Digital content creator, award-winning photographer, and budding events host Tatiana Karanja, aka Mama Olive, has shared the biggest life hack when it comes to vacationing with kids.
Conveying her message, Mama Olive shared a small skit of herself picking up toys by a beach house, looking exasperated, as she asked other moms if they related to her feelings.
Captioning the video, she shared a pro tip to help avoid feeling like their kids are a nuisance during a holiday.
“All jokes aside, we all know that after a holiday, we need a holiday from the holiday,” started off the mother of 3 as she highlighted the woes of travelling with toddlers and how it forces moms to be on their toes half if not all, the time during the vacation period.
The photographer went on to share a bit of advice that she has picked up that has ultimately made taking a vacation with her baby girls less stressful and tiresome. According to Tatiana, let go and let the kids be the bosses.
“My biggest tip for enjoying a trip with kids, because it truly is super enjoyable, is to do nothing else but focus on them.
Honestly, I get most frustrated when I’m juggling other tasks while trying to keep up with the kids. So when we go on holiday, I have to go in with the mindset that it’s just about the kids-nothing else,” the mother of 3 wrote in part.
Finishing up Tatiana highlighted above all vacations were about quality time with your loved ones as you take a break from your normal routine thus at the end of the day the hustle was worth it all.
“Also, I’ve made peace with the fact that I’m probably hitting 50,000 steps a day, but I treat it as my workout. And really, it’s all about quality time. Our everyday life doesn’t look like this, so I try to soak up every moment-even if that’s easier said than done when you’re in the middle of it all!
But seriously, being able to let go of everything else and just be there is a total game changer. And if you can… carry along a nanny or a grandparent it is a BIG BONUS,” the last of her post read.
