It is with mixed feelings that I prepared for this trip. However, regardless of the so many reasons not to go, I knew in my mind that it was the right choice. So, with my husband and children left behind and some good friends ready to help as needed, I boarded a plane for a vacation from my regular life.
I’m at peace now with my decision and really enjoying the change in scenery and bonding again with my family that we have lived away from so very many years.
So for the next week or so, things around this place will look a bit different. I’m a little disappointed about my missing sewing time but I did bring a little project to work on if I let my self slow down enough.
We will see.







Love the picture of the trees. I hope you have a wonderful time.
Not every vacation includes your husband and children so don’t feel bad. ENJOY HAWAII!!!
p.s. I’m jealous
you know every mom deserves this.. and yet we always feel guilty about doing it, so just remember… you are WORTH it!
I’m always so homesick before a trip that I can hardly bear to leave. I hope you are able to give in to the beauty around you and make some lovely memories.
Enjoy your holidays! This place looks like heaven!!!
I am so glad you made this decision!! I know you will have lots of fun and be able to relax!! Enjoy the new scenery and family as well. I will be waiting with ears wide open to hear ALL about your vacation!!!
How fun! I hope this trip fills you up in just the ways you need. Enjoy the gorgeousness of the islands and take lots of pictures for those of us who have never been.
