Let’s face it. Local moms don’t always have enough time to enjoy a weekend escape–or even a fun evening out in Pleasantville. If we’re not at work, we have meals to prepare, kids to pick up, homework to check over, laundry to wash...We’re exhausted just thinking about it!

So, this week, we’re thinking about local escapes that will rejuvenate the spirit without taking up too much our valuable time. Here are a few ideas to get you started:

1. Have a Sweet Treat at Rocnroes Pop Shop

You’ll feel like a kid again when you drop by this retro, 50s-inspired shop. Have some ice cream, a root beer float, or some candy while you enjoy the shop’s fun, colorful atmosphere.

2. Treat Yourself to Some “Wondrous” Things

Lose yourself in the aisles at “Wondrous Things” in Briarcliff Manor. The local store sells jewelry, accessories, apparel, gifts and more. FYI: Their spring items have just arrived.

3. Get a Pedicure at Sun’s Nails

Every busy mom deserves to get their feet pampered every now and then, whether you get your pedicure at Sun’s Nails or another nail salon nearby.

You get the idea. Sometimes we’re too busy to notice that a quick mom escape is just minutes away–no advanced planning or appointments needed!
