There are countless reasons why travelling alone is a good idea, but once you become a mom the thought of spending any extended amount of time solo becomes even more appealing. It doesn't have to be a grand getaway — even heading to a local hotel for a night or two will do the trick — but it's crucial to maintaining your sanity, not to mention catching up on sleep! This is one trip that's all about self-care, so don't forget to pack a face mask and your favourite book.
