I Paused Motherhood, Hardest Thing Ever. Best Thing Ever.

So I took a girls only trip and it was one of the best things I have done as a woman, one of the hardest as a mother.  Would I do it again? totally! heres why… 

I had always dreamt of becoming a mom.  I became a mother for the first time almost 8 years ago, and friend, what a journey.  If you are a mother you know, but let me give you some perspective on how hard I mom. 

I did extended breastfeeding, co-slept (still do), without shame, and also let me just inform you that you do not have to have sex only in your bed,  you are welcome. 

My husband and I decided to live on one income so this dream of motherhood could become true, (so thankful for him).  And then I dived in into the waters of motherhood, deep deep into the water.  Pausing it was not in my radar. 

Our Trip to Italy: with kids, with friends and a huge food budget.

It all started by putting Rome in my annual vision board for 2019.  We do this every year, pray about it and then plan a lot and dream, that's my part.
Felipe's part is to take me down to earth slowly.  I can be very intense.

This trip was planned over breakfast with friends one day, and I'm so happy it came true.  It was a dreamy trip filled with laughter, wine, lots of paninis and gelato.

Picnic at Villa Borghese (there was no food involved, just wine)
