Bitter Sweet Butterflies Before the Maldives

As the Maldives trip gets closer, my excitement is growing. But so are the butterflies in my stomach. It’s going to be the first time in a long time that Dane and I are away from the kids for more than a couple of days. And honestly, I’m feeling all the emotions.

I’m so grateful my amazing niece is stepping in to care for them while we’re gone, with extra love and support from my in-laws. Knowing they’ll be surrounded by family helps calm my heart. I won’t lie it’s tough not to be close to them, even for a little while. They meant the world to us. We wish we could do it as a family. That would be a beautiful thing, but this is a reset that mama and dada need. So much has happened, and We want to refocus on us.

His planning is special to me

https://www.youtube.com/@KokoandDaneThis trip is something Dane planned as a surprise, and it means so much to be able to take this time to reconnect with him. We are looking forward to seeing new things and relaxing and reset together. We even created a new YouTube channel to share the moments. I’m reminding myself that showing my kids that it’s okay to take time for yourself. Your relationship is part of loving them too.

So here’s to sandy toes, clear waters, and trusting in God and having faith that home is in good hands and while we chase a little sunshine. Follow us on our channel as we post our videos of getting ready for our trip and the Vacation of our dreams.
