Why Alex Drummond’s ‘PNO’ Had Fans Buzzing—and the Sweet Family Details You Might’ve Missed
Alex Drummond explains her 'PNO' with husband Mauricio — and why it’s so important for parents
Alex Drummond, 28, and her husband Mauricio Scott recently had a “PNO,” according to her Instagram and while the photos were adorable, several people online—including us—couldn’t help but wonder what exactly that was. Well, we not only found what a PNO is, but we also discovered what Alex and Scott did during theirs. Read on for more.
What is a PNO and why do parents swear by it?
PNO is a slang acronym for the phrase parents’ night out, and is used when two parents—you guessed it—have a night out away from their children. It’s supposed to help the parents recharge and reconnect with who they are away from their children.
And on the opposite side of things, it can also help the children become less reliant on their parents, ensuring that they can become strong and independent adults later in life.
Now, you might be wondering are there certain things that qualify as a PNO and the answer is no! The night is meant for you and your partner or friend to go out and do things that you enjoy, like seeing a movie, eating at a nice restaurant or even just taking a nice long walk.
Basically, as long as your PNO gets you out of the house and away from your children for a little while, then it’s perfect.
Inside Alex Drummond and Mauricio Scott’s adorable PNO
In Alex’s initial PNO post, she didn’t exactly say what she and Scott did during their time away from their daughter Sofia; however, based on her social media stories from a few days prior we can assume it was an overnight trip for a friend’s wedding.
On August 12, both Alex and her mother Ree’s website The Pioneer Woman shared that Sofia spent her first ever night away from her parents so they could attend a wedding back in Oklahoma. They also revealed that Sofia didn’t stay with Ree and instead ended up at Scott’s mother’s house—whom Sofia knows as Abuela. The family’s golden retriever George, was also at the sleepover, which lasted one night and ended earlier this week.
This wasn’t the first time Alex had left her daughter, though. Back in March of this year, she traveled to Charleston, South Carolina, to attend her sister Paige’s bachelorette party, leaving Sofia with her dad and Abuela.
“Haven’t left this girl [Sofia] for more than like 3 hours haha so feeling a lil’ sad about leaving her for 3 nights. But I’m telling myself it’ll be a good band-aid to rip off,” Alex wrote on Instagram at the time. “Plus she has the best daddy ever and I know she’ll be in the best hands.”
Speaking of Sofia’s dad, Scott has also done some overnight trips alone before, leaving his daughter and wife home all by themselves for some much-needed girl time.
