The hustle and bustle of the holiday season has really been taking its toll lately.
As you can imagine, I don’t get a whole lot of “me” time as a mom of five, so I’ve learned to work in short bursts of relaxation when I can throughout the day to prevent myself from being overwhelmed by everything.
One of my favorite methods for relaxation lately is just taking a few minutes to listen to Seal’s latest CD, Soul. I close my eyes and just become one with the music, and after about 15 minutes I’ve regained most of my sanity and am ready to tackle life head on again.
Soul features eleven classic soul songs, and I truly feel like there’s something here for everyone. If you’d like to hear a taste, just check out the widget in my sidebar!
One lucky Deal Seeking Mom reader will win a copy of Soul so he or she can kick back and relax a little, and as an added bonus, you’ll receive these great little Lego iPod speakers from Delight.com. (I’m so jealous of these – I think they’re just adorable!)
If you’re not familiar with Delight.com:
Think of Delight.com as a unique boutique that stocks the perfect gift for everyone on your list. Delight features eco-friendly tote bags, gadgets for guys, kitchen gear that is smart and saves time, travel essentials, one-of-a-kind baby gifts, stocking stuffers for holiday gift shopping and unique jewelry and décor accessories with most under $50.
So tell me how do you unwind after a rough day? Can you tell when you haven’t been taking enough time for yourself? How have your learned to make time? I know I struggle with this, so I would assume a lot of you do as well, and I’m looking forward to you sharing your tips.

I like to play games on Pogo after a stressful day!
I like to take a long bubble bath, light some candles and drink some hot tea after a long stressful day. Thanks for the giveaway!
Read or call a friend=)
Oh, wow, Seal is amazing! To relax, I usually get myself a hot cup of coffee or chai tea, grab a good book, turn on some very low, very soulful music, and read for a bit. What a great way to rejuvenate and refresh.
thank you so much for sharing

The most relaxing thing for me is a nice hot shower.
Once I get home from work I will get my iPod and walking shoes and go out for at least an hour long walk to unwind and relax after a difficult day. Not only is it great exercise but definitely helps me to relieve the stress of the day.
When my husband gets home, he graciously lets me go back to our room and lay down on our bed and read and relax and have some quiet for about a half an hour to an hour. It’s great, really…a half an hour and I am back and ready to make dinner!
I love to sit in the computer room in my comfy chair and drink hot tea and read a girlie/fun magazine ALONE!!!
I like to sit down and read a good book or scrapbook my pictures.
Each quarter I’m taking an evening class I really enjoy. I’m away from home, talk about something else than my kid and learn a lot of new things about the thing I’m passionate about, photography.
After the kids all go to bed, I’ll make a nice, hot cup of decaf tea and curl up on the couch with a magazine or a book.
A bathtub full of steaming hot water and scented bubbles, a glass of wine, a nice escape novel, and some soft music. Ahhh, nothing like it.
Hi unwind my difficult day by going out on a long romantic drive with my dearest hubby and i dont cook on that day ( a nice excuse :) )
At the end I put the children to bed and quickly pick up the front area of the house. Then I sit on the couch for a minute and think of all the wonderful things we accomplished for the day. Then I either watch a t.v. show, finish a craft, scrapbook or spend my time checking out this site and take time to really find the deals I want.

A bubble bath with a glass of red wine on the side. Even if kids are screaming in the house/ I’m in my happy place!
A glass of white wine and a Sade cd always helps me unwind after a long and hard day at the office!

Glass of wine, good book, and a hot bubble bath.

I have a beer and watch a good movie.
veg out in front of the tv
I like to relax with a good book and a warm cup of tea.
I pop the ipod into their speakers, turn on some Train or some guitar blues, lock the door and jump into a tub of scented water as hot as I can stand it. By the time the water is getting cold, I’m calm and relaxed and ready to face the world again.
I am not very good at this, but a few of my favorite ways to unwind are exercise (if it is warm outside), a nice hot uninterrupted bath (which the uninterrupted part never happens, or just reading a book or watching TV. Sometimes I like to clean. If I’m stressed enough I can clean the whole house in just a few hours and then I feel doubly better.
Thanks for the contest.
Emily Albrecht´s last blog post..Another giveaway.
i take a hot bath witth a good book, a tall glass of wine, and soft music inthe background
I grab the dog and we both go for a long walk-I tend to sort things out as I’m walking.
I play with my kids and think about the blessings in my life!
Once the kids are in bed I sit in my comfy recliner with a good book and some chocolates. Thanks for the contest!
I play on the computer for awhile after the kids go to sleep and read all of my blog emails! And if it’s been a really really bad day, I add a hard cider to that scenario. Not too often, so when I do I make it count!
I have my husband watch the kids. I take a long warm shower and do the stuff that are hard to squeeze in my day, e.g. doing my nails, etc.
After a difficult day, I love to read a book to relax – usually mysteries or medical or legal thrillers. There’s nothing like a great book to “take you away” for a while!
I like to take a bubble bath in a dark room with a lot of candles burning and soft music playing!
I like to veg in front of the computer (imagine that :) or read a book. Sometimes an episode of I Love Lucy is in order.

If it’s right when I get home, after hellos/kisses/etc, I turn on a cartoon and sit to read the paper.
I have a cup a tea and talk over my day with my husband. He helps me put everything into perspective.
I love to sit down with a good book. iclipalso(at)yahoo(dot)com
Hot shower following a hard run.
Ok so I admit my unhealthy way to unwind is having some ice cream at night when everyone is asleep.Just me my laptop and the boobtube. I look up allo the ways I can save during the week.And watch a littls something.
I like to read a book or watch a favorite TV show.
Don’t get a chance to do it very often, but a hot bubble bath with some scented candles and a good book are my favorite way to unwind and relax. Thanks!
I like to shut the bedroom door and blast my christian cds….so unwinding, refreshing and inspirational.
I love to sit and watch a movie with my hubby and sometimes sneek in a margarita!
Mellisa swigart´s last blog post..
I take a bubble bath every evening with no interruptions. Sometimes I play relaxing music. Everyone knows it’s “mommy time” and I am never disturbed.
I ask my husband to take the kids out and will sit and watch a chick flick alone!!!
