As we juggle our many roles at home and elsewhere, we can all use a little time out to unwind, regroup with our families and reconnect to our inner selves.

Now, I'd like to invite you to share your best Mom's Time Out or Kids' Time Out idea. The best ideas will be posted in the Time-Out Corner here at Work & Family at BellaOnline.com

Just send me your own Mom's Time Out or Kids' Time Out suggestion. You know how you share your ideas with your fellow moms over coffee? Well, come on over and share them with your fellow moms at the Work & Family site. To see our format, check out the Mom's Time-Out Corner, where we post ideas to help mothers take care of themselves, and the Kids' Time-Out Corner, where we suggest quality-time activities for children and parents.

Write your own Time-Out tip, in 200 to 400 words, label it either Mom's Time Out or Kids' Time Out and e-mail it to me: workandfamily@bellaonline.com. By submitting your ideas, you are granting me permission to publish them. I will
publish the best Time Out tips in the coming weeks and will notify you if your tip will be posted on the site.

Now get those Time-Out ideas ready!
