When Autumn Comes: Seasons of Hope for Medical + Disability Moms4 Syys 2024

Vacations | The Joy and The Struggle for the Medical Family

Mornings are getting cooler and the autumn leaves are on their way in the next few months. Today, the girls recap summer vacation just as the "carefree" days of summer fade away and we transition into fall. Summer vacation looks different under the lense of medical motherhood. Gone are the days of backpacking in Europe. Today's vacations involve packing and unpacking a van-load of supplies and venturing into a location that is probably not kid-proofed. Vacation plans have back up plans. The back up plans have their own back up plans. Is this really restful? Are we just creating more stress under the guise of creating memories? Listen to find out!

Summer vacations can be so sweet and also a bit tough. We hope your summer was one for the memory books. What are your favorite summer memories with your kids? Do you have any travel tips for other medical moms? Let us know in the When Autumn Comes Society or send us a DM on Instagram! We'd love to hear from you! While you're at it, consider supporting the podcast. Look for fun ways to contribute throughout the month of September!
