Back in the Playroom

We're home!

We love travel, but love to be home. The fun of coming home after a trip is that everything is new again. Toys that haven't been played with for weeks are suddenly new again. Its so much fun. Plus, traveling with kids is hard, even if fully prepared so having the freedom to let them run around the house without worry is a great freedom that I always miss when we are staying in a hotel room the size of our living room :) Note to self...look into renting a condo next time!

Returning from a trip also refreshes me as well. I always have new goals and ambitions that tend to get lost in the normal day to day. Right now my goal is to get my home office set up and focus more on getting my travel business going and writing on a more regular basis. As a mom its hard to focus energy on things other than the kids, but it is so important for your sanity and theirs.

So - we're back! Check our travel blog for new posts on our recent Disney trip and travel tips in general. With my experience traveling to the mouse myself, my hope is to help others with their planning. WDW vacations can be overwhelming so I look forward to breaking down the pieces and having a little fun :)

But Mommy Still Needs Naptime!!!!

Its gone...so gone... I think the days of a 2 hour semi break in the middle of the day are over. My 3 year old won't nap anymore.

I am mourning the loss of this time. There are 5 stages right? Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance. I have been in denial for a couple of weeks now. I started to see the writing on the wall just prior to our last vacation, but I still wanted to believe it was only temporary. The bargaining began about that time as well. "We can have ice cream when you wake up if you take a nap". Today I am dealing with the anger. Most likely because the darling was up until 11:30p last night because she fell asleep around 5 yesterday afternoon watching TV. So today as I was insistent that she "TAKE A NAP" which only resulted in her laying in her bed for an hour and having an accident (which hasn't happened for quite some time now). Now on to depression...
