Last week we looked at a "Mom" topic - this week will be a "Me" topic. We're all able to be better moms (and friends, and daughters, and sisters, and wives, and so forth) when we're acknowledging and honoring who we are as individual women, apart from all our other roles. In the weeks to come, we'll explore many "Me" aspects of our lives, in hopes of finding more balance in the non-parenting realm.
Where better to start than with a little FUN! This is one of the most easily overlooked areas for many moms, because we're usually so busy taking care of everyone else that we can forget how important it is to take care of us too. And generally, if we don't make the time for ourselves, no one is going to do it for us.
Take a minute and think about the things you really love to do that have nothing to do with your kids. Spending time with friends? Scrapbooking? Taking a nap? Going to a movie? Reading a book (and no, Goodnight Moon doesn't count)?...
