At the BlogHer conference, I grabbed a great stack of paper with swell ideas for mommy self-care called “Pamper Yourself for Less” created by Kim Danger of mommysavers.com.
One of my favorite ideas is for a girls’ night in called Girls Just Wanna Have Fun. Here are Kim’s tips:
Host a totally gnarly 80s party, starting with a free 80s themed invitation from evite.com. ask guests to wear their best 80s clothes (think ripped sweats, leg warmers, shaker sweaters and acid-washed jeans).
Break out the karaoke machine and keep the TV muted while playing movie classics like “Sixteen Candles,” “Footloose,” or “The Breakfast Club.”
Whitney and Hope are hopelessly 80s
As a tribute to John Hughes, I’m sure we all wanna bust out some of those classic movies, right?

Just want to clarify that this picture of me was actually taken in the 80s. That’s an authentic Express sweater. (And I probably weighed 99 lbs under its bulk!)
Sooo funny ladies!!! Hang some cassette tapes from the chandelier and don’t forget the glow sticks in your decor…
Thanks for sharing the tip! I did this with my local MOMS Club organization when my daughter was little and we, like, had a TOTALLY awesome time!
