So what exactly is Time Out for Theta Mom Thursday? It’s a party that I host once a month where we get together and dish about the fabulous way we spent some time without the kids! That’s right, we need to find at least one hour in one month to do something that we find enjoyable. The only hitch? It must be time spent without the kids.
Do something for yourself ladies! Treat yourself to a manicure, begin reading that book you’ve been meaning to start, shop for something totally new, get back on that treadmill again, have lunch with a good friend, pour yourself a glass of wine, have a date-night with your significant other, blog to your heart’s content, sip a White Chocolate Mocha at Starbucks while you tweet… whatever floats your boat as long as you are taking time for yourself without the kids.
Carve out some time for you because you deserve it!
By joining me in Theta Mom Thursday, what do you get out of this besides some quality time to yourself without having to worry about x, y, and z? You get the chance to link up and meet some new bloggy friends, that’s what!
How It Works:
On the last Thursday of every month, I will post my own Time Out for Theta Mom Thursday, describing how I spent my time out. At the end of my post, I will have a linky set up where you can link up your own Theta Mom Thursday post (describing how you spent your time out) so we can come visit you! Grab my cute Time Out button and add it to your post (or link back to me).
Grab My Button:
It’s on the right sidebar “Time Out for Theta Mom Thursday!”

Lubna, wish I had some recommendations for you, but I haven’t picked up a book since I started blogging. Where’s the time, right? Glad to see you join us and maybe I’ll think about a new read as well!

I love Time out for Theta Mom’s Thursdays. I’m glad to see you will be doing it again! I’ve missed it. I love that it actually made me think about and make time for myself. I agree I can’t do it EVERY week so once a month will be nice. Maybe we can “save up” and just do one BIG hour for us, instead of 4 smaller ones

I am SO in on this one. Where else can I take time for myself, then do a little bragging to the whole world.

Not sure how I will get an hour with brand new baby Violet but man will I try! I do read a lot but I consider a tie out to be an hour NOT in the middle of the night! Have a great week!

This sounds great. A mani/pedi and a little Sarah pampering sounds right up my ally.

i’m way ahead of ya!! i firmly believe in taking time out for me. and i don’t feel guilty about it, at all!!
my biggest problem is leaving them overnight. hubby and i are in desperate need of a vacation. we haven’t had one in over 6 years. but at least we get date nights, here and there!!
awesome idea! moms need that time for themselves, absolutely!!
You know I am so still in.. once a month is doable for me LMAO.. remember i would forget and post late or post on friday LOL… maybe this will help me out..
Woohoo! timeouts are awesome especially with bloggy friends.

I’m in! I’ve missed my Theta Mom Thursdays over the past few months – I totally agree, life takes over sometimes and time slips away – I think once a month is definitely doable

I’ve never participated before and was thinking about it just the other day. Unfortunately I blogged about how I did my nails on Sunday and got nabbed by the blog police today because of it. It’s a long story. I just might have to think of some more mom time before Thursday.
Thanks for the excuse Thetamom!
