One of the books I have been working on this season is called The Life Organizer: A Woman's Guide to a Mindful Year by Jennifer Louden. It is absolutely beautiful inside and out...It's all about learning to make time in your life to follow your heart and navigate your dreams.

Well, it just so happens that Jennifer is a skipper too! Check out this excerpt from a recent article she was featured in...

Jennifer Louden, women's lifestyle expert and author of "The Life Organizer: A Woman's Guide to a Mindful Year" and other best-selling books for women, suggests that moms try something different to combat burnout-her personal favorite is skipping around her neighborhood with her daughter and dog for 10-15 minutes. But if you are looking for an activity that won't leave your neighbors questioning your sanity, Louden suggests playing a game.

After describing some of the fun games that are on the market today, the article ends like this...

So listen up, you "supermoms," you've heard it before: It is time to take a "time-out"-today, tomorrow and every day thereafter. Soak in a bubble bath, skip around the yard or sit down to play a casual game. With a little consistency, you'll realize immediate benefits and thank yourself for taking the time to ensure that your mind and body are renewed. You might even be admired by friends and family for being brave enough to actually take care of yourself.

So skip on Jennifer...and Super Mom's everywhere! Life is short let's get out there and have some fun.

Thanks for blogging about the book and my skipping Kim -- I'm all for anything that gets your body to help lighten your mood. I've always loved skipping (I have a hard time standing or sitting still!) but I never would have thought to mention it when interviewed if it weren't for you!!
