next year I will be working with Massage Envy Spa and sharing my experiences and opinions with all of you! Yay!
Last week I went to a fun “Night of Relaxation and Pampering” with several other bloggers and learned all about the services Massage Envy provides. They gave us all a fun goodie bag full of Massage Envy products and coupons….
I was also given a shortened massage (30 minutes) and a wonderful Sugar Foot Scrub.
OH YOU GUYS, I can’t even tell you how much I enjoyed that massage and foot scrub!!! Pure heaven, I tell ya!
First off, it was a very serene and peaceful environment and felt like an escape from the world, which was so nice. I felt very comfortable and seriously DID NOT want to go home….ever!
Throughout the massage, I could feel the tension leave my body and my muscles relax. It made me realize how tense and weary my poor body was! It was such a wonderful stress relief to me and was just what I needed.
The Sugar Foot Scrub was one of the “enhanced therapies” that Massage Envy Spa offers and it was wonderful! My poor feet have taken a beating with all of my running lately, so the foot scrub felt soooooo good.
My massage therapist used hot towels on my back and wrapped my feet up in some and I can’t tell you how good that felt! I seriously just wanted to stay there forever.
I’ve only had a couple massages in my life and it had been a LONG time since I’d had one….well, now I am hooked! I cannot wait to go back again. CAN….NOT….WAIT.
I’m planning on getting a massage a few days after my Half Marathon and I want to try out the “Deep Muscle Therapy” Enhancement too.
That sounds like the perfect thing after a long race! I also CANNOT wait to try out one of their Healthy Skin Facials.
They use Murad Skin Care products and I’ve heard very good things about them. I’ll of course, let y’all know what I think when I try it out!
I’m looking forward to working with Massage Envy Spa this year and feeling the effects of regular massages on my body AND mind. I’m sure it will help this crazy mama stay a little more sane. Ha ha.
I hope you all enjoy the rest of your weekend and I hope all of you moms out there have a fantastic Mother’s Day! xoxo
Happy Mother’s Day to you ! hope your kids spoiled you rotten !
Thanks so much Karen! I had a great day!!!
You always have the cutest baby photos 🙂 I love love Massage Envy. I was secretly hoping to get a GC for Mother’s Day 🙂
Thanks so much Jill! I’m loving Massage Envy and can’t wait to go again….soon!
oh my gosh, he’s Emma in boy form!!! She’s my 4th, but sooooooooo different than the other 3, it’s like she’s my first!! I am such a softie with her, in order for her to take a nap longer than 10 minutes, it’s her in my bed with me next to her.
Ha ha! Maybe it has something to do with having several children! My sweet baby loves to sleep RIGHT next to me too! I secretly love it though. 😉
I’m totally MIA in blog land these days, but I notice a new blog look here! Love it. I also love massages, and am in DIRE NEED of one. Glad you were able to enjoy one!
Thanks Britt! Yes, my poor blog was very overdue for an update. I love massages so much and am looking forward to getting another one after my race!
I know you are partnered with Massage Envy, but at the same time this post was so. ridiculously. real. Thanks for being honest with your readers Mel and not creating the image of *I’ve got it all together all the time*.
Keep pushing on mommy- I feel ya!
<3 Ashley
Thanks so much Ashley! I’m glad to know I’m not alone. The life of a mother is tough, but amazing!
I need a massage so so so bad! I love how relaxing they are!
Coops is a pretty good sleeper. He takes long naps and sleeps mostly through the night. The problem is I go to bed way too late!
Oh, I’m so happy for you that your baby is a good sleeper! My baby has good and bad days, but I also stay up too late. Those late hours when the house is finally quiet are so therapeutic to me!
We have Massage Envy in San Diego as well! I love my membership–massages are even better when you are sore from a good workout!
