One of us spills about a recent trip with the in-laws and the silent stress leading up to it all.  A simple rose-bud-thorn reflection had us seeing the trip in a whole new way (proof that even the tiniest moments can spark big takeaways as long as you're asking the right questions!)

All this yapping about trips has the other gearing up and reflecting on their own family adventure that's right around the corner. Perfect timing for some much needed pre-trip perspective cause sharing a room with your mom and getting up to 6am prayer music blasting from their iPad ain't for the faint of heart! 

We also share the saga of a pilates teacher from literal hell (yesssss, she was really that bad). And we ask: what kinda Google reviewer are you? Because the monstrous pilates instructor will be getting an earful.
