If you’re anything like a lot of girlies out there, you CAN wait, but the thought of becoming a mom one day brings you true joy. You imagine the sweet moments with your little ones, the giggles, the cuddles, and everything in between. But let’s be real — as much as motherhood is beautiful, it can also be all-consuming. And every mama knows that sometimes, you just need a break.
So, when you’re deep into the world of motherhood and find yourself needing some “me time,” here are three solo date ideas that will help you recharge and remind you of the woman you are: mommy and more.
Quiet Massage
- It doesn’t matter what stage of motherhood that you’ll be in, I know that body will probably be aching
- So, take yourself out on a solo message date that is going to rejuvenate your body that shows up for your precious kid(s)each day
- It being a quiet one is important because it allows you to think, reflect, and escape from the chaos that awaits
Shopping Spree
- Moms tend to put their needs last, constantly putting their children’s wants and needs first.
- While that’s a beautiful thing, it’s also important to remember that you matter too. You deserve to feel good about yourself and treat yourself with the same love and care you give to others.
- So, grab a coffee, throw on something cute and comfy, and head out for a shopping spree — just for you.
- don’t even go to the kids section (ok just a little peak, the clothes are so cute and tiny!)
- Treat yourself to something you’ve been eyeing, something that makes you feel like the beautiful, confident woman you are.
- Whether it’s a new outfit, some fresh skincare products, or even a cute accessory, this solo date is all about pampering yourself and filling your cup.
Your Favorite Hobby
