Summer! I just came across an article that suggests working moms take momcations. These are vacations designed for your needs rather than for your significant other or children. Personally, I like the idea. I am going take a momcation in South Beach in July. Here are the tips suggested by Deanna Keahey, founder of Adventurous Wench, a travel company for women.
- Getting started: Drop the guilt. These getaways don't replace family vacations.
- Pick your partners: Maybe you have local friends who are up for a road trip or an old friend or sister who lives too far to see regularly.
- Plan your getaway: Three-day jaunts are common. Keep it simple to avoid stress. You may want to plan it around a special event like a milestone birthday.
- Prepare for departure: Talk about your plans with your kids a few weeks in advance and remind them regularly so your absence doesn't surprise them. Get them excited about quality time with dad.
- Hit the road: Have fun!
