Sometimes in life you happen upon friends who see you through it all. I found my friends by accident when I was a scared and exhausted new mom. During the last four years we have seen each other through hard times and celebrated the good times. We have watched our friends move away hoping one day they’ll be back. We have dinners and drink wine and babysit for each other, knowing it really does take a village to raise our kids.

Last weekend we had the rare opportunity to leave the kids with our hubbies (and aunts and grandparents) to take a few days for ourselves. We ate seafood and drank strawberry margaritas and laid on the beach. It was an amazing time to be with friends and sleep in. Thanks to my girlies for a great weekend, let’s do it again soon!
