I went to my first moms night out with the MOMS Club I belong to, and it was great! Once a month, they set up a fun activity that we go do without the kiddos, whether it’s just meeting at someone’s house and playing games, or going out to dinner or the movies, or a spa evening, or, like Friday, something crafty, like scrapbooking or painting.
We went to a place where you can pick out a piece of unfinished (unfired and unglazed) pottery, and paint it yourself. They then fire it for you, and you pick it up a few days later and get to see the finished result. It’s a lot of fun, very relaxing, and cool to have your own piece of art that you can take home and put on display!
I’ve done this before, once with Barney, and once with my friend, Kealoha, and I enjoy it every time. I’ve made Lindsay an adorable piggy bank, made a really cute Santa candy dish, and last Friday, made a little “farm theme” cereal bowl for when Lindsay gets older. I’d totally recommend doing it if you haven’t before.
Barney got to spend an evening alone with the girlie for the first time, so that was good. They just hung out, played, ate, and watched the Olympics until I got home. Then I fed her again and put her to bed. What a nice evening. I think I’ll do this every month!
Sounds like a great outing! Glad to hear you are able to get a bit of a break from that little darlin’.
