Aww shucks!

We moms at YML should start a First Moms Movement so we can be so much more to those we love. I love and need my little spot and the girl power get-togethers. I take that good energy home with me to the fam.

@Execumama, now that’s the life I’m talking about right there!

I’m happy you were able to find this escape. I’m sure sooo many moms could benefit from this.

I make use of downtime at work to have some mommytime, whether it be reading fantastic blogs like this one or mentally vegging out in a happy daydream.

I really like this! its very vare that I ever get to have “mommytime”. As a mother of a 2 year old life gets really hectic and routine, for my alone time I like to either watch a show without the chaos around me just me cozy on the couch

@Meg – I know it’s harder for single moms. I get that completely. That’s why I said it didn’t have to be some extravagant outing. Just some time for you. I think single moms (whose minds and bodies must be ON 100% of the time) need it most, so I encourage you to do whatever you can! Every little bit helps.

My happy consists of the 15 mins from work to home! It’s really tough to find time for just me, but I will try my best! It’s a great idea – it’s just tough when you are single mom and you have to rely on baby sitters and preschools!

Ahem, pardon my slang, but um…you ain’t said nuthin’ but a word!! I try to do this at least once a month. Since Kris and I work from home, we pack up our beloved laptops, oh, and our daughters too (he he!), and we head to our local bookstore, stop at the in-house Starbucks, then he grabs his comic books (yep, he’s a grown up who loves comic books!), and takes the girls over to the kiddie section to read and play while I stay clear across the other end of the store, Venti Decaf Soy Caramel Macchiato, extra caramel in hand, laptop in front of me, and magazines on top of the laptop because I have to chill for a while before I get to my writing!

So glad other sister-mommies are doing this too. A much needed reprieve from our beautiful chaos.
