Serena Williams: Now I spend my extra time with my daughter.

For , being a mother is an extra motivation. The American player often openly speaks about it and through a Facebook post she commented on how her life changed since becoming a mum of a daughter called Olympia in September 2017.

This week, my S stands for Serena. My Serena S Melbourne shirts are limited and available online, said Serena. #ThisMama realized last week I had not had a proper pedicure since before I had Olympia (I now paint my own nails fun but not as relaxing).

She is 16 months now!!! I used to go every week as a way to relax. It was literally my favorite thing to do. But ever since I had the baby, I feel overwhelmed with guilt if I want to take Serena time. As a working mom, I feel like my extra time should be spent with my daughter.

I have been told a million times (and even by you all) to take care of myself so I can take care of my child. I hear it, but its harder to put into practice as a first time mom. Do any of you ever experience mom guilt? Stresses of life can really get to you and I finally decided to take the first step in doing something for me.

So every Saturday or Sunday I try to take time to do something for me (even if its just an hour). So to my fellow moms and dads out there: dont forget to give yourself a little love too. ALSO READ: Rafael Nadal: Worse players than David Ferrer won a Grand Slam title
