You're Not The Boss Of Me

As mothers, it feels as if we are always multi-tasking. This time of year can be particular stressful and lots of moms, like me, probably wish that they can just go out with their friends and kick back. The problem with that idea is too many moms just don't have anyone to take over when they want to go out. One solution is have a home party. You can take the kids with you if you have to and just have a girl's night in. One fun thing to do is a clothing swap. Everyone bring a bag of clothes and accessories you no longer wear and swap with your girlfriends. Do you long to do crafts, but can't find the time? How about organizing a fun and easy craft to do with your girlfriends. It's a great way to de-stress and just have some fun. If you long to share a meal together, but that feels too time consuming, how about a dessert party? Everyone bring a dessert and share with some flavored coffees and teas. If you can get out without the kids, then do something very adult, like have a wine-tasting party with cheese and crackers. Doing something like this can help you regroup for all those things you need to do to get ready for the holidays. For a great blog, that's more than a mommy blog, check out Mommy Space .
