a much needed break


I've been having a bit of a hard time lately, I'm not sure why but I've been in this funk that has been really hard to get out of. I decided to take matters into my own hands and go somewhere to get away. I found a great deal on a trip to London and talked my sister into going with me. I can't tell you how nice it was to get away, to step back from being a mom and business owner. I tend to over analyze things and stress myself out easily, I can be so hard on myself that I just needed to relax and not sweat the small stuff.

Anyways, London was amazing! I went for the first time when I was pregnant with my daughter, I fell in love with the city then. Going back only reinforced how much I want to live there, it is such an amazing and beautiful city. I love wandering the streets, I love it that people don't work super long hours, that is a city of that size shops still close at 6 and have late night shopping once a week. I love it that when you get on the tube the men stand up and let the women sit. The city is clean even though rubbish bins are hard to find, rarely will you see a homeless person on the streets. I love it that the museums are free and always packed!! I love it that their version of a parade has nothing to do with clowns and candy being thrown out. It is really one of my favorite places!

I feel the same way about Venice. I'm so happy you were able to get away and regroup. You deserve it. I can't wait to someday wander the streets of London

Wow, you went to London, how fun for you and your sister. I'm sure it was so nice to get away and relax. I know when I go away it helps me to get back into being a mom. I'm so glad you had such a good time.
