We've all heard the term Man Caves. My husband has his own man cave in our finished basement that he prefers everyone steer clear of. It's his place to get away, watch his nerdy sports, play guitar and do his work. If our kids get into his things and touch something in his space, he's not the best sport about it.
It's an invasion of his alone space. He really put a stamp on his area of the basement or "man cave". I can handle the TV and the couch is nice enough but the rest is laughable. He litters the area with all of his guitar gear, CDs and yes, a lava lamp. He plastered his old eighties bedroom rock and sports posters on the wall pretty much ensuring no reasonable adult would venture to that portion of our basement without laughing. He loves the place.
So, why not have Mom Caves? I read about this woman who developed a full blown Mom cave haven in USA Today. Is it realistically possible? I can barely get through a trip to the bathroom or a shower without interruption. How does this woman spend hours in her Mom Cave?
I admire that she makes it possible. Many moms can probably admit that once they are given some time to themselves, they come back refreshed and better able to take on the day.
If I decided to build my own mom cave, here's a jist of what it would be like.
I would have a TV and a remote that I control. I would have a fun selection of brain teaser activities and games (I know, weird, but I just like that kind of stuff). It would be cozily warm in there in the winter, and never too much A/C in the summer. It would be stocked with some great books that I could read without interruption. I would have so many lit candles I wouldn't need a lamp. Finally, it would include a drink and snack bar full of foods and drinks I love.
So, moms - what would your Mom Cave be like?
