Forget Book Club (Covergirl Outlast Giveaway)

There was a time, before I had kids, that I had time for such luxuries as sipping a cold beer with my husband on the deck on a Saturday afternoon, having a movie marathon on a cloudy day, impromptu trips out of town ‘just because’ and reading books because after all that excitement, a girl needed some down time. Three kids and a dozen years later, all of those ideas sound like actual luxuries to me and rarely, if ever, happen.

Downtime has to be scheduled, and most of the time involves the family. I’ve learned that in order to take care of my family, I certainly need to take care of myself and that means I need my alone time too. Since reading a book is a luxury, a book club is out. Fortunately, I have wise friends who are in the same situation and now I’m a proud member of several more suitable clubs.

Cocktail Club and Supper Club are both organizations I firmly believe in. I have no idea our oath, goals, or vision but can tell you that both involve salacious gossip, loud laughter, and friendships forged in a variety of locations in the beautiful city of Regina. The best part about both clubs is that anyone can start them – my Supper Club (in Saskatchewan, we call it “supper” while some of you fancier neighbours in other provinces may call it “dinner”) started with one friend simply asking a few people she knew, who didn’t know each other, to join. Cocktail Club was created on the spot – a group of fabulous women getting together on a weekend afternoon on a deck, and then deciding this simply couldn’t be a one time thing.

Both groups of women give me the opportunity, once per month, to have an evening just for me. In our household it’s non-negotiable, it’s on the calendar and my husband knows he and the kids are on their own for the night. There’s no guilt, no babysitters needed, and I come home feeling refreshed, full, motivated and inspired.

I’m such a huge advocate for women helping women, especially finding women within your social circle whom you gravitate to and feel better for being in their glow! If you have people around you like that (congrats!), consider starting your own monthly dinner, cocktail, wine, biking, walking, or whatever club. Make a point to schedule that time out to connect, network, and learn from each other.
