  • Is This What A Vacation Looks Like? Time for a Break!

    Summer is kicking off with a bang! Catch up with Jen, Tara, and Lana as they discuss their travels, grand baby, weird dragon vegetable varieties, Tara’s enabling behavior, saving baby goats, and more. This week’s icebreaker is about sharing a summer vacation from our childhood. Oh how vacation times have changed since our childhoods. Seat belts weren’t as much of a thing, 24hr fast food was rare, and the drive centered around gas stations and not comfort!

    Join Jen, Tara, and Lana discuss how their summers are different now than when their kids were small and what they believe their summers will look like in the future. Have your vacations changed as your kids have gotten older? If you have older teens do you take them on vacation with you or do you and your spouse take your own vacation?

    With Summer knocking on the door, the ladies have decided to take a summer hiatus. Enjoy your summer and we’ll reconnect in the fall! If you enjoy the show, be sure to subscribe on whatever podcast player you’re using and feel to drop us a line at [email protected]
