“Health is a state of body. Wellness is a state of being.” ~ J. Stanford
.
Becoming a mom was great but it wasn’t easy and it came with challenges. After becoming a mom I lost myself, I didn’t know who I was anymore and I found myself taking care of everyone but myself. I was living my life for others and no longer for myself. I stopped doing the things that brought me joy and happiness and I thought that this is how things needed to be. I was a mom now and my kids came first, they were my #1 and only priority in life. That was one of the biggest life lessons I learned and it took a while but thankfully I found myself again. I slowly started to make myself a priority once more which is not an easy thing to do, especially for us moms. I was taking care of myself, I became a Reiki practitioner, I started kickboxing, I made a point to get out more with friends, get back to checking out concerts and most of all not feeling guilty about any of it. I finally realized what so many people were saying, that you can’t pour from an empty cup and so it’s important to take care of yourself.
.
Recently my girl @jogajana invited me to join her for a special retreat she is hosting at one of my favourite places in stunning Saint Lucia, @stonefieldvillaresort (swipe left to check out how beautiful it is). It’s a journey of discovery, wellness and relaxation and I can’t wait to get started! Things kick off Sunday, November 17th and I’d love for you to join me. Packages include round-trip flights with airport transfers to/from the hotel, your own personal one bedroom villa with a private pool, meals, daily workouts with @jogajana and so much more. For full details or to book just hit up the link in my bio. . When was the last time you filled your own cup? Maybe this is just what you need to rediscover, recharge and realign! You with me?

“It's a funny thing about comin' home. Looks the same, smells the same, feels the same. You'll realize what's changed is you.” ~ F. Scott Fitzgerald
.
And just like that we are back home! We went from warm weather with blue skies and sunshine, stunning white sand beaches, turquoise water, amazing pools, fantastic bars, beautiful sunrises and sunsets with a picture perfect view, and delicious food to much colder temps and views of roof tops covered in snow 😕.
.
Ughhhh I’m missing you @paradisuscancun but I must admit that it feels nice to be back home and be close to all the people I love and care about. Nothing has changed here in the week that we’ve been gone except for us! You have forever changed us Cancun and we are forever grateful to you for that 🥰.
.
Adiós @paradisuscancun, muchísimas gracias por la espectacular hospitalidad y los recuerdos maravillosos 😘.

“Be crazy, be stupid, be silly, be weird. Be whatever, because life is too short to be anything but happy.“ ~ Unknown

“Let the waves hit your feet and the sand be your seat.” ~ Unknown
.
There’s something about the ocean that I can’t explain, it’s something you just know and understand when your in it’s presences. It’s calming, it’s peaceful yet strong, powerful and wild. It’s the feeling you get the moment you see it, feel it, hear it and smell it!
.
I’m feeling beyond blessed to be spending this week in the presences of one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen in my life and with my little ones by my side. I don’t think I could ever get sick of this perfect view here at @paradisuscancun.
.
Do you get these same feelings when you’re at the beach? Have you ever visited @paradisuscancun?

“I’ll ride the wave where it takes me” ~ @pearljam
.
And this wave just happened to take me to @paradisuscancun thanks to my good friends at @aircanadavacations.
.
Yesterday was awesome as I spent half the day on the beautiful white sand beach with the kids playing in the ocean and the other half chillin in our Bali bed by the kids pool watching them living their best lives.
.
One of the things I love about booking with @aircanadavacations is that they have something called The Air Canada Vacation Family Collection. The Family Collection is a group of hotels that are catered specifically towards families. All hotels in the Family Collection include dedicated kids’ pools and supervised clubs, as well as discounts for kids, so you really can bring the whole family and @paradisuscancun is a part of it. They pretty much do all the work for you so you don’t have too.
.
Now off to get our day started! Maybe some time at Kids Club for the littles while I hit up the adults only side at Royal Service? Who knows, let’s see!
.
What’s the most important thing you look for when you book your family vacations?
.
For more info on @paradisuscancun and booking just hit up the link in my bio and find out how @aircanadavacations can help. And keep watching my stories for more behind the scenes here at @paradisuscancun 🌴

“Don’t just tell your children about the world. Show them!” ~ Unknown
.
It’s been 3 years since I last got on a plane to go on an adventure with this little one and since then she would always asks...”Mamma when can we go to the beach again?”. I would always reply with “soon” without giving it much thought. Because really It’s not always easy to get away...money, time, schedules, etc. But lately I’ve been taking my own advice to live life to the fullest and enjoy every moment while we can and so here we are at the beautiful @paradisuscancun!
.
Nothing beat seeing not only Lily’s face light up the minute she saw the ocean but also Samantha and Marcus’. When I saw Lily staring out at the beautiful turquoise ocean today I had to snap a photo because these are the memories I want to remember forever!
.
So when your kids ask you to spend time together and make memories together don’t say “soon” say “ok let’s do it now!”. The perfect time doesn’t exist just like the money tree we wish we all had. Work will still be there tomorrow, bills will still keep coming but sometimes we just need to go for it because what you will get out of it will out weigh everything else!
.
When was your last family destination vacation? Although we just got to Cancun, we are loving it, and with daily non-stop flights from Toronto (twice daily during Dec to April) with @aircanadavacations you can’t go wrong! Thank you for getting us here safe and sound @aircanadavacations and thank you @paradisusbymelia for making this a family vacation to remember 🖤.
