I'm a 39-year-old working mom to two girls trying to stay sane and away from the Barbie PopTarts. I'm also a writer and editor with more than 17 years of experience. BlondeMomBlog is a top Google search result for "mom blog" and I'm kind of proud of that ya'll.

Vacation Standard Time




Playing Tourist, originally uploaded by blondemom.

Do we have to go back? Cause I don’t wanna.

The girls, who normally must be roused awake every day back in normalcy land, are waking up between 6 and 7 a.m. EVERY DAY. That’s about the only negative thing I can come up with about our family getaway. That and the fact that vacations are always far too short. Oh, and the fact that the girls’ bladders apparently are the size of walnuts as they have to pee as soon as we arrive anywhere, especially the pool.

Anyone need a professional beach blogger? I’m your gal. Just pay me in ice cold Corona and sunscreen. OK, OK, a beach front bungalow would do the trick, too. Twist my arm. Well, not too much, as it is a tad sunburned.

    Vacationing with children is never 100% restful for us.

    The beach behind you is absolutely gorgeous!

    My motto is a trip with children is a “family outing” and me alone with my husband is a “vacation” !

    It looks like I’ve missed your whole vacation blog!! Are you going to do two blogs now? Ah, at any rate I wish I could give myself a corona. Also, I may have been that kid who will not shut the hell up. But as an adult, I can also recognize that kid when I do things like teach Sunday school. It’s precious in very small small doses.

    It’s going to be tough to get back to “normal” and to work. That’s all I’ll say.

    We are really enjoying being beach bums! All four of us! :)
