Writing Prompt: Little Luxuries That Make Mom Life Better
Motherhood can be messy, loud, and full of crumbs…
But sometimes it’s the smallest things — a quiet sip of coffee, a perfectly timed nap, or the smell of baby shampoo — that keep us sane.
So today’s prompt is just for fun, for you, and for remembering the tiny joys that add sparkle to your mom days:
“What are the little luxuries that make mom life better?”
Here Are Some Ideas to Get You Started:
That first sip of reheated coffee (even if it took three microwave cycles to get there)
A solo Target run with no toddler meltdown soundtrack
A hot shower that feels like a full-blown spa day
Ten minutes of silence in the car before going back inside
Fresh sheets + clean pajamas = heaven
Finding a snack you don’t have to share
Texts from your mom group that say “SAME”
A good candle, a trashy reality show, and exactly zero shame
Prompt Expansion:
Write a list. Describe your favorite one in detail. Or answer one of these:
What’s your version of a five-star moment as a mom?
What little thing completely turns your day around?
What’s your secret “luxury” no one would guess?
What’s something you once took for granted that now feels like gold?
Why It Matters
These little luxuries are more than surface joys — they’re reminders that you’re still in there. That your needs matter too. And that even a chaotic day can hold something sweet, if you stop to notice.
Final Thoughts
You don’t need a weekend getaway or a bubble bath with rose petals (although, sign me up).
Sometimes joy looks like a cold Diet Pepsi and five uninterrupted minutes on your phone while the baby naps.
Your version of luxury counts — even if it’s in leggings, under a blanket, with one hand in the Goldfish bag.
