Parenting Pointers: Cherish Alone Time

Normally my husband and I go shopping together and take our toddler. She's pretty easy to have along, but shopping trips still take a little longer just because there are two of us and we usually amble and chat.

Yesterday I went alone, and then I went to choir practice at church. As choir practice was done, I realized how nice it had been to have two hours just for me - even if I did spend it shopping and with a group! Normally I wouldn't think of shopping as me time, but it had been so peaceful to just have my own thoughts to amuse myself.

My point? Cherish the time you get alone, even if you aren't doing something "fun."
