Having nights away alone, weekends away and longer if possible! Due to our kids' additional needs my husband and I aren't able to go away together but I Iove thr times I get by myself. Every few months one of us will book a room in a hotel up the road and enjoy some time to relax!

Brings back so many memories. Down time is important in keeping a balance. I always enjoyed a dinner out with friends weekly, or date nights with my husband.

I think I only really started seeking out things that brought me pleasure away from being a mom and a provider once I graduated with my mba and started on Substack doing film and tv again. It opened the door to new career and digging into passions that fueled purpose.

I love that line about recreating! I'm really feeling in the thick of all this parenting stuff lately. The tween angst is real!
