Sleep Routines...

Hello, muffins. It's good to see you.

Sleep is HUGELY important to me. Many of you know what I sleep on, the pillows I'm obsessed with, and that sometimes I wear that hat up there in the photo. No lie. It keeps the light out!!!! My usual sleep routine is to turn OFF the computer, get a glass of wine, or water, or both, set those on my nightstand, put my phone DOWN (which is huge for me), and sometimes watch a movie. I rarely watch tv in bed because I get wired, but have found in hotels it helps me sleep. And since I live in hotels you gotta do what works ;) I also have lavender pillow/linens spray (how dainty!) that I use when I need an extra boost.

I also have a GENIUS app on my iPhone called Stop, Breathe, & Think. It's a meditation app that you can plug in your current physical & emotional states and it gives you meditations relevant to your mood. Or you just click "Mindful Breathing" for ten minutes like I do and pass the F out in a few minutes. Seriously. It's a game-changer. Look into it.

What are YOUR sleep routines for you and your family? What have you found that works?

More importantly: what is this SLEEP I am talking about??

Oh heeeeeeey....

You see that monitor over there? I've been a long-time fan of Summer Infant baby monitors. In fact, I chose their Baby Touch to give away when I was on Martha Stewart. They continue to make great monitors for every family: some are touchscreen, some connect over wifi so you can SPY ON EVERYONE, and some have a talk-back feature so you can tell your kids to go back to sleep. No matter what you need, Summer Infant will have a monitor for your needs. Check them out by clicking this ad --->

And do you see this ------>

Bourbon for Bedtime

This is easy. I swear. Because your day has been long and you NEED TO RELAX.

Bourbon. As much as you want. Go ahead.
Giant ice cube.
A dash of bitters.
if you want, get fancy and muddle a bit of orange into it. Because citrus and bourbon are bosom buddies.

Drink and enjoy Netflix.
