Needs Change

In my early years of parenting with a toddler holding my hand and a baby strapped to my chest, I traveled with a mom squad.  Meaning outing to the zoo, children's museum, pool, and beach were meticulously planned with my mom friends.  I needed the support, I needed the interaction.  I needed the activity.

Now as we move into the later elementary years, I travel around with "just us."  Meaning: me, my son, my daughter, and many times my husband, of course.  Why? Because needs change.  

We need time to be ourselves.  We need time to bond, share experiences, and go on adventures together.   We need to enjoy the flexibility our lives have right now.

Do what works for you.  Needs change.
