Be a Priority

It is so important to take time for yourself. On the weekend Cody and I went to Winnipeg while W was living the life with his grandparents, uncle and auntie.

On Friday, we went to Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, that the Winnipeg Symphony played along to. It was truly magical. The music was spot on that I forgot they were even playing live.

On Saturday, went for massages, and went to Celebrations. The Celebrations show was Elvis, and it was probably the best show I’d gone to there.

On Sunday, we went for breakfast with my sister in law and brother in law, a neat little spot called Bluestone Cottage. And no trip to Winnipeg is complete without a Costco run.

The weekend was so relaxing. Normally whenever we go anywhere, we’re in a rush, but this weekend we took our time to smell the roses. It was nice to be just us, not parents, just us. I ate meals without rushing because someone was crying or trying to stick their hand in my food. I slept through the night.

Don’t get me wrong the mom guilt was there. W was FaceTimed multiple times to the point my mom told me to get off my phone and enjoy the weekend. I felt like I was being selfish this weekend for enjoying it away from my little boy, but I was making me a priority. When we got back on Sunday, I was rejuvenated, and I feel like a better mom and wife because we took a weekend for us.

I am so happy I am learning to make myself a priority; I highly suggest you try the same.

Be kind and eat beef.
