Friday night I took myself on a date! A little backstory…I had plans with a friend that fell through, I already had the babysitter lined up for a couple hours so I thought why not take a little time and do something different!

I want to start this by saying that I love nothing more about my life than being a Mom, being the person who gets to kiss the boo-boos and snuggle in the middle of the night when my daughter can’t sleep. I love the days where she only wants to be together so I set her up with snacks on the counter or carry her around on my hip while I cook supper, I even love sharing snacks and bites of my supper, because I know there will come a day where she won’t want to be glued to my side anymore…or I physically won’t be able to carry her around on my hip! haha

But for one night for just two hours it was also nice to just walk the aisles of Winners looking at Christmas stuff and trying on clothes without having to multi-task, it was nice to sit in silence in a restaurant and enjoy a hot meal all to myself that I didn’t have to share and it was nice to take an hour to relax and get a massage on a Friday night. If you haven’t tried an evening like this before I highly recommend treating yourself at some point. And know that you can be absolutely in love with your life but also just need a couple minutes to yourself!
