My She Space and ME Time Place! Corner Office Getaway
Have you heard of She Sheds?? I posted about one my neighbor made in her backyard 5 years ago. And since that time, She Sheds have exploded!! I LOVE seeing the way women make spaces for their own personal hobbies and ME time! YOU know, life can get a little crazy — especially with kids and all of the other things that come along in life. As a mom of four and a new step-daughter too – I am SO SO SO thankful for my kids but there are some times that I need a little ME time!! Can you RELATE???
My husband LOVES college football. And I watch along with him some weekends, but sometimes I need a little ME time AND a sweet treat. I don’t have a big yard in our home so I can’t make a whole She Shed, but I wanted to create a little ME space where I can get away from work, and kids and life, enjoy a treat and escape. As you might know, my favorite book series is the OUTLANDER series. I have been reading them for the past 20 years. Sitting down and having a little time to read my books and have me-time really re-charges me.
My She Space and ME Time Place! Corner Office Getaway
You don’t need a whole She Shed to create a little Me-Time nook in YOUR home! Come along and see my little Me-Time get-away space!!
I work out of my front room office. I try to keep the room really simple and clutter-free. My craft room is upstairs in a room where I can make a mess and no one can see it! So I thought my office would be the perfect place for a small nook where I can recharge my MOM batteries. I was inspired by this video:
The room is open to the front door and doesn’t really have a cozy space. I decided to create a more intimate space with a privacy screen. I found one on Amazon and I love how simple it is. I brought in the leather lounge chair that I had in my 1905 Cottage bedroom. It is SO comfy and the perfect place to relax.
When the screen is closed my kids know they can come in and I am completely available.
When the screen is open they know that I am having a little Me time – recharging my MOM batteries.
I added a side table where I added a lamp for late-night reading lighting AND a place to keep my indulgent snacks! More on those in a moment.
I also added the SOFTEST most wonderful throw! AND I am giving another one away in the comments – scroll down to enter to win one for YOUR me space!!
A fluffy pillow adds the final element to my perfect She-Space! I keep my Outlander books and my FAVORITE treat – Fiber One Bars. I discovered them a couple of years ago. Sometimes I don’t have time to stop for a meal and I discovered that Fiber One bars are perfect for me to get enough fiber and protein to my diet during the day. I have tried a lot of nutrition bars over the years and Fiber One bars are truly my favorite. So when they reached out to me to partner, it seemed perfect since I love them in real life.
In case you haven’t heard about Fiber One Bars, here’s a little bit about them:

I love doing all types of crafts. But, especially anything to do with the holidays. My only free time is late at night when all the rest of the world is sleeping peacefully. I love to paint. Anything and everything. But, my most cherished time is laying back in my recliner with my sweet Bella on my lap. Bella is my dapple dachshund who I rescued 4 years ago. My first rescue pet. She was being used for breeding purposes only. The lady had a collar on her so tightly that is had began to cut into her neck. When she developed a hernia from giving birth so much, the woman decided to have her put down. My daughter heard about it and called me. I drove 40 miles to get her. Being alone 6 days a week, due to my husband being away at work, my sweet Bella has been such a blessing to my life. She’s the best friend I’ve ever had. She has the most gentle and loving demeanour. Just taking time for her, petting and talking about the good and bad of my days is my way to “recharge”. And give me perspective for the next day, as to never taking anything in life for granted. I found the sweetest blessing in a furry little dog. And I am so thankful for that.
Right now with 2 big kids and a newborn who doesn’t like to sleep just getting a shower feels like an amazing break 🙂
Doing yoga is my favorite way to recharge!

I love reading, so any good book, some soft squishy pillows and a super soft blanket are all I need!
Reading a good book and snuggling the kitties!
I like to take a nice hot bubble bath with lavender essential oil. Next, put on comfy pj’s with some cozy socks. Then, drink a hot cup of soothing tea.
Enjoy recharging by watching the neighbors horses galloping thru the field ….Thanks

I love to recharge by taking taking my dog for a walk.
Relaxing on the deck on a warm, sunny day is my favorite way to re-charge!
I recharge by getting out and getting exercise….either walking or riding my bike. I try to choose scenic routes and just enjoy the great outdoors.
a trip to the beach is my way of recharging! I need to live by the beach tho!
I shared this giveaway via twitter https://twitter.com/yarbr012/status/914997978007506949
I love to recharge by taking a hot shower! The hotter the better!

Well I home educate our children, so there is not a lot of time for “me”…I do need to recharge though to be a better mom and teacher to the kiddos. Most of the time, its a bath or watching my fav. show with a glass of wine!
Thanks for a chance to win!
Thrift store shopping is my fave way to recharge my batteries!
I love to spend an afternoon curled up with a good book.
Horizontal for 20 minutes make me feel so ok much better after a 9 hr day at work.
My favorite way to recharge is to sit in a cozy chair with a cup of gen maicha tea and a good book. If it is a gorgeous day outside, I might recharge by weeding in the garden. Weeding is always my thinking time, and the physical activity helps me to unwind.
My favorite way to recharge is I get a bunch of magazines I like and cookbooks, too, from the library, then when I’m looking to recharge to squirrel away with them and am so happy to just flop and read! I could never afford all of them, so it feels indulgent!
I favorite way to recharge is a quick half hr nap! Best best best pick-me-up to make thru the rest of the day
My hubby and I are Disney Pass Holders and one of our favorite ways to recharge is a Disney Play Day!
That sounds fun!!
xoxo
I like to power nap, in 10 minutes you’re ready to go again.
We built an extension on our deck with a gazebo and i love it! it is so relaxing to sit out there with my dogs, listening to the radio watch the birds, read and drink tea. it is starting to get a little chilly here in Minnesota and i’m really dreading it. The throw would really make it cozy (I love the color!) and I adore your furry pillow!! Oh yeah I shred on Facebook.
I recharge by getting a babysitter, going for a drive, and discovering new things. I take pictures and greatly enjoy editing and sharing them.
I love to relax with a good book and a cuddly blanket.
I enjoy sewing or coloring to recharge, maybe even a nap.
I recharge with a hot bath and my big fluffy bathrobe afterwards!
Taking my pup, Basil, for a stroll around the neighborhood and catching up with the neighbors out and about!
Walking and yoga before my kids wake up or after they go to bed! Makes me feel fulfilled and ready for anything.
I recharge with a nice cup of hot tea and a good book. Planning on checking out the Outlander series????
Watch Netflix or my shows that I’ve DVRed with chocolate!
My favorite way to recharge is to sit still on the front porch after the kids go to bed!
Before the kids get home from school I grab a snack and turn on Ellen! She is so funny and full of FEELS that I am just a happier person for it!!!
I Love recharging with Netflix or hulu in my little corner that’s not as cute as yours. The blanket would help!
Yoga????
A nice warm bubble bath!
Every morning I get up before my kiddos and take the time to meditate. It points my day in the best direction. Would love to cuddle up with this gorgeous throw while I center my mind for everything the day has in store!
i wander the aisles of target or home goods w/o anyone asking me a million questions ????
I love to craft! Right now with a new baby I love the feeling of accomplishing a project.
I clicked the Facebook share button on the left side and shared to my page.
I recharge in various ways. My favorite is to nap, especially on weekends. My body finally gets the rest it needs.
My favorite way to recharge is a cup of hot tea and a good book. Often both together outside.
During nap time, I watch a couple shows and eat my lunch in peace. It’s awesome.
My favorite way to recharge is by taking a long bath and then wrapping up in a warm blanket and taking a nap. Nothing better for me! 🙂
I shared via email. ????
I love watching Instastories to relax in the evening.
I live alone so I get lots of ME time. My favorite place is in my recliner with a cup of tea and a good book.
This throw would be very cozy.
Thanks for the contest.
Honestly…with 4 littles under the age of five…the way I recharge is to sleep. I’d love to read or take a hot shower or get a pedicure, but sleep wins EVERYTIME 🙂
I love going to the library solo!
A Hallmark movie and a bowl of popcorn!
Netflix, chocolate or a Diet Coke! And quite the opposite, I love to go for long runs. It’s all about balance ????
I love your cozy corner! And that blanket! I recharge by taking time to myself. It doesn’t matter what I’m doing (a hot bath, relaxing in bed with a book, sitting on my porch with a coffee or glass of wine)… but I love to sit in silence and let the thoughts fly.
Simple- grab a good book and icy diet coke!
I love crafting, that’s my time create something, either for me or for a friend!
I love your SHE space! I too want a SHE SHED!
My “recharge” time is usually doing something crafty and creative, lost in my own world for an hour or two!
Cooking is my re-charge after a long day of work!! ????
My favorite way to recharge is to craft. When I don’t have time to do that, I just spend time with my hubby. He has a way of making me happy just by being together.
I love to spend some time working on my art work in my craft room.
This is going to sound strange but grocery shopping by myself without a time limit is so relaxing to me. I love the time to plan and find new things but to try.
Honestly I like to sit in my craft room with TV off put on my record player and scroll through my phone. Catch up on friends via Facebook, Insta and read block posts. I know we constantly hear “put the phone down” and yes at dinner or family time I agree, but when I’m alone this truly helps me unwind.
I take a little me time on the couch scrolling through instagram and Facebook after the kids have finally gone to bed. I love that my sweetie understands I need to recharge. He gives me a kiss goodnight and heads to bed.
Congratulations Heather! You won the giveaway!! Will you send me an email and give me your address? [email protected]
xoxoxoo
I recharge/unwind by enjoying a cup of tea while reading a book, or watching a favorite show.
Love that soft pink blanket. We have our first snow (live in Alaska) in the forecast already! I could use a new throw to snuggle in for winter!
Thanks!
I attend Jazzercise classes which help me rejuvenate!
I love to recharge by sitting down and crocheting!
I recharge by reading! Thank you!
I recharge by getting up super early, enjoying that first cup of coffee (in peace and quiet) and then heading out before the house wakes up for some Me Time exercise.
I love going for long walks or hikes to recharge! It allows me to think and enjoy nature at the same time:-) Watching a good Netflix series while eating some chocolate, also works! ????
I recharge by eating some chocolate and watching a show with my husband/best friend. 🙂

I love to read! It can be hard to find a space to just sit and read without my kids around. Somehow they always find me and have to be right next to or on top of me while they play or do their own thing.
My meditation app, Calm, in my reading chair…..that needs this throw ????????
I recharge by taking a nice long nature walk! Gives me time to think & relax.
Shared on twitter (Nursema @Petunialife) ????
I love to relax and recharge by reading My Jesus Calling Book!!
I love to recharge by reading or going for a walk. ????
Reading or Netflix????
I recharge with a glass of sweet tea, ear phones and hulu!!
Bubble baths or getting into my comfy robe and curling up in bed with my favorite TV show.
Thanks for a great giveaway and inspiration for a little personal space. My fave way to recharge is to get out into nature!
I love to organize lol. It makes me happy to get my space back in to some kind of order. As an added bonus I end up finding things that I forgot about or things that I thought were lost 🙂
Exercise is my ‘me’ time.
I love to get pedicures, but because of money and time that isn’t always possible so my go to is having a little ice cream even if it means hiding out in my garage.
I recharge by doing anything outside! Walking, riding a bike, playing tennis. I also love finding a quiet place to cuddle up and read. I think it’s time for me to make a She Space!
Favorite way to recharge is a nap!! Even if it’s just 10 mins! Makes a difference in my day and my attitude ????
Taking a quiet drive by myself gives me a chance to breathe and just *be*. I hate that I’m going so such lengths to get some alone time anymore, but honestly just having some alone time is how I de-stress. Your screen idea could work wonders, if we have enough space…
I’m really kind of creeped out by how much I needed to see this post right now. This is exactly what I’ve been looking for without realizing it!! I have been struggling with finding “my space” in our tiny apartment, but I think this may communicate to the family that I need some time to decompress after a stressful day without having to repeat myself over and over. Now to find the perfect screen (and a place to put it…) I’ll definitely be sharing this with my Facebook friends!
Hi Mary!! Yes it is SO nice to have a little nook to your self. I have a link to the privacy screen I have, I think it was $72.
xoxoxo
I like going into my computer/craft room and look at different things on line I can make.
I rewind by sitting in my favorite chair with the lights off and reading my fav author (herself) on the kindle. That way I’m not disturbed. I might need that soft throw since the weather is cooler…
I have a date night with my husband tonight and we’re going put to an old hang out of ours (pre-kids) where a fun band is playing and we’re gonna boogie! Live music gives me an instant recharge! Great blanket…love your space! Thanks! ????
A trip to Target all by myself!
I like to recharge by reading books and playing a puzzle game on my iPad. I love pink and the cozy blanket looks beautiful! Thanks for the opportunity!
Chai and chocolate, one or the other or both 🙂
Is it crazy that I use running as my time to recharge?
No! I totally did that during my divorce. It was the only way I could destress. Now I am a couch potato. But I need to get back to running. Good for you!!
A tiny nap!
