ENJOYING LIFE’S SIMPLE PLEASURES ON MOMMY BREAKS

This is my take on Teacher Julie’s Weekly Question No. 9: What are the 5 simple pleasures that will give you, well, simple pleasures?

When Mommying duties seems too mundane and taxing, there’s no need to throw in the towel. When Mommy life seems too much full and you can’t handle one more game of patty cake, it’s time for a mommy break.

Mommy breaks are great because they allow you to get away and relax. They allow Mom time to re-coop and re-evaluate her, well, quite “challenging role”.  And oftentimes, they allow just enough breathing room to remind Mom that she isn’t just a Mom alone but a distinct individual and valuable part, not just of the family, but of the community as well. :)

At Mommy breaks, I simply enjoy life’s simple pleasures.  Well, not as sosyal as joining wine of the month clubs but something rather similar or something to that effect like:


munchin on a bowl of nachos and salsa


or a plate of green mango with Bagoong


getting a refreshing haircut ;)


going out with friends (photo courtesy of Cess) :)


or simply clicking my cam away!

    Ako din, haircuts are a treat for me. Almost every month I get one, kaya naman hindi humahaba hair ko hehe.

    Nag crave ako bigla ng nachos with salsa dip.. Yum!

    I love nachos and salsa too. Recently I tried nachos with cottage cheese. Masarap din!

    I enjoy getting a hair cut too. A trip to the salon is always so refreshing.

    I miss you and our other PMN friends. Sayang couldn’t join you tonight because I have to stay home with Yohan. He doesn’t have fever anymore and hopefully he will continue to get well before Monday.

      hi Rach. that one with cottage cheese sounds yum. I’ll try that next time.
      yeah, every girl’s pleasure is a refreshing trip to the salon, right?

      it’s OK Rach. there’s always a next time. eh kung kami na lang kaya pumunta dyan? hope Yohan is much better now.
