A Whole Day to Yourself--What Would YOU Do?


Sweetheart is taking over tomorrow and I'll have the day to myself. What would you do? I've got a few ideas floating around, but would love suggestions...

I'll miss my boys, I know, but it is so refreshing to just have a day.

*****Edited to add later:

I'm thinking breakfast at the Devil's Food Bakery. Then spend a little time wandering around the neighborhood by the bakery. The Tended Thicket and Pome are two unique and delightful shops. There is also a large park, Wahington Park nearby.

I'm planning on bringing one of my Everything Books, my watercolor pencils, and the camera. This is also a fun place to browse, but completely on the other side of town. We'll see...

  2. Grab your Mom and come here!!

    I just took the chairs up to the to deck on the third floor....I'm planning on reading and drinking coffee for the first part of the day...then we could take a drive to New Hope/Lambertville on the Delaware River.
    Check out the galleries and have a late lunch!!

    Just dreaming......

  3. How sweet! I would find a used book store with a coffee shop and browse and sip coffee (not a tea drinker here)... maybe find a vintage shop or two to look through... or a thrift store I haven't been in before...

    Enjoy yourself! I can't wait to here how you spend your day!

    I would go out for a manicure/pedicure/haircut/whatever else suits your fancy :)

    I usually don't get days to myself, and it's hard to bring a little guy along to those kind of places.

    Of course, having coffee somewhere in a little bookshop or a bubble bath with candles at home sound nice too :)

    Sew/quilt/tat
    Scrapbook
    antique shop
    bookstore/library
    stay in bed curled up with a good book

  7. Sounds wonderful! If I had a day, one thing I would do is go to Elizabeth's Embellishments too! I love that place, but my girls... do NOT. :) I hope you had (are having?!) a restful and quiet day to yourself.

  8. Your day out alone sounds wonderful! I would go for an early breakfast, then some browsing/shopping/retail therapy, reading (Uninterrupted), bubble bath, journaling, cup of tea, possibly late lunch . . . I am going to have to do this sometime soon!

    That's a sweet picture of you and your little boy. It's nice to see you once in awhile. Take care.
