Today it is more acceptable to staycations so maybe your girls won’t have to face what you did. I do love
what you would have said then had you known what you know now!

I had nowhere to go. But I loved it when the house was full, the bickering, the love, the fun and the madness. And I always felt sad when it was over. Because it was different from normal. I’d write all sorts of stories in the “what I did this summer” essay. 😀 Loved the post, Claudya. You’re a fabulous Mom, you know?

I felt the same way – always thought that what I did wasn’t cool or special enough. Glad to read you are teaching your girls to treasure each moment with family. Que linda!

Hope life is treating you Great, Mami and the family is all good.  I’ve been MIA for a while so I’m off to catch up on your posts.

My summer vacations were never epic as a child, but I always remember enjoying them. Unlimited play time and no homework was always enough for me!

It’s all how you look at life:)
