The last time I went to Italy I was a completely different person and much MUCH younger.

No kids.
No transition days.
No stepping on LEGOs at 6am.

Just pasta, wine, and wandering cobblestone streets like I had my life together. I was living the life I dreamt of.

Fast forward 10+ years…

Now I’m a single mom of two wild boys, life is messy, and most days I’m just trying to find happiness somewhere between laundry piles, working full time, and tantrums.

But in 30 days I’m going back to Italy ✨
This time with my partner.
No kids.
No schedule. (Okay maybe a schedule because we all know I’m a planner). Just adventure, good food, and hopefully remembering who I am outside of “mom.”

I’m starting an Italy countdown to document my trip and sharing the whole adventure; from packing, planning, travel chaos, and all the moments in between.

Also important question:

What is the ONE thing I absolutely need to do in Rome?
(It’s been 10 years… I need suggestions 😅)
