Hi everyone! I was gone for a week in Costa Rica, ziplining around the forest and doing some whitewater rafting, seeing a live volcano… it was definitely a change of pace.
Here’s a new tip for your family summer travel: It can get pretty confusing when all of your family’s passports look exactly the same. It only took me two times of opening and closing all 4 of our passports, trying to identify one person’s in particular, to realize that was pretty darn annoying! I travel with a little goody bag that includes some Post-It flags, so I put a different colored Post-It flag on each passport. Now I know at a glance that the orange one is my husband’s, the yellow one is mine, the red and blue ones belong to my sons. Problem solved!
It’s always great to be home! I just wrote a new article for Connections for Women called "An Organized Home is a Peaceful Home." It includes two ways to reduce the stress of disorganization and the three biggest reasons that disorganization "disturbs the peace" in your home. I hope you enjoy it!
Hi,
Nice article….I just came back from a 12-day vacation. While I certainly enjoy my job, it’s never easy to come back after 12-days of taking it easy, which isn’t really that easy with 3-kids who are six, three, and four months old. But it’s great to be able to spend all of that time with my wife Amy and the kids.
