If you Give a Mom a Martini: A Book Review

I truly believe this is something that all moms struggle with: finding 10 minutes to yourself to just be you. I definitely have my methods. Here are just a few:
-
- I like to leave super early for appointments so I can sit in the car in the parking lot with a book
- I get up fairly early to start the day quietly
- I like to go to business seminars and meetings for the alone time in the car
- I hire a babysitter once a week to give myself some peace
While these all work pretty well for me, I’m always looking for new ways to get that time I need to be able to function as a mom and as a woman. I’ve even been known to lock myself in my room to fold laundry.
This is the purpose of If You Give a Mom a Martini: creative ways to find some alone time and things to do when you actually get it. One of my favorites was to get the real estate section of the paper and find the most expensive home on the page then fantasize what it would be like to live there.
Granted, I wasn’t in to every suggestion they gave, but the book overall was very entertaining and allowed me to have several minutes to myself as I read over the suggestions. This is a great book for new moms or moms of young children who need an imagination booster (and maybe a babysitter).
