This week’s bonus episode isn’t about leadership or the workplace — it’s about my other full-time job: vacation planner.
From coordinating safari-chic zoo outfits, to spiraling over San Diego vs. Anaheim hotels, to the Target runs, Amazon orders, and boutique splurges that somehow felt mandatory before we even left…the chaos was real.
And then came the Harper mutiny — because of course my toddler in her dress era wasn’t going to let my perfectly curated Disneyland looks stand unchallenged. Cue the tears, the pleading, and me finally realizing: the outfits weren’t worth ruining the day.
But then there’s the real payoff: Harper’s joy when she saw Mickey, and her little voice pointing at our family photos saying, “Mommy, Daddy, Harper…so happy.” That’s what makes it all worth it.
So if you’re wondering whether to take the trip? My advice is simple: take it.
