The children had their afternoon nap in our hotel, my husband was watching them. I went for a walk and looked into some shops in Svalbard (doing the same thing with children always entails a lot of adrenaline).
At the end I got some tea and a piece of cake and sat outside for a while, enjoying the view.
It felt so peaceful and relaxing. I was enjoying the clouds and the tourists passing by, I could concentrate on my thoughts & hear my inner voice without being interrupted all the time.
At the same time, I saw other children climbing the big wooden monster, our twins’ favorite place. I knew that, if I wouldn’t have my own children, all my attention would be on these playing children. I would be sad and dream about having a big family.
But here I was, sitting and enjoying my time alone, being thankful for having a family. I was a much better and patient mom after this me-time. 😇
I will keep this special experience & will try to find some little me-time-escapes also during the school year.#metime #momslife #zwillingsmama #familytravels #spitzbergen #svalbard #shorts #familienreisen
