On the town.
Wednesday, June 20, 2012 at 10:11AM Last night, I got to wear heels & my hair down {with no little baby fingers yanking it out}. I got to have uninterrupted adult conversation with Chris. I had an excuse to dig out my Louis Vuitton handbag, and not cram it with nappies & wipes & snacks & spare clothes. We were child-free. So we hit the town!
We headed into Brisbane City {Brunswick Valley actually} to watch a live band & enjoy a hotel meal. Chris's personal trainer's girlfriend was playing her first live gig with her band & we wanted to be there to support her.
They totally rocked.
You couldn't tell it was their first live gig as a band. They were professional & fun & confident. They played all original stuff, and I liked it. A lot.

And as much as I love being a Mum, and spending pretty much 24/7 with my 2 littlies, I also love a night off.....a night out. It's refreshing & definitely needed every now & then.
I love heading into the City. I rarely do, so I guess that's what is so appealing about it. Last night as we drove through the traffic & lights, and weaved through the high-rises & busy stores, I got really inspired. I wanted to jump out & start taking photos. Everything looked so bright & fancy & beautiful. I really see things in a different way, now that I'm getting older. I appreciate things more.
Chris wasn't as excited as me; to be in the city. He'd been in there 2 times already that day for business meetings :) But, for me, these days; who rarely heads into the big smoke - it was awesome!
And on returning home, I snuggled with my jammied snoozing babies and gently sunk back into our lifestyle as parents.
Balance is needed. Balance is good.
{Thank you to my gorgeous mother-in-law for watching our babies last night}
Do you find a 'night off' from routine & parenting refreshing? It's amazing how relaxed I feel this morning from just a few child-free hours with my number 1 man :)
Happy Wednesday All.
