When I first became a parent, my daughter Mia was my whole world. Our days were filled with little escapades: dining out, pampering ourselves with manicures, shopping trips, and fun classes—just the two of us. However, everything changed when Max arrived, followed closely by Leo. Suddenly, those cherished moments of one-on-one time grew scarce. With three energetic kids and a husband who frequently travels, carving out time for individual connections became increasingly challenging, yet it is so essential—especially for my Mia.
Recently, we carved out an afternoon just for ourselves. We indulged in manicures and haircuts, enjoyed some shopping, and savored a lovely dinner together. Even if it was only for a few hours, the experience was nothing short of rejuvenating. In that brief time, I transformed from “the strictest mom ever” to the “most amazing mommy!” It’s incredible how a little dedicated time can shift perceptions.
We both needed that break, and it served as a reminder of the importance of nurturing our individual relationships amidst the chaos of daily life.
