Despite visiting Sydney every year or two, I realized I had almost nothing to offer when a friend recently asked for travel recommendations. She wanted to know the best beaches, must-visit restaurants, and activities for her 4-year-old, but when I'm there, I'm not actually sightseeing. Instead, I'm tucked away in a suburb with my close friend, grabbing coffee at her local café and watching her son's soccer practice.

Parenting is hard and there aren’t really any breaks. Having a night out with your partner or friends is a great reminder that fun doesn’t have to centre around the joy of your littles. But getting out often involves finding someone to watch your kiddos. Finding your first babysitter is exciting but can also be scary. Weighing up the anxiety of leaving your little ones with the lure of putting the diaper bag down and being a grownup for an evening is tough.

Moms night out is overdue and we all deserve one. Planning a night away is tempting, but hectic schedules, sick kids, and busy workdays make it challenging. Consider this your permission slip to book it in, get a babysitter if needed, and make it happen. Parenting comes with very few breaks so it’s important to plan to get away from the house sometimes. Recharge and reconnect with friends who won’t ask for snacks or need their sticky faces wiped.

Looking at my camera roll, you’d think I was making a documentary on the incredible adventures of my husband and children. On weekend walks and even at bedtime I snap photos of them playing, reading, holding hands and laughing. I usually manage to get a few with great backgrounds, good lighting and everyone’s best angles. If I’m in a photo, it’s generally an unflattering selfie or half my face covered by someone’s hair but that’s ok. The memory is captured.
