Just the two of us - Real Mum story on MoM

13 Comments

The grandparents have taken the little one for most of the weekend.
Instead of a sleep in we got an early start to our weekly grocery shopping. Prepped a few meals, did some gardening and even took a leisurely stroll along the beachside. The sun stayed out most of the day so laundry was hung and brought in before 3pm.
Now instead of heading out for a night on the town, we have candles blazing, dinner in our tums and hubby settlingback for some footy while I’ve grabbed a book off the shelf plus a few sneaky treats.
It might not seem like everyone’s idea of a weekend alone with the kids but it’s a great treat for us- unintrupted housework and all
Hope everyone else’s weekends are going just as well or better!

I’d probably do the same thing except add a bath. I always have to share.

Its the quite times you miss most when you have kids, Just been able to relax for more than 10 mins would of been heaven for you. Hope you enjoyd your time and that you get this kind of treat more often. The kids can have grandparent time and you both get some me time.

It doesn’t really matter what you do when you are without kids, but that you enjoy it. And it looks like you do!

That’s lovely. I’m so happy for you. I imagine that is what I would do if my daughter ever has a sleep over at nanas

  Hope that you get to have that time to yourselves sooner rather than later. No matter how much we love our bubs a little down time never hurt anyone
