(I wasn\u2019t the \u201cfriend\u201d but I was there emotionally a couple of months ago!) Many of my friends have a lot of responsibilities. Singles, Marrieds and especially Married with kids have voiced similar sentiments over the last few months. My advice to my friend \u2013 and anyone else who is feeling this way \u2013 <strong>DO IT!<\/strong> I recently took a day off and I highly recommend that other moms consider doing so also.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I read so many articles that said moms really wanted \u201ca day away\u201d for Mother\u2019s Day 2021. (I also mentioned a hotel stay on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mominthecity.com\/mothers-may-7-gift-ideas-for-moms-like-me\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mother\u2019s May: 7 Gift Ideas for Moms Like Me<\/a> post earlier this month.) The great thing about being grown and making your own money though is that you can buy your own gifts. I took on an extra little work project last month so that I could treat myself. If you would like to treat yourself to a day off, I have a few tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pick-a-date-for-your-day-off\">Pick a Date for Your Day Off<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you can\u2019t take a day off right away, <strong>pick a date<\/strong>. It might take a little time to get your finances and childcare in place. That is fine but there is something great about having a special time to look forward to. Although my getaway didn\u2019t happen until May 23rd because I wanted to be fully vaccinated, I booked my hotel on April 14th. Every time something threatened to steal my peace in the interim, I would say <strong><em>\u201cMay 23rd\u201d<\/em><\/strong>.  It was my personal \u201cSerenity Now\u201d!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<center><\/center>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-plan-your-day\">Plan Your Day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Loosely plan out your day off.<\/strong> I plan a lot of things for family, friends, ministry and work. My mantra is <strong><em>\u201cmake it special\u201d<\/em><\/strong>. That doesn\u2019t necessarily mean spending a gazillion dollars. Rather, it\u2019s about thinking through what will make it memorable for the recipient. We moms make things special for others. We should make things special for ourselves too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mominthecity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/moms-day-away.png\" alt=\"mom's day off sample\" class=\"wp-image-37673\" width=\"628\" height=\"625\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mominthecity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/moms-day-away.png 749w, https:\/\/mominthecity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/moms-day-away-300x298.png 300w, https:\/\/mominthecity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/moms-day-away-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 628px) 100vw, 628px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-enjoy-your-getaway\">Enjoy Your Getaway<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Enjoy your stay (guilt-free)!<\/strong> Highlights of my getaway included the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>*I stayed at <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebenjamin.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Benjamin<\/a> hotel<\/strong> in Manhattan\u2026specifically for their \u201cRest and Renew\u201d program and bathtubs.
