I have been dying to hop onto my blog and share our amazing Palm Springs trip!
Palm Springs was a dream come true. 2017 was an absolute whirlwind for Paul and I and the week that we left for Palm Springs the Pacific Northwest was hit with torrential downpours so it felt wonderful to walk off the airplane into the Palm Springs airport and feel the sun hit my skin.
We stayed at the Saguaro Hotel in Palm Springs and LOVED it! Every room is a different color based on desert flowers. The hotel itself felt very hipster, like I felt almost not cool enough to be there but then that passed and we soaked it all in and it was actually very relaxing. The center court of the hotel was a pool and lawn area surrounded by flowers covered in cute almost tame hummingbirds. Some of the highlights of our Palm Springs trip were spending the day in Joshua Tree, driving out to Salvation Mountain and fitting in a day of the most Instagrammed places. Palm Springs was such a needed trip it felt so good to soak up some sun and be away from work distractions for both Paul and I.
2018 is going to be a year of growth and I can already feel it starting. Every year I like to pick a word a theme that I center myself around and focus on. Last year the word was balance and I really do think I was able to balance myself a little better especially in my career choosing to part from my 2 job 6 day a week schedule and stick with one full-time job with a 4 day work week. That worked wonders for my health and family life and I am very grateful that I made that decision. This year I thought about Sustainability, Consistency, and Progress as my word but I have ultimately settled on GROWTH emotionally and professionally. I am excited to see what the year brings and I am super excited to be back on the blog!
Have a wonderful New Years all! and check back on the blog for more fun updates.
