Girlfriends, episode number 56. What the heck is self-care anyway?

Hello and welcome to Girlfriends. I'm Danielle Bean. I'm a wife and a mom, and I'm on a mission to help you know your worth as a woman so you can find peace, balance, and joy in family living.

This week we're talking about date night overnights, girlfriends live, turning off social media,

instant pots, and what the heck self-care is anyway. Are you ready for this? Here we go.

Hey, girlfriends. Welcome to another episode. I'm so glad you're here. I'm always happy to sit down and chat with you in this way once a week. So fun for me to connect with you in this way. I'm glad you're here. So how are you? How was your weekend? How was your week? I had a weekend I wasn't expecting to have.

I'm so blessed in the fact that my husband plans things for us, even if they're last minute plans.

I actually thought I was going to get some work done this weekend. I've got some personal projects that have been piling up. And that's how I intended to spend my Saturday after the boys basketball games in the morning. But when I got back, Dan was saying, hey, you want to go somewhere? And he had already

made plans for where we were going to go. We ended up going to Boston overnight. Last night,

I'm recording this on Sunday. And we went to see Norm McDonald at the Wilbur Theater in Boston. Norm McDonald from Saturday night. I'm recording this on Sunday. And we went to see Norm MacDonald at the Wilbur

Theater in Boston. Norm McDonald from Saturday Night Live. We've actually been fans of his

for a long time. I don't know. He's just, he's one of those people. You know how some people

are just, they're just funny. Like, they can say something. You know this. They can say anything.

And it's kind of a little bit funny. So he's like that,

and I really enjoy his kind of dry sense of humor is, I don't know, his mannerism is so funny to me.

So that was a ton of fun. They were actually like taping a show. I'm not even sure what network it's

for. He was doing a special. And we got tickets. So it was so fun to go and spend the night there in Boston,

right in downtown Boston at Faniel Hall. And get up this morning with no kids and no, you know,

pre-mass rush. And we just walked to a church that was about a half mile from where we were

staying and got some lunch.

And it was just so nice and so relaxing and fun to do.

And we were back home within 24 hours.

So win, win.
