You guys, let me begin by saying that I am so excited for the end of March/beginning of April. Look homies, I know it’s far in advance, but I’m a stay at home (kinda) mom that lives thousands of miles away from my family, I tend to look forward to things.
I am going back home, to the place where I am alive.
I’m going back home to Southern California! I will be there for 13 days, and will be heading over to Sunny San Diego for a few of them, as well!
While I am in San Diego, I will be attending a friend’s wedding, which renders coming up with a plan for childcare. Graciously, my sister offered to watch Vivien for the weekend, which is amazing. My sister has always been a huge part of Vivien’s life, even though she’s always been far away. She got on a plane and flew up to Northern California with 3 hours warning the day after Vivien was born because I needed her. She’s that kind of Auntie. And Vivien loves her. They have a special little bond that warms my heart.
But, you see, I’ve never ever left Vivien before. Ok, I’m lying when I say that, because she went to daycare while I worked full time for a few months. But I’ve never been apart from her at bedtime (I’m lying again. Eli has put her to bed solo once or twice. But he doesn’t count.)
I know that she will be fine (heck, she will be more than fine!) and that she will have a blast at Camp Auntie. And quite honestly, I am also a bit excited to be able to actually go out for my 29th birthday!
Do you have any words of wisdom about going on a mini-vacation child- free? Encouragement? Tissues, perhaps?
I haven’t left mine yet. But I don’t go anywhere anyway lol

She’s with your sister, not a weirdo. Call only at the end of the day and don’t stress. Enjoy your freedom. I know your sister will say the same…or something similar. When I ditch the nugget with my mom, I don’t turn back because I know my mom has it under control. Pretty sure your sister will too. She’s no rookie.
Oh girl, you are going to enjoy the little break! AND YOU DESERVE IT! She is in good hands of a loving, family member.

You’ll be fine. I was legit sick for a week before we left for Vegas and when we left? Totally fine – to the point where I felt guilty for not missing him more! I had a few *eep* moments when I saw other kids that were around B’s age, but other than that, smooth sailing, and I’m a gigundo sap. You’ll have a freaking blast!
And how did you get that Daily Mom button?!
