It is far too common for us right-hearted mothers not to take the time that we need for ourselves.
More often than not, I see -- and even fall victim myself -- mothers who do not go on "mom holidays" enough.
Of course, there are those moms out there that do far too much on their own, leaving their child behind almost daily, but the majority of us do not.
Whether you are a stay-at-home mom or working a part to full time job, you need the break.
I would say that the stay-at-home moms are the ones who need it the most, but in reality all mothers need to take a mom holiday every now and then.
Here are just some ideas to get you going.
By no means do you have to chose from this list but if you do find something that peeks your interest, then by all means, seize any opportunity to try one of these mom holidays.
My 8 top mom holidays

1. Go to the library and read a book -- warning: it will be quiet!
2. One of my favorite mom holidays is getting a massage, manicure or pedicure
3. Grab a girlfriend and head into town without a plan
4. Try quilting, scrap-booking, etc.
   
5. Volunteer work
6. Stay at home while your someone takes the kids out to lunch or dinner
7. Take a walk and clear your head
8. Get together with a group of friends to play games

With a small break you will certainly come back refreshed and ready to give your child his very best.
After all, taking a mom holiday every once in a while is not just for you, but your whole family -- see, now you can feel better about taking a break!
