About the Author

Hey there, I’m Mandi — married to my college sweetheart for nearly 19 years, mama to three, and a firm believer that strong marriages don’t happen by accident… they’re built intentionally.

Early in our marriage my husband and I hit a rough patch. We were knee deep in raising two kiddos, who were less than a month and a half apart, and living overseas away from all of our family and American friends. (thankfully the Lord provided us an amazing friend group in Australia, where we lived for 7 years). We were tired and just trying to get through the days. Our marriage took a backseat.

My mother-in-law had a trip planned to visit us in Australia. She suggested my husband and I take a weekend away while she was visiting and she would watch the kids. At that point, I’m not sure if my husband or myself were too thrilled of the idea of spending a weekend together, but we went. We went in to that weekend excited about taking naps and sleeping in, but something more happened.

We laughed together. We went on dates. We had meaningful conversation. All things we hadn’t done in a very long time. We reconnected and came back to our kids refreshed and renewed – as parents and a married couple.

That weekend we promised to take at least one kid-free trip a year going forward. To date, we’ve been married 19 years in April and have 36 kid-free trips under our belt!

Once we returned from that trip we began prioritizing meaningful date nights — not to escape our kids, but to protect what holds it together.

Now, I help Christian moms create space for connection, rest, and reconnection through simple rhythms, faith-filled encouragement, and realistic getaway ideas that fit real life.

My heart is to help you protect what matters most — your marriage — so your family can thrive.

So whether you’re planning a romantic reset, craving deeper connection, or simply longing for more intention in your everyday life…you’re in the right place.
