I don’t “indulge” enough. Working full-time and having a 3 year old (and a husband) to take care of I don’t get much of a chance. I like to try to go shopping alone, at the mall. It’s sad that is an indulgance now.

2 cdziuba October 29, 2008 at 12:16 pm

I rush through my housework so I have time to myself.thentye

3 Giazz October 29, 2008 at 12:19 pm

Wow, how do I indulge myself. Hmm, well, I would like to say I don’t have a whole lot of time to myself, but when I do, I like to sit and relax by knitting or performing music, or taking a bath or just meditating. I would love to try that Turtle Chex Mix though, I love chocolate Turtles, so crunchy and yummy. Let’s hope this includes me for the drawing. :)

4 jenscloset October 29, 2008 at 12:26 pm

Hello-just found your blog through Twitter! Let’s see…to indulge myself..I eat at least one piece of chocolate (usually Godiva) a day!

5 Gina October 29, 2008 at 1:03 pm

Honestly, I don’t find the time to indulge myself, I really need to find that time though.

6 quitecontrary1977 October 29, 2008 at 1:07 pm

I always find time to take a hot bath and let my mind drift off for a minute. It renews me!

quitecontrary1977@hotmail.com

7 Kristine October 29, 2008 at 1:09 pm

Yum!!!

If I have time to really indulge, and the money to spend, I’ll go to the spa for a facial and pedicure. Heaven!

But, since that rarely happens true indulgence for me at home is a long, hot bubble bath with a good book and a glass of wine.

8 sleeslee October 29, 2008 at 1:22 pm

Am I actually the first to post? :)

I pamper myself with chocolate! I’ve tried these Turtle Chex Mix bars — they are very good!

9 Bonnie October 29, 2008 at 1:24 pm

I love to indulge myself with just taking time by myself and walking the mall and window shopping

10 Queen-Size funny bone October 29, 2008 at 1:40 pm

i lock myself in the car and read.

11 Ashley October 29, 2008 at 2:09 pm

I don’t get enough time to myself. On Fridays when I do the grocery shopping and everything though, I take my time and slowly wander down the aisles and look at things. It’s nice to get out.

12 Reeva October 29, 2008 at 2:13 pm

i make time for myself. i make ktime to get a pedicure and best of all, massages.

even if i schedule it in, i make the time honey :)

Great giveaway! I hope i’m the lucky winner!

13 Saoder October 29, 2008 at 2:33 pm

I indulge myself while relaxing in my bath

14 MariaJoy October 29, 2008 at 2:41 pm

I wait til my husband and son are in bed….(Or make hubby watch baby) and take a long hot bubble bath…and if the baby cries….he’s got Dad!

15 koopermom October 29, 2008 at 2:49 pm

A hot bubble bath and a bottle of wine!

16 tami October 29, 2008 at 2:54 pm

i indulge myself with special bath products. as a homeschooling mom to 7 i don’t get much pampering time but when i can grab a shower i get to use gels and scrubs and enjoy!

17 Chelle October 29, 2008 at 3:07 pm

I indulge myself by having a glass (or two) of wine and reading a good book…it’s a rare treat and I treasure it anytime I get a few moments.

18 Amber October 29, 2008 at 3:12 pm

I go in the sauna after every aerobics workout at the fitness studio. It is the best way to calm down and I always feel so much better afterwards.

Thank you for the giveaway – please enter me!

19 AmandaK October 29, 2008 at 3:28 pm

I never have time to myself, but about once a month, I ask everyone to leave the house and go see a movie. During that time, I soak in the bathtub and read a good book. I get to de-stress and when they come home, they see how vibrant I look with just a few hours to myself.

20 leslierose October 29, 2008 at 3:29 pm

I don’t really get to indulge with two small kids. If I have a chance I like to take an uninterupted shower. Or go shopping.
leslierose at gmail dot com

21 lizzykristine October 29, 2008 at 4:17 pm

This is not a good solution, but usually I find time by leaving dishes until the next day. :)

22 Mia J. October 29, 2008 at 4:24 pm

I try to get things done early in the day so that I can maybe sit down and read a good book. That is the best.

23 Dana (the Homesteading Housewife) October 29, 2008 at 4:25 pm

As the mother of 5, with a hubby who is working out of town, “Me time” is in short supply around our farm.

But I do manage to sneak in some reading and a little quiet time after they go to bed or, in the early pre-dawn hours before they get up.

24 Sheila October 29, 2008 at 4:26 pm

My usual time for indulgence is after I drop the kids off at school and before I pick them up again. If it wasn’t for school, I would get no “me” time. :)

25 Brenda October 29, 2008 at 5:00 pm

I try to in the small amount of time I have between putting my kids to be and going to bed myself.

26 Minxy Mimi October 29, 2008 at 5:39 pm

I indulge myself by having my hubby watch the boys and just going and having a coffee alone, or doing some fun shopping!

27 Loralynn October 29, 2008 at 6:11 pm

I like to indulge once the kids are all off to school. I like to snuggle up with a good book, a cup of chocolate coffee and a warm blanket!

28 Becca October 29, 2008 at 6:16 pm

If the kids every nap at the same time! What a treat to win! Thanks! cross_home2001 (at) yahoo (dot) com

29 Tiffany October 29, 2008 at 6:30 pm

My husband tries to give me a day off one or two weekends a month, so I can do whatever I want…it’s lovely when it happens :-) Thanks for the giveway!!

30 Holly October 29, 2008 at 6:33 pm

I take time for myself when my kids are at school. It’s the only time I get! Great giveaway. Thanks!

31 Christy October 29, 2008 at 6:43 pm

Does sneaking in the bathroom and pretending your not there count? Just joking. Curling up with a good book and soaking in a hot bath is my idea of indulgence.

Thanks,
Christy

32 goin-crazy October 29, 2008 at 6:43 pm

As a single parent, I rarely get time to undluge myself. If I can find the time, it is usually a bath or reading a book.

33 Bev October 29, 2008 at 6:46 pm

To indulge myself I grab a book. Nothing makes me disappear more than a good story. Thanks for the giveaway.

34 Cami & Martin October 29, 2008 at 6:48 pm

36 pshannonpr October 29, 2008 at 8:11 pm

I indulge myself 54x/week by making time to work out. Sure don’t like doing it, but I feel so much better after I do!

37 CrystalGB October 29, 2008 at 8:25 pm

I grab a cappaccino and curl up with a good book.

38 Croasla0 October 29, 2008 at 8:39 pm

41 Kristin October 29, 2008 at 9:57 pm

I indulge by getting up really early (when my DH does) or by taking a bath.

42 Kimberly October 29, 2008 at 10:21 pm

I “indulge” by taking a nap and letting my husband deal with dinner dishes and the kids. I know that is not “exciting” but it helps to refresh me.

43 elmomomi October 29, 2008 at 11:24 pm

i dont’ think i ever find the time to indulge myself, at least not alone. We do like a trip to Starbucks.. kids think that is a special treat!

After 8 is my time to relax! After my babby is in bed I will relax by watching my favorite show, taking a hot bath, or reading a good book!

47 bamabelle October 30, 2008 at 1:00 am

As a mother, I try to take my indulgences where I can. So usually it’s simple things like a bubble bath, reading a good book, and good chocolate. Thanks for the giveaway!

48 Bailey's Leaf October 30, 2008 at 1:39 am

A hot bath and chocolate, darling!

Thank you!

49 Melody October 30, 2008 at 2:22 am

Um, I surf the web and read blogs late into the night? My real indulgence is settling down with a book and a cookie/muffin/slice of cake after the kids are in bed.

50 Judy October 30, 2008 at 2:45 am

I indulge by putting my boys to bed and curling up on the couch with a good book…I don’t do it nearly enough either.

Thanks so much for the chance!

51 Emily October 30, 2008 at 3:56 am

I find time to indulge myself during nap time! Oh, how I wish that never ends!

Thanks for offering it!

52 jsc123 October 30, 2008 at 5:39 am

A couple of times a week my husband will take my children to the park for a couple of hours. That is when I take a long soak in a hot tub filled with bubbles. Add some soft music and softly scented candles and I am in heaven :) It definitely beats the quick showers that I take the rest of the week.
Thank you so much for offering this wonderful giveaway.
I would LOVE to win !!

53 Qtpies7 October 30, 2008 at 6:36 am

I hide treats and eat them when the kids are gone, sleeping or occupied.
I always make sure that I get a night out with the girls, too. Lots of laughter and fun and good food! Never miss it.

54 Suzie G. October 30, 2008 at 7:19 am

I make daddy take the kids over to grandmas so I can just sit and veg out for a while.

Now that I’m an at home mom I get lots of time to myself. I wait to have breakfast and coffee until after I drop my son at school so I can take my time.

57 cylis9 October 30, 2008 at 8:47 am

I really don’t find much time to indulge myself. Unless watching Survivor while folding clothes counts?

58 Sandy October 30, 2008 at 12:38 pm

hmm little pampers mean alot—oh you mean pampering- what is that!!!mrs.mommyyatgmail.com

59 michelle October 30, 2008 at 3:31 pm

My husband and I sometimes drop our kids off at youth group and then go to the Cheesecake Factory to indulge in a slice of cheesecake.

60 Leia October 30, 2008 at 3:40 pm

My “indulgences” come in the form of ALONE time while daddy takes the little man off on some adventure. Hubs is great about just doing this of his own volition from time to time. One of the MANY reasons I love him so much. Plus, he’s hot! :)

61 birrrd October 30, 2008 at 4:08 pm

Well some people wouldn’t think this was induldging but when I drop off my daughter at preschool I head to the thrift stores. I love being able to walk around and really search through the racks and stuff without having to keep her entertained! I should be at home doing housework but I take the two hours to shop by myself for treasures!

62 AudreyO October 30, 2008 at 5:18 pm

I take time each night before bed to either make a phone call, watch a DVD or read a book. I so need that time just for me.

63 amyd29 October 30, 2008 at 6:27 pm

haaaa time to indulge whats that??
Anyway the little time i have usually read a book

I love to spend hours at a time surfing the web while everyone else is gone during the day.

67 TXsunlover October 30, 2008 at 7:14 pm

I get my quiet time after everyone else is asleep! That's when I can read a book, watch a movie that I want to watch, take a hot bath, or just sit and listen to the peace & quiet! Oh, and that's when I eat chocolate because I don't have to share!
Thanks for the chance to win your great giveaway!

69 Amy October 30, 2008 at 7:39 pm

I try to take some time right after I get home from work to sit down with a cup of tea. It helps me to “switch gears” before I need to start dinner.

70 Nicole October 30, 2008 at 7:53 pm

Nap time is when I get a chance to relax. I will surf the net or grab a good book.

71 Jenny October 30, 2008 at 8:22 pm

I’d love to indulge in a nap later, we’ll see if it happens!

72 Barbara October 30, 2008 at 9:03 pm

Truthfully..I don’t really find time to indulge myself…at this point in my life sleep is considered an indulgence and I am not getting nearly enough. Most days I have multiple things to complete long after my son goes to bed. I know this too shall pass…and I am looking forward to sleeping in again!

103 Alyce October 31, 2008 at 3:52 pm

My husband is wonderful, and will take care of the kids when I need a break. Also, once a week when the kids are at Awana we get to have date night (which is just dessert at a local resaurant, but I’ll take what I can get).
akreese (at) hotmail (dot) com

104 Jesica October 31, 2008 at 4:01 pm

I don’t indulge myself nearly often enough – but I love to hop in the car and go for a drive all by myself. Listening to my own music. No whining or fussin’ from the backseat.

105 Becca October 31, 2008 at 5:41 pm

I find time by telling everyone to leave me alone for a while lol

It hard to find time to indulge myself. I do enjoy rolling the windows down in my car and listening to my favorite songs when I’m out running errands. That indulging for me!

123 itsahumanzoo November 2, 2008 at 6:46 am

Now that it’s football season, I have a little time to myself. My husband will go to his friend’s house with our son and leave me alone for a few hours. Most of that time is spent cleaning, but I do try to steal an hour or too to give myself a pedicure, or sit down and watch my favorite drama show. Thanks for the great giveaway!
