Instead of seeking grand escapes and large chunks of time, I’ve learned to think smaller.  I mean, isn’t that what life is all about? The little things?

Just like the special time that my kids and I spend together when I tuck them in at night, moments with me can be simple and beautiful.

One of my favorites and easiest ways to get some alone time is to take a mini-break on my patio.  When the weather is nice and the kids are down for the evening, this is when I can take a deep breath and put aside everything else from the day.

I grab a magazine and a glass of wine, and of course – a treat.  My new treat du jour are the Nestlé® Häagen Dazs Artisan Collection ice creams.

I discovered them on a recent trip to Walmart, and I gotta say… I love them all.

Currently, I’m working on the Tres Leches Brigadeiro Ice Cream, which is all things caramaly chocolatey goodness.  I’m digging into the Chocolate Caramelized Oat Ice Cream, next though!

It’s perfection.

Need another couple of other ideas?  Glad you asked… I have a few! 🙂

Stay up 15 minutes later than usual with no plan other than reading a chapter in a book.

Take an evening shower.  Just because.  And linger.

Go on a walk (without a stroller – whah?), and listen to your favorite Pandora station.  The one that doesn’t play “Wheels on the Bus.”

And, although you won’t catch me doing this, you could… do a craft or something?  I’m getting out of my element now… But I heard there’s this site called Pinterest that may be able to help you out with some crafty ideas. 🙂
