How To Enjoy ‘Mum Time’ When The Kids Are Out The House

JayneLeave a comment

As a Mother it can be hard to get yourself some free time for rest & relaxation, we spend all day dealing with work and kids and even when you don’t have the kids with you, it’s likely that Dad requires some attention too. But every so often you’ll get some peace and quiet, maybe Dad has taken the kids to the cinema to watch a film. You’ve got the house to yourself for a few hours and you’re going to enjoy it. So this brings up the question of what to do when you have your Mum time?

First off, we have the go to for anyone looking to relax: The humble bubble bath. It’s really understated how much a nice bath can take the edge off, especially when you’ve been running around after your children all day. Draw a nice warm bath, maybe light a candle & put some music on, then hop in and relax with a nice glass of wine. Really as a Mother, you never get a nice bath uninterrupted, it’s likely that if you have a long bath one of your children will want you whilst you’re in there, so finally getting to enjoy a soak without being dragged out half way through is amazing!

Next up, we have an unconventional activity for mothers, video games. Games are often seen as the activity for Dads & teenage boys, but Mums can enjoy gaming too. If you can get a hang of the controller (or even just play a mobile game), you’ll fall in love with games for the same reason the boys do. Gaming is a big stress reliever, whether it be getting some anger out by shooting some zombies, or getting engrossed in an amazing story gaming can be an amazing way to cut loose, especially with all the options available, if you have a smartphone you can get yourself a free game to play to distract you for a while.

Have the girls over, so often when you’re a parent it can feel you spend more time with your children’s friends than you do with yours, so a free house is a perfect opportunity to catch up with some old friends, have a cup of tea and talk about life, maybe even split a takeaway and a glass (or two) of wine and just enjoy hanging out with your friends.

Catch up on all the TV you’ve missed, you know how it is, the kids have control of the TV until dinner time, so you’re stuck watching cartoons all day, then when your partner gets home from work they take control of the remote, so it can be hard to actually get to watch what you want to watch, so why not take advantage of the alone time with no competition for the TV, put on whatever you want & get caught up on everything you’ve missed.

How to Create the Ultimate Night Out Look

Night OutWhen you are talking “night out”, this is your opportunity. It is your opportunity to let loose and feel completely confident in your skin. A “night out” is going to be different from the normal. It is going to be exciting. You are intentionally getting ready to be unrestrained in some way, form or fashion.

A “Night Out” Means Different Things Depending Upon the Company You Keep

A night out with the girls is different when you are on the prowl or happily married and content. A night out with your spouse is different if it’s your anniversary, or just a chance to catch a flick without the kids. Your night out is also coloured by who is accompanying you on the excursion.

Whatever your night out is all about, we want you to make the most of it. The way to make the most out of any evening is your attitude about the opportunity.

Feeling Sexy Goes with Everything

Taking the extra time to slow down and appreciate yourself as a woman should be the backdrop of every night out. Your attitude is an essential part of the wardrobe. Now that you have an attitude of latitude, you are starting to feel sexier by the minute. Now, your night out can go higher and higher.

So, what other things should be an essential part of your special night out wardrobe? Well, we are glad you asked.

Like the 70’s hit song declared, “Let’s Make This a Night to Remember”

Crotch-less Tights – is an essential part of your grown and sexy wardrobe. It is not trying too hard. Nobody but you will know you are wearing them. It is a constant reminder that you have removed a barrier to your fun this evening. Tease your spouse and let them know you have a surprise for them. You can purchase some new crotchless tights and wear with or without undies. You determine your level of naughty for the night out mood you want to set.

A Dramatically Different Hairstyle or Wig – This element gives you permission to be someone different on your special night out. You may pass by a mirror and not even recognise yourself. Donning a different hair colour, length or style will be fun. Trying something out of the ordinary will set your night out apart from the rest of your week with distinction and style.

Stilettos – Here is yet another opportunity to take your night out up a couple of notches. Wearing those four inch heels will be a real escape from the everyday. Women feel sexy in heels and they will definitely be a great compliment to your crotch-less tights. Depending upon your level of comfort, you can go up or down a few inches in heel height. Be careful though – no one feels sexy with aching toes. You don’t want to turn your night out to a “let’s sit this one out”.

A Dramatically Different Makeup Style – Try something you’ve always wanted to try; perhaps a trending trick you saw on the Internet will set your night out makeup apart from your work-week. Staying in line with our sexy theme, you may just apply a little more makeup than usual to give you a sexier edge for the tone of the evening.

Gloves or Costume Jewels – Topping off your night out duds is the embellishments you crave, the finishing touches. If you’re strictly a pearl stud earring lady by day, vamping up with finger-less, lace gloves and long dangling earrings for your night out will be just the level of sexy you desire.

Give your night out look some added glamour or naughtiness with any of the above items!
