You know most of my thankful posts have revolved around my family. I do adore my hubbie and boys, but today I thought I'd mention something different that I'm grateful for.....
No, I'm not talking about my purse (though I just got it and I think it's so cute). It's what the purse means. Girl's. Night. Out. Oh yeah, baby! Once a week I get my wallet and change purse out of my diaper bag, throw them into a purse, and go cruise the town. Okay, so I bring my little sis and we go to Target, but "cruising the town" sounds a lot more exciting.
This is something I need. I'm not kidding. The key to being a sane mother is having a little time away. When I come home they are sleeping sounding and I think they are perfect again. If you are a mother and you don't do this you HAVE TO start.
After the deer poop incident and the neighbor boy tossing his cookies (see the end of Friday's post) a girl's night out was exactly what I needed. Thank you husband!!!
Extra info: The purse and the hard wallet are from Target (surprise), the change purse is from Anthropologie (I splurged because I'm completely in love with that store and wish I could live there).

I really could not agree more! I think I am in need of one of these. And what better place to go then Target with your sister. Sounds fabulous to me.
ReplyDeleteI too agree with you. Mom's night out of Mom time outs are so needed to become a better Mother and wife!!
ReplyDeletecute bags! I'll have to look for that target one for sure. I always wonder if it's weird to carry a purse/bag I've made with a wallet I've made - somehow it seems too much. Anyway. I so agree with the girls night out!
ReplyDeletethat purse is to diiiiiie for!
ReplyDeleteOhhh! My best friend and I used to have a Wednesday night Girl's Night Out when we lived closer and we also went to Target. Undoubtedly, we would spend an hour plus just browsing and walking through! So fun!!! I found your blog through a friend and am tickled pink! Your projects are inspiring, fun, and just my style. I will be back often-thanks!
ReplyDeleteI don't know why this made me a little emotional. maybe i don't get enough time away but this blog makes so much sense. You come back, they are asleep and you think they are perfect again. I completely relate to that. Thank you for sharing
