    100 Million Days

    June 23, 2018 in Motherhood

    Lukas is turning five tomorrow. I can’t help it, but something always happens to me the day before my kids’ birthdays. I get super emotional. I don’t think it’s going to happen this time and then BAM! Queue the waterworks.

    “I love you for 100 million days.” Lukas likes to tell me this. I don’t know where he got it from but I love hearing it. Here’s a little something I wrote for my soon to be five year old.

    100 Million Days

    100 million days is not enough with you.
    When you’ve got a mama’s heart, only eternity will do.
    You woke up with a big smile and asked if you were five today.
    Not yet, my sweet prince.
    One more sleep and it will be your birthday.

    The Hardest Thing About Dry Camping...

    June 15, 2018 in RV life

    Camping season is in full swing! And with Father’s Day weekend approaching, it’s going to be a busy one! If you’re unfamiliar with dry camping it basically means that you are camping without any hook-ups. That means no water, no electricity and no sewer....

How fun is this foldable chair, tho? I wasn't sold when the hubs first bought it. But then I sat on it, and it's now Mama's chair.

    #throwbackthursday to Lukas' 8th birthday party.🥳

I was one of those people who used to say I wouldn't make a big deal out of each kids' birthday. Welp, that didn't age well! 🫠

If there's anything I've learned from motherhood, it's this: Life is short. Celebrate all the things! 💖

P.S. This audio is for funsies. I'm not encouraging wreckless spending. Got that, Karen? 🤣

    The answer: You can't! 

It's part of the fun. 🤪

All you can do is try to make things LESS stressful by being prepared. 

The airport experience gives me so much anxiety! It's almost enough to make me want to rethink our travel plans. The crowds, the lines, going through customs. 😵‍💫

We prepare by:

• Arriving early- we don't want to panick if something unexpected happens.
•Prep the kids so they know what to expect.
• We keep all our documents together in a family passport holder- eliminates the stress of trying to figure out who's holding what and where.
• Download movies/games to keep kids entertained.

Most importantly, it helps to get in the right mindset to keep stress levels in check. ✔️ 

Do you love or hate the airport?
