Being a mom is a full-time job. Of course, it is fantastic and very rewarding, but sometimes it’s also exhausting. That’s why every mom should let loose with her girlfriends and have a Mom’s Night Out. And if your friends also have babies, be sure to schedule everything in advance, so that they can find babysitters. Then, let the fun begin! Check out these night out ideas to have a blast with your friends.

Wine & Painting

If you feel like you are tired of everyday life, try something new and be artistic. There are many studios out there that have painting classes for adults where you can draw something while enjoying wine and other beverages. Besides, you and your girls will bring a piece of art back home as an awesome reminder.

Pinterest Party

Most of us have pinned something cool with the intentions of complete the DIY project, but it ends up sitting in the “to-do” list to be forgotten. If this is you, throw a Pinterest party! All you need is your best friends and your favorite adult beverages.

Tell your friends that each of them should select one DIY project from Pinterest and find supplies for it (you can shop for it together to have even more memories afterward). At the end of the night, you will end up with amazing crafts.

You can even take it a bit further – prepare Pinterest snacks to share and decorate the room using Pinterest DIYs.

Pajama Party

Remember when you had sleepovers with friends, watching movies, playing games and eating pizza? Those were awesome days, and you can have one more of these even when you’re an adult! You are never too old for the pajama party with your girlfriends. Invite them over, pajamas are mandatory!

You can provide beverages, food and movies or TV shows. You can also play some good old games like Twister or Clue. You will feel like a teen girl again, only without silly teen troubles!

Things You Love Party

Every person has favorite things, whether it is a lotion you’ve been using for years, a nail polish you love, or a book that you’ve reread many times. This is the perfect excuse to introduce your best friends to amazing stuff.

The first thing you need to do is to decide on a budget. You can keep it affordable for everyone and choose small things; usually, $20 is more than enough. Then, you can do the party two ways:

1. Decide on how many friends will come. For example, if there are 7 girls, choose your favorite product and buy 7 copies. Each girl will do the same and divvy up the items among everyone. So, each of you will end up having 7 awesome things.
2. You get as many products as you want (but stay within the budget) then put them in the bag so no one can see what’s inside. Your girlfriends should do the same. Number the bags and then everyone should pick a number. Every girl will have a bag full of cool stuff!

It’s a little bit harder to have a night out now when you have kids, but life is not about being busy. It is about who you can make time for, and your best friends are important. You are important too – a Mom’s Night Out is a small treat for yourself. When you see a group of women drinking and laughing together, you know they have the best kind of therapy.
