Parents: Between work, kids and all the other commitments you’ve got going on, it can be tough to take some time for yourself. But for those evenings or weekend afternoons when the kids are at basketball practice, spending the day with friends or staying at the grandparents, we’re here to help. 

Each week, Norton Patch will tell you about one great idea to give you a well deserved break—whether it’s a fun night out, a wine tasting or a quiet way to spend an hour. 

Here’s what we have for today:

If you're looking to relax, try True Nails on Pond Street in Sharon. Its fairly new to the town, opening more than two years ago. But its manicures and pedicures are popular.

If your idea of getting away is a little less quiet and you're just trying to let loose, consider X & O Restaurant on 274 Washington St. in Stoughton. Every Friday and Saturday night there is a live DJ. Have a great dinner, play billiards and settle in for a few drinks.
