I\u2019m sitting here writing this from the beach, trying not to get sand in the crevices of my keyboard. No kids in sight. It\u2019s really peaceful and I\u2019ve got some kind of citrus, pineapple, magical margarita in my hand. Oh, and I\u2019m on a momcation with my best girlfriends. It\u2019s a little bit of heaven. With Christmas and my son\u2019s birthday extravaganza weekend successfully under my belt, it is perfect timing for 60 hours of sunshine, sand, siestas and friendship.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m a huge proponent of taking your kids everywhere – it\u2019s kind of my \u201cthing\u201d. I think it\u2019s so important to expose them to different places, cultures and landscapes from the small town just 20 miles away to the bright lights, big cities of the world, and natural wonders like our National Parks, mountains, beaches. It enriches their minds and souls and gives them an education they won\u2019t find in a classroom.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Momcation
Girlfriends’ trips are good for your soul – a key lime martini helps, too.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

That being said, I also believe in a little time away for mommy (or daddy, or both). It\u2019s good to clear your head and not have to worry if your kids\u2019 homework is finished, coordinating play dates, or racing to Target because someone forgot they needed a poster board for a project.(OK, so you\u2019ll still worry about it, but if you\u2019re out of town, it\u2019s not in your face).
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Self-care is quite the buzz word right now, and even though I\u2019m no healthcare professional, I totally get it. It\u2019s easy for moms (and dads) to get completely wrapped up in everything their kids are doing, work, household responsibilities, and forget about taking care of their needs or slowing down. In fact, psychologists agree that time away is good both for the parent and the child. They even have a term for it: momcation. It\u2019s important for kids to learn some independence without you and for them to understand a little about balance. We all need time to recharge. A refreshed, rejuvenated parent is a better parent who is ready to tackle the inevitable highs and lows of daily life.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, I advocate for parents to get away on their own a couple times a year, even if it\u2019s just for a day or two. In the last six months, I\u2019ve been able to take advantage of two momcations – and boy, does it do wonders for your soul.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I took one quick trip back in September – a last-minute reunion with some girlfriends that I hadn\u2019t seen in a few years in Colorado, and it was glorious. Not only did we get to catch up, enjoy each others\u2019 advice and company, but the fresh air and scenery was a great respite from my typical daily routine– all of it was invigorating.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We all share a deep love and affection for nature – wildlife, the environment, and especially horses – it\u2019s what brought us together to begin with more than 10 years ago. One of my girlfriends and I even went on a moose-seeking trip to Rocky Mountain National Park. We didn\u2019t see any moose, but we had an awesome time just being in each other\u2019s company, exploring nature, and talking about everything under the sun.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My high school girlfriends and I have been planning a yearly 3-day trip for the last several years, and I missed last year\u2019s because my son was really sick. We had been planning the trip for about six weeks, and I had my heart on some quality girl time in a snowy cabin. However, there was no way I was going to leave my ailing kiddo. But, with a healthy household, I\u2019m now escaping a snowstorm in Indiana and hanging out the women who have known me the longest and the best on Captiva Island, Florida, reading books, sipping cocktails, sharing parenting advice (and failures) and reliving decades of memories. No need to pay for an expensive health spa weekend (although that sounds dreamy, too), a few dozen hours away with girlfriends is the best mental health retreat you can get, even if you don\u2019t think you need one.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, my husband and I haven\u2019t done this as much as we should, and it\u2019s a goal of mine for the next few months to take a quick weekend away (or even send the kids down to my parents\u2019 to enjoy quiet time at home together).
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you have a slumber party at someone\u2019s house or escape to the Caribbean for a few days, start texting some dates and plans to your girlfriends. Happy moms make for happy kids and husbands.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the best parts of some time away is coming home and being tackled by your kids because they missed you as much as you missed them.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, where should you go for your momcation? \u00a0Here are some ideas from personal experience:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A

  1. Beach getaway: Sun, surf, sand, and sipping cocktails – what\u2019s not to love? We\u2019ve been to different parts of Florida, and Alabama beaches. So far, our favorite locale is South Seas Island Resort on Captiva Island, Florida – everything you need for a girls\u2019 weekend in one place – beach, tiki bar (within 25 feet of the beach, need I say more?), restaurants, some cute shops, a spa, and yoga in the sand. <\/li>
  2. Mountain \/ Lake retreat: Fresh air, hiking, and enjoying the scenery is another great trip with friends who love the outdoors or need a detox from city living. <\/li>
  3. Snowy cabin: Nothing like holing up with your girlfriends for a weekend of reading by the fire and talking until the early morning hours. Order in pizza and stay in your PJs and sweats!<\/li>
  4. City slickers: Shopping, shows and great restaurants are another fun getaway. We frequent Chicago for girls\u2019 city excursions, and always have a blast.<\/li>
  5. Spa Day: Massages, facials, scrubs, mani\/peds. Need I say more?  <\/li>
  6. Stay in town: A hotel in the same city or kick out the kids and husband and have a slumber party at your house.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    What\u2019s your favorite type of trip with your girlfriends?
