There’s something powerful about starting a new year with intention. While many people dive straight back into work, routines, and responsibilities, others are discovering a better way to begin the year — with a simple New Year’s getaway that blends celebration and relaxation.

I know that some people love cruises...but I also know that some people are a little fearful of them. They simple don't like the idea of not seeing land. I recently found out that there is an option called river cruising. DID YOU KNOW THAT THERE IS A THING CALLED RIVER CRUISES??? River cruises offer the chance to visit lesser-known ports around the world, thanks to the small size and maneuverability of the vessels. On top of that, you'll spend the majority of your trip exploring a different port each day, as most destinations along the waterways are fairly close together.

Good Morning my friends!

In every relationship, there comes a moment when reconnection isn’t enough — you want to celebrate how far you’ve come together. You’ve worked hard, supported each other, and made it through the busy seasons of life side by side. That’s when a simple weekend away turns into something deeper — a luxury escape designed just for two.

Where's all of my road trip folks???  Theres something about a road trip that feels like freedom.  Like adventure.
