I'm just going to get in my PJ's!

"I'm just going to get in my PJ's!"   That is one of the most common things heard in our house.  There is something so relaxing about coming home, knowing you don't have to go anywhere, and getting into comfy PJ's.  There is a feeling of relaxation and escape that this brings. 


With Mother's Day approaching, I thought of how as a busy Mom you don't have much time to take care of YOU.  Most of us can't do "get-a-ways" or spa days, so finding moments every day for a bit of relaxation is key.  Sometimes it's just realizing in the tub (with Philosophy of course) or reading on the deck. Last summer I realized I only read on the deck on vacation, so if I take ten minutes to read outside I feel like I'm on vacation!


 


My girls and I like to hang out on the couch and watch movies in our PJ's.  (Dad does too)  It goes back to our first days together when we would snuggle on the couch.  And since Mother's Day is always about our moms, not us, I think how my Mom and I would stay up late watching old movies in our "nighties" usually knitting and drinking tea. She taught me to love the classics, like Rebecca, Leave Her to Heaven, The Spiral Staircase, Laura, and our favorite the Uninvited.  These Hollywood classics are my favorites to this day, and now my girls love watching them too.


So take time to relax, enjoy memories, and have a happy Mother's Day!



I'm not alone in relaxing in my pj's! Here are a few pictures of my fellow hosts relaxing in theirs!
