Extended Family Vacations & Setting Boundaries - Amuse Bouche #2

Man, this episode makes me sound like I actually have it all together and have all of the right conversations.  Don't worry, I do not!   I recorded this one as a reminder for myself - basically my very own hype session.

But, if you're heading out on an extended family vacation, here are a few quick tips for making it the best it can be:

Spend the whole week ahead laying out things to pack.  Add to the pile throughout the week. Set some simple boundaries (more on that below)Lower your expectations!  

Boundaries are super hard to set - at least for a type A person like me – and I found this article from Tiny Buddha to be helpful:

And, finally, take a deep breath, you can do it.  Extended family vacations are all about combining styles and taking a major attempt at going with the flow.

Have a safe and happy 4th of July!

(And yup, I talk really quickly, so I'll work on that)
