So we woke up Saturday morning and decided to pack up the kids, the car and go for a mini vacation.\u00a0 Not the usual way I plan a trip but we found a hotel in the keys, had my mom walk our dog and off we went.\u00a0 As a business owner and a mom of 2 young children there is no such thing as vacation time per say but I am a true believer that vacations are good for the soul and the stress level!<\/p>\n
As my stress seminar is fast approaching on May 21 @ Kol Tikvah at 7:30 I am always looking for new ways to reduce my stress.\u00a0 Now you would think that traveling with 2 small children in a car for 2 hours would add to the stress but I am quickly finding out that practice makes perfect.\u00a0 The more you take them, the easier it is.\u00a0 I left the house a mess, didn’t really forget anything and had a blast!<\/p>\n
While I was away I thought of all the things we would have been doing this weekend such as birthday parties, hanging out with friends, going to pool and the gym which are all great but on the other hand, we exposed our girls to kayaking for the first time and wave runners.\u00a0 It was a new experience and one that I want to continue to do with them.<\/p>\n
Yes, it is work and yes it costs money to travel but there are always deals to be had and ways to avoid stress so I am a new less stressed person which inspired me to write my first blog in forever.<\/p>\n
So are you for or against vacations?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
