🍷 Cozy wine or high-energy fun? Why not both?

We had such a fun weekend. A few times a year, TJ and I plan one-on-one time with the kids. This time, TJ and Charlie headed to Disneyland (which almost didn’t happen thanks to lingering airline chaos), and Noelle and I enjoyed a cozy girls weekend at home.

With just the two of us, we got to slow down, enjoy some quality time, and make the simplest things feel special. The boys had a blast on their trip too, and we were all ready for a happy reunion on Monday. I hope you’re able to find a little special downtime (or a fun adventure!) before the holiday chaos kicks in too!
