So, you want to earn a passport stamp? Without hesitation, I will become your biggest cheerleader in this pursuit. But if you’ve never ventured outside of the USA, I can understand why you might be hesitant to take that next step. That’s why today I am excited to share my experience and advice in planning your first trip abroad.
Confession… my Christmas tree has been up for 2 weeks now. (Muahaha.) It’s safe to say, the spirit of the holiday season is alive and well in our house. And if we weren’t already pushing for it ourselves, we’ve already received requests for gift ideas from friends and family for our little ones.
I don’t know about you, but I have a strong desire to be a “Max-Out” Mama. My goal is to MAX OUT my life in every area, by making the most out of each role and responsibility that I have. Each day we’re given the opportunity to create our own stories, which raises the question: What kind of life do YOU want to live?
All couples have “their place” right? Carowinds is one of ours. Just minutes south of Charlotte, straddling the North Carolina/South Carolina state lines, Zach and I have turned to Carowinds for MANY a day date. We have the absolute best time together! We share so many laughs and so much excitement from being flung in the air at maximum speeds. We love our alone time to ride all the big rides but have also learned to love Carowinds with toddlers. They love it too! (Thrill seekers in the making. 😉 )

I’m all about taking time to invest in your marriage and couples’ care, but also believe it’s important to focus on self-care and self-growth, within and for a relationship. If we, ourselves, are happy and fulfilled, we can ultimately show up completely whole for others.
Whether your marriage is on point or it needs a little TLC… we all need to be reminded of certain principles to have a more enjoyable relationship. Marriage doesn’t just “happen”; you must be intentionally choosing your spouse every day.
