GIRLS TRIP!
Are you thinking about a girls trip with some of your girlfriends? DO IT!!!! You will not regret it!
I am all about self care and I have learned that trips with my girlfriends are so good for me and my family! Taking that time for me to just relax and hangout with the girls is good for the soul. It also is a time when my husband can see all the things I do while I am gone, haha.
In all seriousness over the past 5 years I have been on at least one girls trip a year. Some of these trips are “work” trips, but also packed with lots of fun. I am very thankful that my husband never gives me a hard time about going and doing this for myself. He knows that my love language is travel and he is supportive of me having some down time for myself, because we all know that as moms when we are home there are always 1000 things that need to get done. If you are like me relaxing at home does not happen often enough.
I also must mention that traveling with your family is 100% different from traveling with your friends. You only have to worry about yourself, say what?!
I must say that my girlfriends are the best and always make every single trip amazing!
What you need to do is talk to your girlfriends and decide you are going to make time for a trip! Figure out a time that works for all of you and let me help plan a getaway! Some great ideas would be a Florida beach trip, a cabin in Tennessee, Disney (yes, adults can enjoy Disney and I have been on multiple girls trips here and let me tell you they are a BLAST!), Universal (I have been here a couple times with girlfriends as well and we loved it! A totally different experience from being with your family), a cruise or all-inclusive resort.
I promise that it is worth taking the time for yourself. You deserve it. I have had people say to me that they would feel guilty not taking their kids. My girls have never ever said a word about me being gone and going without them. They know that I work hard and they know that they will go to on the next trip. Remember that you have to take care of yourself, so that you can take care of others!
I cannot wait for my next girls trip!!!!
