I Steal "Me" Time In Tiny Moments And Yes, That Counts
 
TikTok and Instagram are awash with moms' odes to wandering around big-box stores with an iced coffee, looking for nothing in particular. What gives? It's very simple, says Katie Bingham-Smith: Sometimes, you take the me-time you can get, stealing it from solo trips to run errands.

"This is the case for a lot of moms — we are working and mothering all the time. Those tiny 'me' moments are what get us through our day; our weeks; our life. These are the times when we can recharge and gain perspective. There have been times when I needed a breather and a trip to Target alone to pick up a set of new sheets has given me life. Then, I'm able to go home and be a better mother." Sound familiar?
