Girls (moms) wanna have fun!

YES, it is ok for us to have fun, to schedule time away from the kids, house, husband, and chores once in a while. 

Time to regroup and recharge is desperately needed yet often overlooked. Getting away from the endless demands of motherhood, even for just two hours, can make us feel like a whole new person.

Here are some things I enjoy doing for a quick, inexpensive recharge.

• Walk the trails by the waterfall with a camera.
• Get a cup of coffee with a friend and look at books
• Paint Night at a friend’s house or craft place
• Pedi
• Sit somewhere quiet and read or write. (bookstore, coffee shop, or lake)

Here are things to do for a well-needed rest & recharge. (If you have coverage for kids & budget allows)

• Women retreat (recharge with Godly women)
• Book an Evening or weekend somewhere new alone or with a girlfriend and explore. Take pictures, shop, pamper yourself, and enjoy the change. (the kids will be ok)
• Concert with friends. Laughter is medicine for the soul. There is nothing like dinner and a show with good friends.

The bottom line is no matter how small the break is, take it. Give yourself the time to refocus and breathe. Your family will appreciate the renewed you. You won’t regret it.
