Between a busy career and family of five, it's rare that Jennifer Garner is photographed taking time out for herself.

The "13 Going on 30" star hit up Williams-Sonoma with a friend for some retail therapy in a blue blouse and jeans in Santa Monica, California on Tuesday (August 6).

Just the day before, the 41-year-old super mom picked up little Seraphina from her dance class with 7-year-old Violet in tow.

Career wise, filming is underway on her upcoming movie, "Imagine," costarring Al Pacino, Josh Peck, Annette Bening, and Christopher Plummer.
