We just celebrated my dad’s birthday over the weekend and if you’re looking for a fun birthday or holiday idea, I highly recommend renting a duffy.

Though I completely flubbed and booked for Rainbow Harbor instead of the bay, we had so much fun having lunch out on the water and taking the kids around to see the Queen Mary and Shoreline Village. Next time, I’ll definitely make sure I book for the bay so we can cruise around Naples and up and down the canals. You can check out London Boat Rentals or Anchors Away Rentals for the bay/Naples Canals (or if you want to do Rainbow Harbor, see Boat Rentals Long Beach).

With Valentines past and the month more than half way over, I’m looking forward to the next two months and prepping for all of our March and April activities (more birthdays, baby showers, bridal showers and Easter!).

Another week of sticking to the 5AM wakeups and while not every morning is the same routine, this last week I:

  • mixed in some light weights between my usual yoga videos,

  • found a Pilates video I really enjoyed and am going to incorporate more of,

  • hopped into the sauna and am also going to work on making more time for that (and possibly our cold plunge too?)

I also started The Power Pause on audiobook this week and am really enjoying it so far — will report back with any key takeaways once I’m done.
