Just returned from an overnight stay in beautiful Montecito.

This 24-hour mini retreat did include the kids, however, I am feeling so revived and renewed and ready for the rest of the summer.

The 4 little ones completely entertained themselves and the mommies were able to sit under the shade of an umbrella on the deck, exchange stories, take in the view and step away from the everyday norm for a minute.

I truly appreciate the chance to be in these breathtaking surroundings even if just for a short 24 hours.

This photo journal says it all…

Thank you, Mel for hosting.

Enjoyed the conversations. The midnight dip in the hot tub.

Just what I needed.

So grateful.

XOXO
