In this super busy life that we all live it is so easy to forget why we do what we do. Recently, we had a wonderful two day trip to Fernie, BC planned with some lovely friends. Their gorgeous home in the mountains was just what we needed to recharge!

Days filled with skiing, hot chocolates, sledding and warm, cozy fires were just what the doctor ordered! I love this business so much, and we really do eat, breathe and sleep Buttercream (sounds delicious right?) but once in a while, it is so important to take a small step back.

Our short getaway became a little bit of an unexpected “forced holiday.” We experienced a heavy snowstorm, and the highways became closed in both directions, so we were really, truly stuck. We decided to make this a great adventure and get some awesome food, play some great games and watch movies. In a world of constant stimulation, this was one of the most amazing things that could have happened to us. If I have learned anything from this, it is that truly unplugging and relaxing/refocusing is so amazing and your feelings of why you do what you do will come back to you quickly. This business is so incredible that waking up in the morning to work is a pleasure, not a chore but resetting my focus for a few days came at a great time!

Our two day holiday turned into six days and five snowy nights and getting back home was lovely, but there is a certain charm of mountains, a wood fire and what feels like never ending snow.

My advice to you is take a break and never let anything stop you from doing what makes your heart happy. Whether that is in your work, in your family life, in your time off, or your side hustle, when you find it you will know it. Keep following those dreams, you won’t be sorry!
