When you’re the glue that keeps the family going every day, that also means your the person planning their adventures of a lifetime….

My family knows that when it comes to vacations, they just need to wake up on the day I tell them to at the time I tell them and they just get in the car. But how do I make all that magic happen before we’re off on some adventure? Lots and lots of research. I spend so many hours planning every detail of our trip so that once we are gone, there’s no worries for any of us.

But Rita, I don’t have unlimited amounts of time to plan the perfect vacation. Don’t worry, I’ve got you! I learned to plan by following an old military saying, “proper planning and preparation prevent piss poor performance.” And what mom wants to hear, “I forgot my toothbrush,” from your kid as you board the cruise ship where toothbrushes are $12? Yeah, not this mom!

So I’m going to give you every tool in my tool-belt, from camping meals to fun packing lists for the kids. Vacation shouldn’t be stressful, so let me guide you along as you enjoy every moment with the growing kids!
