ROAD TRIP TO PA PAW

My nanny is currently in Kona, Hawaii. My bestie is in Tulum with her husband. Another friend just landed back in Nashville from Skiing the perfect powder with her family in Montana. And we are currently at a truck stop with a flat tire somewhere outside of Atlanta.

There’s a time and place for all seasons of your life. For a first time solid kiss under a Hawaiian sunset, for a long Italian staycation, or for a forever honeymoon with your lover. And then there’s the baby season.

SISTER

The notion that everyone should have a sister is one I’ve echoed for years. Probably because I wouldn’t know life without one nor would I want to. She's everything. And more. And if I'm honest I'd probably pull any strings possible to have another baby girl and give my daughter a sister. But the way God created families is, not everyone gets a sister and that’s just how life goes. This sometimes makes me sad for my daughter, because I don't want her to miss out on this incredible journey, but it has also lead me to this beautiful unbeknownst truth.

I HATE VALENTINES

IBut it's true. The pressure. The cheaply made chocolate. The expectation. The impossible reservation. The babysitter. The sick kids so you have to cancel it all. It's not my favorite. Not at the top of my list. But if I'm being honest,  I'll never say no to flowers. Even if it's only on Valentine's Day. I like the gesture. And so I'll take it. But please stick to solid colors. White roses are always a win. Okay, and for those of you who would love the opportunity to get some new undies, a bra, or a gift card of massage, or even some high end chocolate, here's some ideas you can lend your husband. If that's not your thing, here's your Galentine's gift to yourself or your bestie. Because really the holiday, is just an excuse to buy yourself something since you haven't swiped that visa since Christmas. And if you really go all the way and get your husband or lover something Valentine's worthy, I've included them below as well.
