"Me Time" - a Poll for Mothers


I need your help, people.

My next article for Parenting Magazine is on the topic of "Me Time".
What we as mothers do for ourselves.

Of course I can speak from my own experience (and I will, you know me), but I'd love to include some answers from you girls as well.

What do I want you to do?
Click some buttons and answer the poll questions, for starters.
If you like, you can leave it there.

But also, what I'd love is a few quotes from other mothers to include in my story.
So if you want to be featured in my article, send me an email answering the following Questions:
  1. First Name, age, where you're from
  2. How many kids do you have? What are their ages?
  3. What did you do for work before having children?
  4. Are you full time at home, work from home, working part-time or working full time?
  5. What do you do for yourself (for fun, enjoyment, creative outlet or leisure)?
Email your answers to me at greatfun4kids@live.com before Monday.


Giveaway: Parenting Magazine
I will have two copies of the Magazine to give away, so all email entries I receive before Monday qualify you to go in the draw to receive one. (Make sure you include your postal address on your email).

Now for the Poll.
{Please take a few seconds to click the buttons and vote. Thankyou. I appreciate it, I really really do}

  4. I often wonder who coined the expression 'me time'. Sometimes I want to slap them.

    Anyway, I took the poll. I love polls. Anytime you want a poll filled out, you know who to call on!! x
