September was about one thing: quality time. 🤍
There was plenty of real estate happening behind the scenes, but September’s camera roll belongs to my kids.
I took a step away from the usual routine and spent the week exploring the French Riviera with them…and this month’s camera roll is basically everything I hoped it would be.
We made Nice, France our home base and explored the coast from Menton and Èze to Monaco, Villefranche-sur-Mer and Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. We wandered Old Nice, watched sunsets over the Mediterranean, explored the gardens at Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild, saw Monte-Carlo and the Monaco F1 circuit, spent a day in the Verdon Gorge and surrounding towns, got out on the water, snorkeled caves, ate an unreasonable amount of seafood, pastries and macarons, and somehow walked approximately 47 million steps. 😂
But the best part wasn’t any one place.
It was having uninterrupted time with my three kids. No rushing from one thing to the next. Just exploring somewhere new together, eating really REALLY good food, laughing…a lot, making memories and actually enjoying all of it.
They’re getting older, schedules are getting busier, and getting all four of us in the same place at the same time isn’t something I take for granted anymore.
September was about saying yes to the trip, taking all the pictures, ordering the dessert…sometimes two desserts 🙂↔️, staying out for the sunset and making the kind of memories I hope they’ll talk about years from now.
France was incredible. But having all three of my kids there to experience it with me was the part I’ll remember most. 🇫🇷🤍
September, you’ll be a hard one to top.
