Hope you brought wine...

Right now it is so important that we all take some time to focus on self care. Fortunately inspiration struck a couple months ago and I booked my first Airbnb for our family. The timing of this fall escape to Michigan ended up being impeccable. I don’t know why it took this long for us to Airbnb but is was a great solution for travel right now. If you have yet to use them here is an opportunity for you to save up to $65 on a qualified booking: https://www.airbnb.com/c/christined17734?referral_share_id=7c04b972-040d-405c-9789-a3b00b72bcad We are even contemplating booking one in another area of our own city this winter. Staycation is better when you are not in your house.

when we arrived at the Smitten Mitten I was ready for some r and r. The cottage’s doormat informed me that I was at the right place… and of course I brought wine with me.

A fire in the fireplace.

A cheese and fruit plate.

A bath full of bubbles and a glass of wine (ok the bottle was there ready to refill). I sipped on the Stoller Reserve Chardonnay as I soaked in some suds and stared at the storm outside. Relaxation accomplished.
