Family

I’m back from our family Disney Vacation and there’s a lot to be happy about.

My kids were troopers — Casabona vacations are not very relaxing. Out of the hotel early, back late. Long, hot days.

They handled it well and had a lot of fun. We made some great memories.

And I’m happy to report that I was fully present for all of it.

This may seem like a silly statement. “Of course you were present…you were part of the vacation.”

But before the trip, I wrote about everything I did to prepare for not working at all while down in Florida.

It totally worked.

My friends. As I write this, it’s 4:36pm on Friday afternoon. In 36 hours, I’ll be at the airport with my family.

We’re going to Disney World.

I’ve gotten in the habit of not bringing my laptop on family vacations anymore. I don’t want to work. And I’ve built the kind of business I have so I don’t have to.

But this one feels different — maybe because I love (like, LOVE) Disney World. And my kids are incredibly excited.

I don’t want to sully that by being on my phone or my computer.

That would go against my Yearly Theme of being present…not to mention everything I do to help solopreneur parents.

But that also means I needed to prep. I don’t feel I should just disappear for a week without saying anything.

So here’s what I did leading up to the trip, and what’s happening during the trip!
