Don’t worry, you aren’t the only one who goes days without showering and my son is nearly a year old. I can’t believe I didn’t think to add this to my own New Year Resolution list but I am remedying that problem as we speak. Great idea on the making goals throughout the year too. Something to look forward to and reach for, which is a must when making resolutions! :)

I was kind of in the same place you are at the 10 month mark. My LO is 2 now, so I just wanted to add that it gets easier! It DOES make a difference for me to get showered and dressed in the morning, but I have majorly modified my routine from what it used to be. :) One thing that may help is showering with your LO. At 10 mos. he should be okay in a baby bathtub or a big bucket set on the floor of your tub. We have the Hoppbop tub, but I have used a $2 tub from Walmart before and it works just as well!

This is such a great list! I’m such a proponent of getting dressed every day. It makes such a difference in my mentality. (And the ability to get outside at a moment’s notice.) I can’t wait to see your mommy-style posts either!

This is great! I’m especially excited to see your mommy style updates, especially after seeing the outfit you put together for yourself to wear to your LO’s birthday!

This is a great list. During my maternity leave, I quickly fell into the habit of staying in workout pants, no shower and no make up. I have returned to work, but still work from home 2 days a week and I alwasy try get out of my pajamas on those days and I will at least put on some face cream but not a full face of make up. My newest love…. BB cream. Covers like foundation and has some added benefits. My favorite is from Sephora/Stila but you can also get some from a drug store:

Great list BUT- I would shower every day if I were you. Even the busiest of mommies have two minutes to jump in the shower and scrub down with a bar of soap. Hair washing every other day (or even every three days) is perfectly acceptable. :) But it’s amazing how even that little quickie shower can make you feel like a new woman.
