Feeling refreshed!
Sometimes you’ve just gotta get away from it all. And that’s exactly what I did this weekend. I left Little Man in Charlie’s capable hands and headed off with the girls for the weekend. Life has been hectic for me and my female friends in the past couple of years – babies, weddings, jobs, and home renovations have been taking up all our time.
Somehow, it’s been more than two years since we managed to find a weekend that suited all of us to get together for a night away, dinner, some drinks, and chats into the small hours of the morning. I don’t know why we waited so long – honestly, weekends like that are good for the soul!
Having a baby tends to fill your waking hours, and if you’re not careful it is very easy to forget to make any time for yourself and your pre-baby relationships. So this is my written reminder to myself to make more time for my friends! It’s just so refreshing to eat dinner without a plastic fork or sippy cup in sight!
It was great to reconnect with my pre-baby self. And then when the weekend was over, it was great to rush home and hear a little voice shout “Mama, Mama” as I opened the front door!
