Mommy & Me Trips
My Aunt Sandi always told me "don't skimp on the memories. Even if it costs money, go make those memories together while your kids are young."
Our Mommy & Me trips help you reconnect with those in your life who are most-oft (unintentially) neglected...your "typical" children and your own mom.
When you are the parent of a child with extra needs, it can be all consuming. That child's needs often dictate what/when/how/where everything the family does. It's your "normal", but that doesn't make it ideal. It is very easy for us as parents to leave the more self-sufficient ones to themselves. It's easy to get wound up in our own fatigue and busy-ness and to slack on nurturing that all-important one-on-one relationship every child craves.

At the same time, when was the last time you spent quality time with your OWN mom? (if she is still living) I was the oldest of five kids, and this part of our program is very much driven by my desire to have one-on-one time with my mom again! Her name is Julie . They used to call me "Julie's Drooly Baby" :) If we hit enough wineries, I can be her drooly baby again . :)
Our 5th Annual Mommy & Me trip is now scheduled for March 25-28, 2022 in Jekyll Island, GA.
