You have two hours to do something relaxing, and a budget of $100 dollars. What will you do?


My fingers tap out a tune on the steering wheel. I have two hours. Two hours for just me. The options are limitless. I used to think that two hours was no time at all, but after being a mom, there is a lot I can shove into two free hours.
My first stop: The Brew.
With Caramel Apple Cider, topped with whipped cream, and a pumpkin spice slice, I make my way back to the car.
My second stop: The Mall.
My cider and bread slice are nestled into both hands. I lean back into the massage chair and sigh. I don't know which is better, the back massage or the foot scrub. Pedicure equals heaven. Truly. Having someone rub your feet and paint your nails for a whole hour... Can you think of anything more relaxing?
I still have a half hour. What do I do with my time?
My last stop: West River Community Center.
The indoor track, my pandora Enya station, some headphones, and walking. It's almost as good as the pedicure. Not only am I doing something healthy for myself, my body is filled with endorphins, which makes me smile.
I drive home quickly. It's been nice to have a break. But I'm ready to get back to my Loves. Both of them. After the reset, I'm more than happy to be a wife and mommy. The free time allows me to recharge my battery that I am constantly pulling from. And, the best news: I still have left over cash.
Thank you for joining me!
