This is so timely as I’m days away from sending my kids away to another state(!) for 2 weeks. We did it for the first time last summer and this is round 2. The usual anxiety is coming up about them being out of my care, but the time and space I had last year to just be me, the woman and not the mom, was beyond worth it. My kids are older (5 & 6), so that helps, but whenever you can steal a day or 2 away, take it!
What a great picture of you and Jeff. It reminds me of the importance of investing in the relationship with our significant other, with as much intent and zest as we do for our children. Similar to those wise comments from twitter, if you and him are in a good place, baby girl will be too. Thanks for sharing these much needed experiences!
Absolutely! I forget where I read something about couples who make the child a priority when really it should be a) themselves as individuals and then b) themselves as a couple. As you said, when we're in a good place (both as individuals & a couple), she will be, too!

That's so awesome! And I'm very much looking forward to Camp Mom-Mom & Pop-Pop when the time comes 🙌🏾
What a fantastic article, Niece! I'm glad you and Jeff had a good time!
Thank you so much, we had a blast (and so did V)!

Individual priority is such a good reminder and often overlooked!
