I NEED A VACATION!!! 

I think everyone needs a break from the daily grind, a break from their daily routine and ordinary life.  I dream about taking the girls to Disney World, or spending an adult vacation in Paris, but it’s just not in the cards for us this year.  Because I have two small children, I hoard my vacation days to use in case of an emergency, and let’s face it, trips are expensive!

But, part of me (OK, all of me) wants to throw caution to the wind and spend a little money on a family vacation.  HomeAway Vacation Rentals, the world’s leading vacation rental marketplace, wants to help us Save Our Summer Vacation!

  2. I’m not a mommy (I’m a daddy), but I need a vacation (so does a mommy). Though we have a problem: we are used to having a hectic live and doesn’t seem that anything is going to change soon. Next year will be having a first vacation as a family :). I’m both excited and worried. How to handle a child and relax? Is this a myth or some people actually do this?
