That dumb Crazy Horse thing was under construction then...are they EVER going to finish it? Wow! I am totally with you on the Mount Rushmore thing. It was one of my favorite things to see, also, and I can't explain it. It's an emotional thing, I guess. You have to experience it. Glad I'm not the only one. I think gifts of experiences are the best things. Those will be the things they remember after the toys are long gone to Goodwill (which doesn't take too long in my house). We've done this as an anniversary gift every year, but haven't done it for the kids yet. I'm going to have to think how we can incorporate that next time. FYI...I am VERY secretive (on the blog and FB) any time we go out of town. Don't apologize for that. I think it's really the way to go. No need to advertise an empty home. :)The Brackeenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02994450704578352372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-705680362386703721.post-76222485306518354852014-01-12T13:21:58.971-08:002014-01-12T13:21:58.971-08:00Increidble post.Epic.

When I saw this post come up on my feed I ignored it because A) I'm pretty much past the sleepless nights and B) I try to not read "helpful" parenting articles because 9.5 times out of 10 I end up just feeling worse about myself. I figured from the title that it really did contain tips for helping babies sleep. But I happened to keep scrolling down after reading your latest post and read this one and had to laugh at how wrong I was. I should have known better! :) I think these tips might be applicable no matter how old our kids get!

And then I stress out over every. single. detail. because it all MUST GO PERFECTLY ACCORDING TO PLAN!!! It may actually be the reason we are going to the beach next week for 3 whole days and I'm planning ONE excursion. This is totally not me, but I NEED some R&R. Badly. And I did spend HOURS trying to find the cheapest + not yucky place to stay while we were there until I was sick. I think I need to try the "flex" schedule sometime, although I think that's probably much easier with 2 adults and I probably can't let go if I had kids in the picture (OCD). But anyway...funny.

In the midst of being excited about the wonderful weekend you had you also mentioned that it wasn't all perfect and you argued a little.
