BETTER WITH JR

School’s In!

Let the parents of the world rejoice.

Here in Davis, school just started. I drove through downtown today and you could just feel the glee. I literally saw a group of moms squeal with excitement. I love summer. The time with my kids, swimming, sun and a relaxed schedule. But I also love routine and some time for myself.

Today I got to drop my kids at school, go to yoga, run to the Co-op, do some work and have a solo dance party in my living room.

Here’s the thing, I love my kids. But I also love me. And during the summer, it’s hard to do the things I want to do. The things I know are good for keeping me sane. I mean I can drag my kids to the Co-op but they don’t want to spend 10 minutes checking out the different varieties of bulk foods. But guess what? I do. And I got to do that today. And it felt good. And I got some granola. So win-win.

What do you like to do to for yourself when you get a little time for you? Yoga? Walk? Bravo TV? Granola shop?
