So I’m the kind of person who loves to take my kids with me everywhere. Yes, I am THAT mom. Sorry if it annoys you, I just happen to like my children. And think that they can get as much out of an adventure in a cave, museum, movie or concert as I can – in their own way of course.
All this to say – my family is coming to Type-A-Mom with me. Which means I get to prep for myself as a speaker and networker, AND prep for my family as a mother. Yeah! 🙂 Fun. Goody. See my previous post about the million-bajillion hats of a mommy blogger. Nuff said, right?
So far my preparation has been finalizing my clothing sponsorship with KikaPaprika (Cannot WAIT to introduce the company to you in detail), and filling in the bare spots elsewhere. Like shoes. I went shoe shopping for the first time since I bought my current tennies 2 years ago. I think the previous shopping spree for my feet was back in Texas before we moved here!
I managed to snag a cute pair of sandal-heel type things (I’m sure they have a special name), a pair of low-cut sneakers that can dress up or down, and a pair of red loafer things that are super cute. I love red.
Now that I have a new, working clothes dryer I am finishing the mountain of laundry that grew out of control. Then the beginning of the packing process and finalizing the traveling plans. Almost here! I cannot wait!
Still to do – Make sure I have enough activities for the kids in the car, since we are DRIVING out to North Carolina. A 12 trip if we drove straight through but we are talking about traveling with three children. There will be no lack of stops, I’m sure. 🙂 Any tips from you wise women on traveling long distances with a year-old baby, a 3 year old and a 4 1/2 year old?
You will be surprised at how well they travel! Have a great time, and keep on enjoying those sweeties!
My son has made getting out of town SO much more interesting! I love showing him new things and watching him absorb new experiences. Besides, some of my favorite memories from childhood are family vacations – why would I want anything different for my son? 🙂
