Enjoy being a mom with time for you!
Our time as a mom goes by so quickly! Finally, we get a break our children and we love looking at those darling photos of them. We love keepsake gifts that remind us of those special moments in life as a mom.
I can't believe how quickly the days go by. We have to remember to cherish this special time with our little ones. Today my daughter celebrated her third birthday. It seems like just yesterday my water broke and we were off to the hospital.
When raising children some days are a little more challenging than others. Those are the times, I find, when it helps to take a few minutes for myself to look in my mom's journal and cherish the special moments of days gone by, moments when I would have been tearing my hair out if I hadn't been laughing so hard.
I highly encourage you also to take a few minutes each day to celebrate your time as a mom.
Here are a few ideas for ways to spend your mom time:
As moms, we have to remember to take a few minutes for ourselves, even if we are just reminiscing or sharing stories with other moms.
Here are a few ways for you to celebrate being a mom:
Mom Time: Dinner with Friends
My favorite mom time activity is to have dinner with a few close friends. Last month we went to a grown-up restaurant with table cloths. We were all so excited - no crayons!
It was a lot of fun! We had a group of seven women and it was a night of great conversation. We are looking forward to getting together again this month.
So plan your own dinner with friends. Pick a restaurant, set a time to meet, send out an e-mail
to your friends and celebrate your mom's night out with great company and conversation. I hope you enjoy your nights out as much as we enjoy ours.
Mom Time: Book Club
Do you enjoy reading? Start a book club with a few friends!
Arrange for your book club to meet on a certain day every month (the first Friday of every month for example). Take turns picking a book. This will give you a chance to discover books and authors that you would not normally choose.
Take turns hosting the book club. Provide some appetizers and treats and enjoy a night of stimulating conversation with your mom friends.
Mom Time: Have a manicure or pedicure
Plan a time to have a manicure or a pedicure with a friend or by yourself. Sit back, relax and enjoy being pampered after chasing your favorite little people around all day.
Mom Time: Join a Mom Pack
Looking for a group of online friends that will always be there for you? Join the Mom Pack! If you enjoy getting lots of e-mail or you are are looking for support or if you want to help others, this is the place for you.
The Mom Pack offers networking, advice, and support for each other. The moms offer prayers and suggestions. It is always nice to welcome a new member to the group and a great way to meet new people.
Mom Time: Make a Scrapbook
Looking for a craft project that you can do by yourself or with your other mom friends? Make a scrapbook of your children's first years or a family album to remember a special trip.
Whether with a group of moms or by yourself, you will enjoy creating this special book to share and remember those special moments. Just pull out your scrap booking supplies and photos!
You will enjoy creating your own personal keepsake to remember those special moments. This is a great opportunity for you to release your creative talents.
Mom Time: Have a home party
Are you looking to earn free products and shop from the convenience of your own home? Host a home party!
These are a lot of fun. Invite your friends for a night of shopping and conversation. Just serve a few appetizers and let your friends shop while they socialize.
Everyone will enjoy their mom's night out and the opportunity to purchase their favorite products in the comfort of your home.
