Hey party people! Wooow what a weekend! Thanks so much for hanging out with me while I share with you this special weekend prep video! For the first time since having kids Alex and I got away for the weekend! It was... crazy. haha I have never spent the night away from my kids unless I have been in the hospital having another kid. haha! And even then I knew the kids were with Alex! I was extremely nervous about it, but as you know - As it always is - everything was totally fine!
This beach trip for Alex and I was kind of our babymoon, our 15 year wedding anniversary gift, which will happen this December), our birthday gifts to ourselves ( we both have birthday's in June), aaaand 11 years in the making!! haha Thanks for joining us on this wonderful beach adventure!
Best,
Kim!

It's so hard to switch from being parents to being a couple again. Can so relate. It's almost like you forget what to talk about, but kids are a huge part of your identity, in this season of life, so it's normal. Glad you got to enjoy each other's company without distractions. 😀

I knew you would get them. I would have bought them if I found them. My "kids" are in their 60's and if I don't hear from them I think something is wrong. I'm so happy that you got away. You were glowingly beautiful. 🤗🤗

Love to you all!

So glad you were able to enjoy a getaway with your hubby. We have tried to do this every year since our son was born. Because life, it hasn’t always happened, but we try. We are privileged to have parents who think it’s as important as we do and love to keep our little guy. It’s just nice to reset and be a couple.
