I don’t relax a whole lot. On top of the fact that it seems like I was born running, I just don’t have much time available to relax.

But last week, I told you about the fabulous Scripture coloring & journaling that I’ve discovered (mostly because it arrived in my mailbox).

Well, in just a few days, I’ve established a new routine for about 15 minutes each morning that is just lovely. While I have my tea, I paint a small section of my Live Free book by Margaret Feinberg. Each coloring spread has a verse, so I read the chapter the verse comes out of, then write a verse in the journal section from the passage that contains that verse. I work on memorizing the verse while I paint. The next day, I paint another small section and write an additional verse from the same passage, re-reading the same chapter. I’m memorizing passages of Scripture, and I’ve found an enjoyable creative outlet. We do Bible Road Trip, so I read the Bible later in the morning with the kids, and we also have family worship in the evening with my husband, but this is just time for me to relax and think on the Word of God.

My good friend Tauna of Proverbial Homemaker and I decided more moms need to relax–even if it’s just for 15 minutes a day–and we’d like to help. We’ve put together this Mom’s Relaxation Kit to encourage you to take just a little time to put your hair up, soften your hands, pour a cup of tea, apply (or diffuse) some essential oils, read the Bible and color or paint.

The giveaway has ended, but that doesn’t need to stop you from relaxing! Check out these great mom’s relaxation gifts and pick out something special for you or a friend!

Alright, let’s help you relax, shall we?

Mom’s Relaxation Giveaway has ended ~ Subscribe to hear about the next one!

I’ve had a few questions about giveaway entries lately, so I’ll explain up front. This is an electronic raffle. For each entry point, you get a certain number of electronic raffle tickets. At the end, the computer draws the winner from an electronic bowl (that’s not the precise legalize, and it’s really not technically correct, but you get the picture). So, if you don’t have an Instagram account, no big deal. Just enter for as many “tickets” as you’re able–each entry increases your chance of winning the giveaway.
