1.) Go shopping. You’d be surprised how relaxing it is to leave your baby with Dad and head to the grocery store.

2.) Exercise. This one pays dividends beyond the hour or so you spend at the gym.

3.) Go to a movie. Be careful though—once the lights go down, don’t be surprised if your eyes grow droopy!

4.) Go to lunch with girlfriends. Fellow mothers, in particular, will understand the need to get out for an afternoon.

5.) Garden. This is something you can do with your baby next to you in a stroller. FavorFavorBaby.com even offers plantable baby shower favors – give them to guests and keep some for your baby’s first spring planting!
