Summer camp… a time for fun, friends and non-stop laughter. I love everything about it, but most of all, I love that it’s happening outside of my home, all three of my kids are there and I have 8 solid hours of quiet in my home, five times a week. So what’s a Mom to do with an empty house? This Summer, I’m dedicating an hour (or two) of each day to me. I’m getting my relaxation on. Here’s how I’ve been spending my days when the kids are away.
SHOPPING
I headed to my local Walmart store ALL ALONE. Ahh… no wrangling kids, no “buy me this, buy me this”, just me, my shopping cart and a store I can get lost in. It was paradise. I was able to look at whatever I wanted. I walked up and down the aisles and discovered new products like Canada Dry Ginger Ale and Lemonade™. My two favorite drinks together, in one bottle. It combines Ginger Ale made from real ginger with lemonade made with real juice. I couldn’t help but imagine myself sitting by the pool, with a cool glass of Canada Dry Ginger Ale and Lemonade, relaxing. So I grabbed two bottles and headed home.
READING
I’ve always loved books but on most days, I don’t have the time to read. My unread book collection had been piling up. So I finally pulled one off of the shelf, dusted it off and read over 100 pages. It was heavenly. No one was asking me for juice, or whining in the background. Just me, the chirping birds, my book and my Canada Dry Ginger Ale and Lemonade in hand. I have to say, it does taste just as good as it sounds. It’s so refreshing and crisp. It’s the perfect way to unwind.
RELAXING BY THE POOL
I found a new favorite place to sit this Summer… by the pool. The Summer days are so hot and it gives me the opportunity to soak up some Vitamin D and then cool off with a swim. It’s the perfect place to read, take a nap and enjoy every minute of “me time” that I’ve been given this Summer. With my book and my favorite snack and drink nearby, I have everything I need. It’s been easy to get lost in the silence.
I’m enjoying every minute of Summer so far and I hope you are too. Make sure to relax and make time for yourself. You deserve it!

We all love our kids but it is nice when they are away once in a while for me and us time. I have to try that ginger ale it sounds like a great mix.
Sitting by the pool with a book and a drink sounds like the perfect way to spend the day! I really want to try that Ginger Ale and Lemonade now! It sounds so refreshing!
Enjoy your time alone! It’s so nice to put your feet up and relax when the kids are away. I haven’t tried that ginger ale, but it looks delicious!
Oh wow, what a great way to pamper yourself. This is right, give yourself some free time to do the things that would make you relax.
Sounds wonderful! I wish I could lounge by a pool!! & I love a good ginger ale drink!
I have got to try this. It’s my two favorite flavors together and I could see myself using this to make punch or signature drinks for summer parties.
Good for you getting to enjoy some free time. Reading with a tall glass of lemonade would be my choice. Enjoy while you can.
