Solo dating is self-care and I highly suggest it! I take solo dates often as a way to decompress from everything on my plate! Here, I list my top ten solo dates I have taken! 

It is so important to learn to enjoy spending time with yourself. This is no small task, I know. We moms rarely put ourselves first and some of us lose ourselves in the day-to-day mundane. It's time to rediscover who we are, reconnect with our inner selves, remember our hopes, and dreams, and reflect on how we have changed. 

Solo dating can help you learn what you enjoy, and what your passions are, and with your cup full, it is easier to pour out what is needed in your everyday hustle and bustle, especially this time of year! Don't lose yourself this holiday season, take time to date yourself.

I wanted to share some of my favorite solo dates I have taken myself on to help you get started getting to know yourself again.
