Screw Vacation, Give Me A Staycation
[[link removed]]
Here’s something to consider, while scrolling through pictures of other
families’ spring break vacations: the joys of just staying home and doing a
whole lot of not much.
“I don’t know about you, but the thought of taking my kids on vacation exhausts
me to my core,” admits Katie Bingham-Smith. As you know perfectly well if you’ve
ever done it, vacations are no longer relaxing once you’re a mom: “You become
the travel agent, trip planner, and cruise director — plus the one who makes
sure your youngest doesn’t forget to pack their security blanket so everyone can
get some sleep.”
As an alternative, she suggests planning meals out at some of your favorite
restaurants, getting involved in your kids’ hobbies, or picking a show to
binge-watch together. Personally, I recommend the Marvel Rising franchise and a
giant bowl of popcorn.
Have a great weekend and I’ll see you back here Monday!

My Therapist’s Ultimatum Changed My Life
[[link removed]]
Here’s a sobering read from somebody who was finally completely honest with her
therapist about the abuse in her relationship — and got an eye-opening response.
“Either I would get out, and she would help me cope through the aftermath, or
I'd continue to stay, and things wouldn't get any better. I had to find myself
as worthy of happiness, safety, and love as much as my therapist did. The
ultimatum wasn't about helping or not helping. It was about realizing my
self-worth.”
