Mom Time
I don’t have to tell you all that motherhood is a demanding, exhausting, 24/7 job. You know; you’re in the trenches! I just want to take a minute to remind you to take some mom time once in awhile. It’s so important to recharge and have some time for ourselves. With three kids, I know how hard it is to carve out any long length of time for myself, though. So I at least try to have simple little mom time “escapes” as often as I can. Here’s some ideas for how you can “escape,” Mama…
10 Ways to Escape for Some Mom Time
- Read A Magazine. (And NOT a parenting one!)
- Call A Friend.
- Enjoy A Cup of Coffee.
- Take A Shower!
- Try A New Recipe.
- Draw or Doodle.
- Turn On Some Tunes.
- Try a Yoga Pose or Two.
- Get Lost Online. (Can you say “PINTEREST?!”)
- Enjoy a Sweet Treat.
A “Sweet Escape” with DOLE Fruit Parfaits
I can get a little carried away with that last tip sometimes. (Let’s just say I have a close relationship with chocolate…) So I’m excited that I’ve found a lighter “sweet treat” in the new DOLE Fruit Parfaits. They feature a creamy layer topped with natural sweet fruit and are low fat and cholesterol free; sign me up! You can get DOLE Fruit Parfaits in three flavors: Pineapple and Cème, Apples and Crème, and Peaches and Crème. You can find more information and connect with DOLE through their website, on Facebook, and on Twitter.

Just remember that the escape mom activities have to be done “without” the kids in order for it to be a real escape
True, true! I wish that were possible more often!
My runs are a way of getting mom time for me. I can go at my own pace and think things through, or not, depending on the route I take.

I’m so envious. I’m not in good enough shape *yet* to be a runner.
