Today happens to be my sweet mom’s birthday, so what better time than to take you all with me on a staycation in my hometown area. From an early age she taught me about the 10 minute vacation where she’d get away to the beach and watch the waves come in. This was a regular occurrence for her and from time to time I’d go with her. We’d dig out feet into the sand and focus on the crashing waves. I always knew our time was up when my feet had sunk in and my ankles were now covered. Sometimes we’d talk when the waves were quieter but most of these little vacations were spent in silence. Much can be said and felt even in silence, and getting to that place of quiet comfort is the vacation I often need. So whether you have ten minutes, or a whole weekend to explore I hope you take this as a sign to enjoy where you’re living. Find your spot for a ten minute vacation and mentally take it easy. Many of your are heading to my hometown area of 30a and Destin this spring and summer, so I’m sharing my favorite spots from a true local’s perspective. If you are heading there and have a question about it, please reach out! I love my beach town home and will happily answer questions you have. Tonight’s looks all include pieces from @heidicareydesigns. I’d highly recommend their beautiful line of pajamas and accessories for your staycation starting point! #heidicareydesign
