Great Escape: Zumba, Yoga, Tai Chi And More

With school almost out for the year, moms will soon be busy transporting their kids to various summer activities and programs. From baseball practice to dance lessons, summer school classes to vacation bible school; you’re going to have your hands full.

Each Wednesday, we’ll offer one idea to give your mind a mini-vacation while you escape from reality for a much-deserved break. After your Great Escape, you can return refreshed, renewed and ready to take on your role as “super-mom” again.
