Mama’s Me Time…

One of the perks of working at home is that I get to spend more time with my family and less time on the road.  One of the not so great perks of working from home is that I can’t really get time to myself.  There’s no lunch or coffee break, so I’m always in my office working.  Once I’m done with work (well I usually get back to work later in the night), I have other stuff to do around the house.  I also get to spend time with my family, especially with the boys, which is really really nice.

The truth is I need a break once in a while.  Mama needs her own time!  That can be from running errands to having a quick lunch with her girlfriends.  This was one of those days that I got to dress up and meet up with my girlfriends for lunch.  I chose this outfit for the venue because I was in the mood of wearing something comfortable and not frumpy at the same time.

I will vote everyday for you for one of the top mommy blogs. Keep up the great work. I’m so envious of your talent and appreciative that I get the benefit of reading it!!!

    Great outfit! And by the way…amazing pics! Who is the photographer?! I definitely need to take a course of two! I have a 22 month old and 10 week old so (unfortunately) my ME time right now is going grocery shopping (which I do love) and going to the gym…not too bad though-at least I’m getting out of the house!

    Gorgeous outfit for a nice lunch out with the girls. I too work from home and know the challenges that come with it. While I completely love it and appreciate the privilege, it does get tricky to carve out any time for yourself. When I worked in an office, I had time to get my nails done and work out and lunch with friends. It’s great to have a reminder that we need this me time too. Glad you stopped by my blog so we could find each other.
