Great Escape: Indulge your Inner Rock Star
Consider a playdate for yourself and/or your partner that has nothing to do with playgrounds, sandboxes or soccer practice.
Remember squeezing into black leather pants and dreams of running off with the band? Does watching "Almost Famous" get you thinking a little too wistfully of your own past aspirations to be a musician?
Embrace your desires and channel your inner rock star by invest in yourself with a long forgotten hobby or favorite musical pastime. Pick up your dusty guitar and sign-up for music lessons at B Natural Music in Bonney Lake. Owner and instructor Matt Lockhart will give you a down-to-earth nudge in the right direction with tailored sheet music based on your interests and skill level. His vast knowledge of all things music from rock to jazz, Margaritaville to Fur Elise, makes nothing off-limits. Lockhart’s encouragement and enthusiasm for your advancement, no matter how small, is a much-needed boost when frustration sets in.
Instead of settling for shuttling the kids to and from soccer practice, school events and playdates, schedule a priority playdate of your own and use the weekly half-hour mental workout as an escape to fantasize about strumming songs around a campfire or touring with U2. And show your kids that being a parent doesn’t mean losing yourself.
