Planning to rent a car to drive down south for spring break because plane tix are twice the price during spring break. Going to the beach somewhere for 5 days with my kiddo and I am going to Vegas for a wedding in October-I may have mentioned Vegas. So, this may not be major travel to some and I am not going abroad, but I am quite excited about these trips!

I haven’t seen one of my friends in 20 plus years, since I was a teen and will see her this year! I am going to meet her in Savannah in the spring and Vegas in the fall! I feel like though we have not seen each other in so long, that we are still so connected and have so much in common. The older I get, the things that are most important to me are connections to loved ones (besides faith).

I am totally excited about destinations new and old this year, and about gorgeous scenery and gorgeous hotel rooms. But seeing those that I have history with and celebrating with them is just as exciting as going to Paris-maybe;). But though I am ready to let loose and let my hair down and wear some fabulous clothes, I am ready to find some of that old fun spirit that is hidden underneath my ‘momness’.

I am counting portions, doing my 21 Day Fix work out and taking care of my body. I am working on my spirit and attitude as well and trying to get my finances in order. And for the first time since being a mom, I am not going to worry about money when I travel. I will also feel confident because I am going to get into the best shape of my adult life. I hope that all of these positive changes will change not only me, but influence my daughter in a positive way and others that have known my challenges over the years.

Looking at the gorgeous mounds of snow in this ‘blizzard’ we are having in D.C. metro, I am cooking delicious and healthy food and mapping out all of the good to come this year. Hope that you have a safe and warm and positive weekend too!
