Reader Leah shows that a night out with the girls can have a new meaning!
My sister-in-law and I were very excited to spend our “Girls Night Out” at ShopRite tonight, leaving our three young kids (each!) home with their daddies while we sipped Dunkin’ Donuts (there’s one in ShopRite!) and took our time finding the deals. Funny how when you’re a mom with a gaggle of little kids, a relaxed, CALM trip to ShopRite with a girlfriend qualifies as a wonderful evening out! And we were quite successful 😉
