Have you ever had someone say to you, "I promise, it does get easier!"? I have and it's made me want to punch them in the face. Not really, but it's one of those phrases that has always hit me the wrong way because I have seen NO LIGHT at the end of the tunnel when it comes to things getting easier with my girls in terms of vacations, traveling, and general life situations.

BUT I am here to share with you that I think I now understand WHEN it does get easier, and how I have seen the hard turn a little easier in this current stage of parenting! After traveling 4500 miles this past month with my 4 girls, ages 10 to 3...yes, that's over 60 hours we spent in the car, I can say that I was so shocked and pleasantly surprised at how much easier this trip was than in the past almost 11 years of trips we have taken. Somehow this has given me a new perspective on our life at home too. Join me as we talk about the hard years of parenting and how I can finally see how it does get a bit easier!
