**Let’s Look At… Maintaining Friendships** {4.9.2025}

Happy Happy Wednesday friends!! I can’t believe it’s already April of 2025! The year is flying by!

On the second Wednesday of every month, I link up with Shay from MixandMatchMama and Erika from ALittleBitofEverything. Today, we are talking about how I maintain friendships. This is a hard one. I mean, everyone is so busy!

With all my besties, I have group texts. Even though some of us live far apart, we try to consistently text each other, just to check in a couple times during the week.

I really do smile and get a little boost when I talk to my girlfriends. Funny GIFs are the best!

I also love when we reminisce and talk about stories from our past. It’s always a good laugh.

We also send each other Marco Polos every now and again. They’re always a treat to actually see and hear each other. Always good for a little soapbox or advice.

We try really hard to plan a girl’s trip, once a year. We pick a weekend, put it on the calendar, and really try to stick to it.

This is often hard, but typically works the best for us.

Here are some of our girl’s trips of past. These are a few of our trips over the last 20 year friendship.

And, we try to set a dinner or lunch date every few months. Even if we bring the kiddos. They love seeing each other too!

I feel like I used to be a very social person. However, as I’ve gotten older, I feel like I am different than other moms. It could be the age difference. I had Addison later in life.

I mean, I can talk to my close friends all day long. But get me in a room with moms I don’t know well, I feel so awkward. Haha!

Do you have any other advice?

And here are the Let’s Look prompts for the year!

January: Low Level Goals for 2025

February: How We Work on our Marriage

March: How I Reset for the Week

Next month’s topic will be: Our Wellness Routines

I’ll see you back on Friday!
