I’m blogging about my mornings this week because I want to be intentional and accountable about how I spend my time without kids. To see how I came to be with out kids and how I desire to spend my time click here.
This morning I had no idea what I was going to do. Nothing was planned. I figured I’d head over to Kaldi’s in Kirkwood with a few books I was reading and go from there. I ended up popping into Madison Avenue Salon to see if they had any openings for a pedicure. They did and could get me in right away AND they were offering a special, buy a pedicure and get a manicure for FREE. What the heck? Only if I had “time”, they said. And I did have time, so I did.
I ended up having a great conversation with the nail tech, Catherine. She is a mother of five, ranging from 22 to 9 years old. She was very encouraging and just real about being a mom. I really enjoyed our time together.
At the salon, I also started to read a book Kim lent me called, “I Was a Really Good Mom Before I Had Kids“. I LOVE it so far. I’ll probably blog about it in another post.
Afterwards, I headed up to Kaldis to grab a quick lunch before I got the boys. I tried something new – the Turkey Artichoke Sandwich and the Berry Tea. I was not disappointed, really delicious, but a bit messy – glad I was alone.
