Do what you love!

Here's a little snipit of something I wrote back in October when I was on my way back from visiting my sister in Pittsburgh with my son.

I'm sitting on a plane right now with a sweet boy sleeping on my chest. This boy has barely rested his head  on me since the day he was born so even though I have no legroom because I have a purse and a diaper bag at my feet, no elbow room because apparently the stranger next to me dibsed the armrest for the entire flight, and my back is killing me with a 23 pound baby strapped to me, I am surprisingly content. I absolutely love to travel. I love to get on a plane early in the morning and by afternoon be across the country. Even though I am normally not a morning person and waking up at 7 is usually a struggle, waking up at 3:00 am to catch a 5:00 am flight never seems to phase me. I often get asked how I can afford to travel so much. Well it is my passion so I budget for it. I don't drive a nice car (2001 minivan🚐 woop woop!). I don't buy fancy clothes (right now I'm wearing pants that were $8 at forever 21 and a shirt that was $14 from Costco). I don't own jewelry, nice purses, or get my nails done and that is totes OK with me. Of course I don't have unlimited money so I plan my trips very carefully and try to buy flight tickets when they're on sale and stay in low priced hotels or with family. There are so many places I have yet to travel to and I can't wait to see more of the world. I enjoy taking my children with me, especially Benny while he flies for free on my lap and he's breastfed so I gotta keep him close to his milk jugs.
