Brave Mama

Last night I went out and met some mommy friends for chocolate fondue. Now for those of you that really know me, know that this is a big deal. This is the first time I have gone out after I put Ella to bed, ever! In 2 years and 9 months! She slept the whole time so Daddy had no worries, and I had a great time. I will definitely be doing this again. Yeah for me, I am learning how to let go a little bit and take time for myself. I use to think I was a great mom if I sacrificed everything for Ella. Now I realize I am a better mom when I take care of myself, and nurture my needs as well as hers. We all benefit from this, because when Mama's happy everyone is happy! 

Now to start going out with my husband again, that is next on my list!

Congratulations! It was great seeing you out last night. I'm so glad that you had a great time and Ella didn't even know you were gone.
