Chicago Parent reader Megan Sechowski got a great holiday present: a day of hair and makeup and new clothes, and – most of all – a day of pampering.
Megan’s entry
After college, my husband and I were saving up to buy a house,
so pampering myself was never a priority. Then I had my first
daughter, Bailey, who had to have three heart surgeries.
Thankfully, Bailey is a fighter, and now she is 3 going on 13. I’ve
had another daughter, Riley, since then, and they keep me on my
toes. I love shopping and looking good, but I feel like and look
like a woman who just woke up, basically a mess. I love being a mom
and wouldn’t trade it in for anything else, but I would like to
feel like an attractive woman again.
-Megan Sechowski, Chicago mom of two girls
