April showers are over and May is here ready to give us our flowers!

May always feels super busy for me, and this year is no different. But, like every other month, I always make time to do something for myself. I’ve learned the hard way that the adage, “You can’t pour from an empty cup” is accurate.

The month of May is also when I feel a renewed interest in focusing on my parenting, and reflecting on my relationships with the women in my life. The warmer weather and longer days also motivate me to prioritize my health and wellbeing. 

I’ve put together a list of daily prompts for the month of May that are created to help you prioritize yourself as well, and to remember to honor the incredible moms who make our lives so special.

Whether you’re a mom or not, make May your month with this list of things to do for you in May.
