Date night! Does the thought of going out, alone, with your spouse, cross your mind? Sure it does! Remember, we all used to do it. Dating. The getting dressed up. Going to a movie, a play, dancing. Oh, nostalgia!

After kids though, about the only time for date night is somewhere between 2 and 4 am. So, does sleep count? Why is it that we can plan a playdate with the deft touch of a ninja yet when it comes to date night it’s as if we’re unable to even read a calendar?

I am the featured blogger on Enough Time Moms today and I’d love if you’d share your thoughts on date night!

When was the last time you got dressed, did your hair and put on makeup. Just because it was Tuesday? Not because you had to be somewhere, just because you felt like it. Remember those days where it was’t a chore?

I go through phases where I dress as if I’m going to an office job, rather than just working at home. Sure, I do errands and meet people most days. But the idea of ‘glitz and glamour’ is more like a special occasion than every day. Really, though, shouldn’t it be about looking and feeling our best?

I’d love to hear your thoughts on Glitz and Glamour after motherhood.

Maybe we think we’re being selfish when we’re doing something for ourselves? Unfortunately, selfish has such a negative connotation that many of us run in the opposite direction when we have the opportunity for a little self-indulgence. Little things, like a bubble bath or a nice piece of chocolate instead of the ninety-nine cent bag of crappy chocolate that’s just ‘good enough’.

Join me over at Enough Time Moms today where I’m sharing about being self-indulgent. Being a mom has amazing rewards, some of which we don’t reap until many years later. Besides rewarding ourselves, doing these little things sends a very powerful message to our children that it’s OK to do things for yourself.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on what little self indulgences you have (or, why, like me, you put everyone else first and don’t think doing for yourself is a priority).
