Welcome 2023!!! 💙🥳🎉

Movement. Movement is what drives me and makes me smile. Last year I had the best time surfing in the sunshine, white water rafting during Gauley Season, and hitting the rock gym.

This New Year I want to surf whenever possible, explore and climb outside after gaining experience inside and head to WV for another Gauley rafting run on the Gorge.

Cheers to another year of adventure and movement and many memories along the way 💙💙💙

I vow to never use the line “I wish I tried that but I never did”. What ways do you want to move this year?

Now back to reality I am going to post some highlights over the next few days from our vacation 🥰
One of my favorite parts of Mexico was soaking up the beauty of the landscape, the adorable animals, and the amazing artwork at our resort.

In the crazy chaos of life a step away is always needed to just breathe 🧘‍♀️

Do wet suits really keep you warm in chilly waters 🌊🥶

Before we left for our trip I knew heading down that the water would be cold. . .and I am someone who is FREEZING all the time. My ideal temp is 85 - I am in a sweatshirt anything below 80! However I knew that we were coming to a location with gorgeous water and how can you pass up that crystal clear blue and not want to jump in? (Side note though my kids went swimming in the water without wetsuits as well during the trip and were all smiles - I just prefer water to be above 75)

I went on Amazon and ordered 3mm wetsuits for myself and the kiddos and theirs were around $35 and mine was maybe $45 and WORTH EVERY PENNY!

Crab Island was so beautiful to visit and one of the highlights on our trips and if it wasn’t for the schools of jellyfish everywhere we would have snorkeled for longer than 5 minutes 🤣 but such an incredible place to dock the boat and hang out. The sand bars about a 30 minute boat ride also in the area were worth the drive and it was just gorgeous.

With the wetsuit on surfing the last day the water temp didn’t bother me AT ALL! I could have surfed all day and wouldn’t have felt cold!

If you are heading somewhere sunny but the water isn’t crazy warm in the next month or 2, I would add a wetsuit to your list so you can enjoy the water no matter what the temperature. So happy we have these for future excursions. We will definitely be surfing the waves next trip now that we have ours- no stopping us now! 😁😁😁

One of my favorite memories of our spring break vacation was surfing! 💙💙💙🏄🏼‍♀️ 🏄‍♂️🏄‍♂️

My daughter was so bummed she couldn’t join in- she just got her cast off and her surgeon said no surfing ☹️so just me and the boys (but she at least got to stand on one! I promised her next vacation she is all in!)

Highly recommend if you are ever staying in the Ft. Walton beach/Destin area. They are amazing!!! So patient, great instructors, and we loved every minute of it!! 🤙

We will definitely be back next year to catch some waves - everyone already put the request in! 🤣🌊🏄🏼‍♀️🏄‍♂️🏄‍♂️🏄🏼‍♀️

Eating on vacation is always hard— even with the best of intentions there are going to be times when it’s hard to control so when I can I make myself as many meals as possible when we are not on the go.

🥗Salads for lunch and dinner are my go to. . . Easy to prep when coming in from the beach I boiled a bunch of eggs so I could throw some on for protein- lots of veggies and some fruit on the side

It’s near impossible for me to eat how I want while we are away my advice just do the best you can when you can! 💙💙💙
