I had the BEST “date night” with my middle daughter. 💗 She’s 13, and honestly, I can’t remember the last time it was just the two of us.
Both of her sisters were at sleepovers, so we decided to have our own little date night. 🥰
I planned the date, but got her input. We were originally going to see a movie, but then I suggested something a little more therapeutic… 😂
A Rage Room. 💥🔨
She was a little apprehensive when we walked into the Glow Rage Room, but she caught on FAST. 😂 I yelled from behind my face mask, “Pretend every single thing is someone who ticked you off this week! I don’t care who it is—even if you’re mad at your sisters. LET IT OUT!” 🤣
And yes… Mom participated too. Let’s just say I had a few things to smash, including the aggravation of having WAY too many kids in my classrooms. 😂🤷🏼♀️
And you know what? It felt AMAZING.
Because sometimes you don’t need a lecture, a deep conversation, or another coping strategy. Sometimes you just need to put on safety gear and SMASH SOME STUFF. 😂💥
Afterward, we hit a couple clearance racks, both found new pajama pants, grabbed tacos to bring home, and watched Practical Magic—her first time seeing it! 🧙🏻♀️✨
Giggles. Laughter. A little destruction. Tacos. A movie. New pajamas. And some much-needed one-on-one time with my girl. 🥹💗
That = the BEST Saturday. 🫶🏼
These are the moments I hope she remembers someday. Not the expensive stuff. Not the perfect plans. Just Mom showing up, being silly, laughing until our stomachs hurt, and making memories together. ❤️
