This week… we were humbled.
What was supposed to be a magical Disney trip turned into flight delays, overtired kids, mom unhinged and a ponytail meltdown. To top it off long awaited hair appointments and date nights were cancelled, and there was more vomit than we’d like to admit. We’re unpacking why vacations with kids feel more like work trips, the pressure to make everything magical, and what happens when our need for control backfires. We talk about unmet expectations, overstimulation, and the mom guilt that hits when we don’t show up the way we meant to.
Because sometimes the magic isn’t in the perfect castle photo — it’s in embracing the chaos together.
