And you don’t need to feel guilty about it. Maybe one day my little lady will want to join me on some of these other adventures but, in the meantime, making time for my passions is still important to me. I know that getting out to do the things I love fills my cup and allows me to be a more engaged and joyful parent. Truthfully, having time (and childcare) for these things is a bit more limited these days but I’ve made a point to not feel guilty about taking these opportunities when they do arise. Do I go skiing 5 days a week? No. Definitely not, but I get out there when I can. I hope that as my daughter grows up, she sees her mom living a life of passion and that it encourages her to live passionately herself (whether she likes my activities or is drawn to something completely different). So cheers to 2024- a year more adventures and less mom guilt. #adventuremom #explorewithkids #outdooradventures
