From savoring simple joys to revamping routines, we'll explore practical tips and small shifts to cultivate that on-a-break-energy without going anywhere. Get ready to embrace relaxation and bring a touch of vacation magic to your daily life.

Last month, we spent 7 days in Florida's 30A (Seacrest Beach, to be specific) for the 2nd year in a row. We brought our three kids and nanny, my husband’s dad and step-mom, and my dad. The trip was full of sunshine, smiles, sunrises, and so many sunscreen applications!

Here are some of my favorite vacation moments:

drinking coffee with a peek of the ocean
swimming in the gentle ocean waves with all 3 kiddos
having a fancy "chef dinner" one night
hanging out with my dad and my in-laws

Vacation Energy: Low-Drama, Low-Stress

Overall, the trip was really magical. But the best part for me personally was that I felt way more relaxed and less stressed than I have on past family trips.

Part of that is because I’ve spent the past few years focused on listening to my intuition and releasing emotional blocks, also called “emotional bean bags” or the “emotional pain body.”

Part of this is also probably because the kids are getting older and there’s a gift in going back to the same place again, knowing a little of what to expect. (Let this be a reminder to all the mamas with little babies: some things really do get EASIER with time.)

Being on vacation helps break up normal everyday routines in the best kind of way. Vacation-Mode-Kaileen is easier on the kids and easier on herself. She laughs and has less worries.
