Yes! “Momcations” are a thing and becoming ever so popular among tired mamas yearning to unite with their girlfriends and truly relax without the ongoing chores and snack requests that tend to fill their days, especially during a pandemic. Motherhood holds so much goodness and joy, but like all wonderful and worthy things in life, it definitely requires hard work and selfless giving. Reconnecting with girlfriends can fill you up in ways other relationships can’t and is a valuable opportunity to help moms prevent burnout. These escapes naturally create great opportunities for your children to also garner more respect for all the ways you love and provide for your family. Whether it’s just an evening out with your gal pals or an extended weekend trip, making time for yourself will go a long way for your mental well-being in this new year while also enriching your relationships with other moms. The ideal momcation usually calls for finding calm, quiet spaces to simply be present with your friends, allowing for much- needed (and uninterrupted) conversations. Of course, sharing good food, wine and some moments of bliss in a spa can be a welcomed change of pace as well! Check out several of my favorite destination ideas when planning your next mom escape.
