Feeling Like You’re Going Nowhere? Why not go Somewhere instead?

Lately the seasonal change and rainy weather have been taking their toll on me. The summer and early fall foliage fed my soul and creative energies. As of late, as I chatted about recently in this post, I’ve been feeling a bit stuck.

As I sit down to write this blog post, I have to admit that I not am not okay with how little Catherine and I see each other these day. The pandemic and physical distancing recommendations haven’t helped in that, but with us living so far away from one another, gone are the days of seeing my best friend every day. I guess for many of us, that’s kind of just “life” these days and as we get older. So when I do get to see her, I want to ensure that it’s the most amazing time I can make it. Which is why I was so excited to plan a quick little getaway to Niagara Falls for some food, some wine, and lots of laughter together. Let me tell you all about the perfect BFF getaway you didn’t realize you needed and how you can recreate it this season with yours!
