Each week in Moms Talk, our Moms Council of experts and smart moms take your questions, give advice and share solutions.

Question: Where can moms go locally when they’re in need of a little “me” time?

Moms Council Member MJ Czerpak had this to say:

Moms Council Member Dawn Wanner offered these thoughts:

“I don’t really get any ‘me time’ to go away anywhere. I do, however, love to go grocery shopping by myself. Without kids, I can take my time and stand in the aisle to compare prices, look for coupons, etc. I don’t have to worry about rushing around so the kids don’t get fussy, I don’t have to buy them a fresh bagel to keep them quiet and I don’t have to worry about meltdowns. I actually enjoy going grocery shopping. It’s my little time away.”

Moms Council Member Carol Haslam had this suggestion:

“The Community Wellness Center on Lyceum (Avenue) is my favorite. It’s not a spa, nor is it spa prices. But it is great!
