Carving out some time each day for yourself can be quite challenging. But what most people don’t understand is that it does not need to be several hours, several minutes will do just fine. Reading is my favorite way to take a few minutes to myself, and it’s usually accompanied by a delicious treat like OREO Thins. OREO Thins are crisp, delicate, and really put a new spin on your classic OREO. We picked up a package at Kroger to try, and we’ve been loving them!
5 Easy Ways to Make Time for Yourself Each Day
- Do the dishes: I know this sounds a little crazy, but finding time is as simple as taking a look at things you need to get done each day, and figuring out how to make those tasks as enjoyable as possible. For me, taking out my phone, turning on the country Pandora station and getting my hands into the warm water of the sink is so relaxing! It makes doing the dishes so much more, dare I say, fun! I sing along to my favorite songs and dance around the kitchen!
- Walk the Dogs: Exercise is a great way to unwind after a long day, and our pups love to go for walks. Sometimes after the boys go to bed, the hubby stays home and I head out to the neighborhood with both dogs in tow for a nice relaxing walk. I also love to wear my headphones and listen to some relaxing music, it sets the mood for down time and when I get back home I take a quick shower and feel so refreshed!
- Read before bed: Like I mentioned previously, one of my favorite ways to relax is to read. It transports you to this whole other magical place without you even having to leave your home. My favorite are design books and inspirational books. It really depends on the day, but if my work day is over and I’m feeling a bit down, I love to pick up one of my inspirational books and re-fill my cup for the next day. It works wonders, and it’s even better with a handful of OREO Thins.
- Take a Relaxing Bath: Turn bath time into a relaxing time by creating a spa atmosphere in your bathroom. Fill the tub with warm water, add some bubbles, light a candle, and get out your phone to play some music. After your little ones are in bed and the house is quiet, take a few minutes to soak in the tub and just relax. Deep breathing exercises are a great way to release stress and unwind.
- Sit outside: After a long day, your head can be filled with lingering chatter and thoughts. It’s nice to get outside, and get some fresh air. We have a chair and side table on our front porch and sometimes I love to just make some coffee or iced tea and sit outside in the quiet. After the boys go to bed it’s usually just a little past 7pm and the neighborhood is quiet and calm. It’s not too dark out, and the sky is beginning to relax and prepare itself for night. It’s such a lovely time, and perfect for getting a few minutes of calm.
Next time you’re at Kroger, be sure to pick up some yummy OREO Thins to enjoy during your “me” time each day! We love Kroger because we can always find everything we need from diapers to food, all in one spot! Find the OREO Thins in the cookie aisle! To find a Kroger near you, head here!

How do YOU make time for yourself each day?
Love this post? Pin it for later here:
This is so funny, but I always go to the basement and fold laundry when I need some peace from the kiddos! No one is coming down there to help!
I love sitting outside when the weather is nice. I also try to go for a walk every evening. I love a preps but have not tried the thins yet.
Wow these really are easy ways to make time for yourself withhold spending too much cash and without needing too much time. I love the idea of taking time just for myself using these tips!
I think these are really good ideas. Sometime I really do need a few minutes to myself so I can think.
I love that time just after the kids go to bed when I can have a little me time reading or watching one of my shows, with a nice snack. {client}
Yum. I haven’t tried these yet! I also don’t really make time for myself everyday, which i really need to especially right now with it being summer and 247 with my kiddos!
I love to read before bed but before long I fall asleep! I like making time for myself by working out.
These are great ideas. It’s important to have time for yourself. I need to have a few minutes of alone time to keep my sanity.
I lock myself in my office when I want to get away from everyone. That’s where I find my peace and quiet. I always take a little snack, too. The Oreos would be a good one.
I need to take time out for myself. Those oreos look amazing.
I feel like I never take time for myself and eventually it catches up to me. When I do, I like to go thrift shopping alone or watch one of the shows no one in the house likes so I get left alone lol!
Great suggestions!!! I’m all about the baths and reading! Two of my favorite me time activities!
Me and Oreo’s don’t get along, I make time for me by reading a book or heading to the gym
I’m with you on everything except for the washing dishes – I really hate dishes. I still have yet to try those new Oreos so will have to grab them the next time I’m grocery shopping.
I try to get a little Netflix time at night or some music in the morning. These Oreo thins aresoooo delicious!
Oh yummmmm. I want to try these oreo thins… They look so great! Also I like your little wood slice serving tray is adorable!
I love Oreo. One of my all time favorite snacks since I was a kid until now. Yum!
Oreos are definitely part of my me time. I love dessert!
With 5 kiddos I wait until after they are in bed. I’ll go sit on the back porch and by the garden. The nights are still pretty warm here and it is so peaceful!
Oreos are the one cookie to make time for!
