Mommie Day Out

I often hear parents refer to date night with a smile and a sigh of relief. I so understand the sigh! What parent doesn't need time away from the kids? And a date night is helpful for the whole family. Well, being a single parent I don't have date nights. My Friday Nights are Movie nights, our new Game night is Saturday, and school nights are never good for going out. This being said, I have to remember the importance of a Mommie day out. When I have a moment to just be me and think without interruption I feel refreshed. I need time away from the little ones, away from the house, away from work...I need time to just be.

Single parents may not always have the options to get out and take time for themselves but if the opportunity arises please, take it. If we take care of ourselves we can better take care of those we love most!

This week try to schedule a Mommie Day Out and enjoy something you really like doing without kids!
