Moms Night Out

See that smile? There is a reason for my big smile and the reason is I was going out with my mom friends from playgroup after another challenging children day. We went out for Hibachi. Our cook was good and friendly. He tossed veggies into our mouths with his spatula. We were rewarded for our skill with a quick squirt of Sake. Dinner was delicious and relaxing with no little people to tend to. We went to Starbucks for dessert and coffee/tea but mainly because we didn't want to go home yet. It was a very relaxing evening filled with tales from the trenches.

Join the year long challenge of getting yourself in the photo at Forever in Blue Jeans. You won't regret it. This is 14/52 for me.

I'm also using this post for Simply Modern Mom's Time Out for Mom Challenge. She is encouraging her mom readers to do something for themselves between now and Mother's Day that pampers themselves and nurtures the soul. I think qualifies. Relaxing with friends and eating without children feels like pampering to me.

You do look very happy!

Mothers day in the UK was about a month ago - so I'm all for taking 'me time' until mothers day - all 11 months of it!

“Happy SITS Saturday Sharefest”.
You must have commented on SITS just after me. Many thanks for leaving a comment on my latest post. I missed the Saturday Sharefest and good thing I went back to SITS and and realize that the game is on. So I also commented on the blogger who commented before me.

Have a wonderful Spring weekend!

GNO are much too rare, glad you got to hang out with other moms - without the kids! Sounds like it was a great night!
