De-Stressing!

Celebrating the ways we de-stress!

April is national Stress Month, so this week, we thought we’d celebrate the ways we de-stress ourselves. To add to the fun, we all tried to find ways to use distressed elements in our pages too!

A long winter can certainly drain a person, especially when you have to drive through snow and ice. Cassandra (Mommybruno) shared: "One of the ways I de-stress after a long, miserable winter is by listening to the peeper frogs at night when I’m in bed. I couldn’t find a cute frog to use, so I made one using PP and my cookie cutter tool (the body is an apple!). TFL!"

Supercharged by janello

When you’re a mom, life can get pretty stressful, but one of the best ways to take hold of life is by watching your children and their carefree ways. Janello loved looking at life through her son, Sean’s, eyes.

CALGON, TAKE ME AWAY! Getting away from it all and spending time with your family is a great way to de-stress. Angie wrote: "What better way to "DE-STRESS’ than to spend a couple of days at the Great Wolf Lodge! Me & the kids went and had a BLAST…can’t wait to go back!"

Turkish Baths by Keling

How do I like to relax? Well, there’s nothing better than a day at the Turkish Baths whenever I’m in England. DH introduced me to the baths in Harrogate, which date back more than 100 years. Who wouldn’t love the hot and cold pools, sauna and steam rooms, followed by a fabulous massage!
