I love going away with my family or my hubby, but there’s something so amazingly fantastic about a girls getaway. I’ve been lucky enough to have a few, including most recently going away for two nights to Mont-Tremblant with two of my besties. We spent an afternoon at the spa, indulged in great meals and a few sweet treats, we slept in, and we laughed till we cried (on numerous occasions). I feel like having great girlfriends is like always having a lifeline – if they’re true friends they love you unconditionally, even when you screw up, they’re there unconditionally, even when it’s not convenient, and they’re your biggest fan, even when you’re a dork. You can tell them anything, really anything, and even though they might playfully rub your little nose it in later, they listen and care and keep your deepest secrets.

Girlfriends really are the spice (and bread & water) of life. And it’s important to make time to be together. Life gets so hectic so quickly, and before long we’re sucked into adulthood and are pulled in a zillion directions. But a quick weekend away together can be the perfect way to recharge and reconnect. And I had an absolute blast this past weekend. Thanks Amanda and Jax! I love you.
