Episode Synopsis

Four weeks.
Four states.
Two very tired parents.
From California for my daughter’s national diving competition, to Missouri for my dad’s 80th, to New York for my high school reunion, and finally Florida for the brand-new Universal Studios Epic theme park...we did it all.
And here’s the truth: we did it all for the kids… and put our sanity on the line in the process.
In this episode, I’m sharing:


The reality of “parent vacations” (early mornings, late nights, and all-day kid entertainment)


How theme park upsells test every ounce of your willpower


The sweet surprises that reminded me I am doing something right as a mom


And why, even exhausted, I wouldn’t trade these memories for anything


If you’ve ever needed a vacation from your vacation...this one’s for you.
