Manicures, Pedicures and Magazines…Oh My!

Me time, what is that? That is the actual response I got from one of my mommy friends when asked the question how do you spend time alone.

Let me tell you a quick story about something I did today and the reason why I came to the conclusion that I am sick of my diaper bag. It’s Thursday and that means my cleaning lady is here.
