My husband and I escaped to Miami in February sans kids, something we had put off for one reason or another for way too long. Being the beach bums that we are, we soaked in the beautiful beach, read, took long walks, enjoyed afternoon happy hour and I finally made a workout playlist! I was reminded of how truly important it is to do this on a regular basis.
This was the first time that we completely unplugged from our daily routines. I am fortunate to work with an amazing team who helped to protect me from myself. My colleagues worked very hard not to send me e-mails while I was away (BFA policy) – thank you!! We also could not have done it without the village of family members (thanks Mom!) and friends who helped keep our kids in line.
