GIRLS NIGHT BY KRISTI VERDE
One of the best things I ever did was make a monthly budget for girl's night! If you are a mom there is a pretty high chance you either neglect your needs to make sure everyone and everything else is taken care of or it's something you used to do. The problem is when your needs go unmet it adds up! You get overwhelmed, stressed, and not really fun to be around. At least that is what happened to me. I was working from home and had my daughter with me 24/7. I needed some adult interaction! Once I figured this out I enlisted my favorite gal pals and told them I wanted to get together once a month. We could meet at each other's houses or go out. I didn't care which!
I just needed more time with my friends and I was determined to make it happen! Sometimes I let my daughter tag along. When this happens my husband usually comes to play babysitter. Girl's night for me is all about getting away from my responsibilities for just a little bit so I can come back fully recharged. Our favorite place to head for the fall is Cherry Republic in Ann Arbor, Michigan! They have all kinds of yummy samples. The reason we go is for the wine tasting. They even have a pop tasting so kiddos and pregnant friends get to be included!
