I Steal “Me” Time In Tiny Moments And Yes, That Counts
[[link removed]] 
TikTok and Instagram are awash with moms’ odes to wandering around big-box
stores with an iced coffee, looking for nothing in particular. What gives? It’s
very simple, says Katie Bingham-Smith: Sometimes, you take the me-time you can
get, stealing it from solo trips to run errands.

“This is the case for a lot of moms — we are working and mothering all the time.
Those tiny ‘me’ moments are what get us through our day; our weeks; our life.
These are the times when we can recharge and gain perspective. There have been
times when I needed a breather and a trip to Target alone to pick up a set of
new sheets has given me life. Then, I’m able to go home and be a better mother.”
Sound familiar?

Why I'm Totally Fine Sending My Kid Out With Holes In His Pants
[[link removed]] 
When her son’s pants start to show wear and tear, Laura Fenton doesn’t toss and
replace them. Instead, she patches the holes and sends him back out into the
world. “I’m sure other parents wonder why I bother. There’s not a simple
answer,” she admits. But it’s not to save money – it’s about teaching him an
entire way of looking at the world.
