I love copperboom's idea about doing whatever you want on your own special day. So I thought it might be fun to see what each of us would do! So. What will it be ladies? The next challenge will be to find a way to make it happen!!! 😍 |

If I had my own day, I would kick it off at the spa. I would get a deep tissue massage, highlights and a mani/pedi. I would bring the world's most delicious cup of coffee with me. Then it's time for sushi lunch, followed by an amazing nap. I would wake up, read a great book, and then head out to happy hour with my girlfriends:)

scorpioscuba I think this should be a personal challenge for all of us. Even if it can't be a full day, plan your day and then make it happen bit by bit. Self care is important for us mamas! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Http://notjustnovels.wordpress.com

I would kick everyone out of my house and spend the day cooking and eating a gourmet meal and reading while drinking tea and wine. That's it.

I would try to go to NYC or something.
If that doesn't count, I'd sleep in a little bit not too much. Then massage. Chai tea latte and yoga. Maybe catch a movie by myself and then a fun dinner (date with hubby if allowed lol).

Maybe Chicago because it's closer.

Is it bad that I can't even think of anything?? Maybe ride my own horse and groom him for hrs. I don't know. I would actually just like to spend time with my husband and kid, but I don't think that's in the parameters of this game.

kcrkcs, I'm having a hard time thinking of mine too. Spending time with your kid and h makes sense. You are a crazy busy lady! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

H is stuck on wanting to get things done for his day. I'm not fighting him on it. He wants to go to lunch somewhere great as well, but mostly just get stuff done. I'm LOLing Bc where has this drive been before?!

My day is starting to take shape in my head. I want to sleep late (obviously) and when I wake up, I want to have uninterrupted time to get ready with a cup of coffee.
Then, H and C and I will go downtown to walk around the pedestrian trail by our city's lake. We will have breakfast before our walk at a cafe overlooking the water.
When we head back, we will stop at a bookstore and I'd pick it a few books I've been wanting for my classroom without feeling guilty about spending the money. We will spend enough time there that it will be lunchtime and we will go to my favorite Mexican place.
After lunch, H and C will go home and I will go shopping BY MYSELF for a couple of new things for my work wardrobe. I'll take one of my new books and find a quiet place to read for an hour or two. Then, I'll go meet my friend for dinner and get home in time to kiss my girls goodnight.
I need to edit this a little because it's far too expensive the way it is. Probably take out eating lunch out st least. Either way, it sounds amazing.

I love how reasonable (and hopefully attainable) all of our special days are so far. Ladies - it can be done!

kcrkcs, I definitely want to spend some time with my family too, but only if I don't have to cook or clean, and I'm not responsible for the toddler if he gets dirty or turns grumpy.

I think I would start my day by sleeping in, then I'd go to a barre or yoga class followed up by a mani/pedi. Then we'd all go out to a seaside lunch, then do some sort of water activity - maybe rent a boat or go tubing or rent paddle boards. In the evening, H and I would go out to dinner at this fancy local farm to table restaurant I've been wanting to try and then some sort of date activity - maybe try the new escape room in town. And then, in a perfect world where we have boundless energy, maybe I'd get laid. |

If money was no object, my day would look like theoprah's. I'd sleep in a bit, take my time getting dressed, go out for breakfast and Starbucks, head to the day spa and get a massage, mani/pedi, and maybe a facial. Then I'd get lunch and head to a bookstore where I would browse in peace and buy a few books. I'd find somewhere to read for awhile, then head out to supper with my BFF and maybe my sister. I'd round out the night by heading to karaoke with my friends. Since that would probably be out of the budget, it would probably be just coffee, massage, lunch, library, supper at home, karaoke. Which still sounds like a good day to me |

H's "Day of Jubilee" (we are big West Wing fans, kudos if you know the reference) is tomorrow. He does want to sleep in, but he still thinks projects. Ok, I'm on board. He's getting more excited about it and that's fun.
C will probably have hers on Friday. We aren't going to tell her super early because I don't want her thinking Disney or anything crazy. We like the idea of just waking her up and telling her it's her day and we are going to do just what she wants. ❤️

You're all inspiring me to call in sick one day next week and take a day to myself. I have a spa gift certificate I still need to use from Christmas...

My H just text to say he has all of next week off. He wanted to know if it was okay for him to go golfing on Sunday and then I could have a day later in the week to do whatever I want. Looks like my special day is coming up sooner than I thought!  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Finally posting my day!! So sad I've been too busy to even have the brain space to think about this.
I want to wake up when my body wakes up (i.e. No kids waking me) to my favorite latte on my nightstand. Relax in bed with my coffee then head off to get a facial, massage, pedicure and manicure. Meet friends for a relaxing late lunch al fresco (in cooler weather) with some amazing wine. Maybe do an early evening bike ride or easy hike with the kids before H cooks dinner and I play with the kids outside. Eat dinner as a family, kids go to sleep easy and early then have cocktails by the pool with H.

So it wasn't my special day but for my sisters bday we left he kids with my hubs (he will be getting a BJ for this). Went shopping for house items and work clothes for sister, and had a nice lunch out. It was so nice to be out without tiny tyrants! Then we picked up babies and went to the beach and hubs grilled dinner while we had champagne etc. It was a pretty good day.

My day was last weekend, but it was awesome. I slept until I was ready to wake up. Then we went downtown and walked along the pedestrian trail and picked up coffee.  We went to a bookstore next, and I spent a gift card. We picked up lunch from my favorite deli. After lunch I went off by myself. I went shopping for some new work clothes and then went to my favorite coffee shop and sat and read for hours.  When I got home, H grilled dinner for me and cleaned up everything. C played with my hair before bedtime. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ |
