I basically told every patient of mine last week that my hubby and I were taking a quick 48 hour trip to Spain for a wedding… and that it was our first time leaving all 4 of our babies.
Literally every response was:
“You need to do that more often!”
And I thought… yeah. 😂 🙃🙂
There is something really nice about getting on a plane with a carry-on, sleeping in, and not traveling with dipes and wipes.
But in my actual reality, I LOVE our life with 4 kids and all the chaos. And what I love just as much is that my hubby and I are pretty good about making time for each other without needing to leave the country. 🥰
Our is to have the sitter stay longer one time per week to go out on a weekday date, or meet friends for dinner, or have ‘em over for dinner. We find little pockets of time to be a couple in the middle of the alllll the beautiful chaos.
Do we need to travel the whole world without our kids to have a great marriage? Def not.
Was 48 hours in Spain with my husband pretty freaking awesome? Also yes. 😂
My takeaway isn’t “leave your kids more.” It’s actually “keep dating your spouse, however that looks in your season of life.” ❤️ It’s not always easy but it’s important!
How long was it before your first getaway sans your little ones?
couples trip • first time without kids • mom of 4 under 2½ • nyc mom • spanish wedding • date your spouse • love of my life • doctor mom
