This weekend some good friends and I scheduled a trip up to MI to stay at our
friend Jen's lake house. We all love our families more than anything,
but sometimes mamas just need a little break.
We spent our time walking on the beach, sitting on the porch drinking coffee, eating
ridiculous amounts of cheese and crackers, drinking mimosas and wine,
and mostly hanging out and talking. It was perfect!!
In case you're wondering what Red Tent means, it's a biblical reference to a place where
women must go when they're menstruating or giving birth. I know you're trying to figure out
what this has to do with our weekend, but bear with me. In these "red tents" the women get
together to "share thoughts and wisdom, exchange gossip, seek solace in each other, and
pass on their knowledge of midwifery and motherhood." Rachel had brought this up
one night when we were all at dinner and we decided to adapt the theory. So for us
Red Tent is a group of friends who keep you strong, pick you up when you need it,
and are there for you at all times. Together we are each other's "red tent."
Hopefully this is the first of many Red Tent getaways!
