We’ve been anxiously waiting for our Christmas cruise to be here and now it is!!! The big kids have been counting down to relaxation and family time….the little Wonders are unfortunately counting down towards the doom and gloom of our plane crashing and there not being enough life boats on the cruise ship (noted: dont let your anxiety-ridden son research titanic the same year you’re taking him on a cruise). ?

We’re ready to tackle their anxiety with the best strategy I know – real life experiences that will reassure them that it will all be okay and that we will help them through it. That traveling outside of what we “know” is something to look forward to – not be scared of. And that creating family memories sometimes means we have to leave the house (or the country!).

Please pray for our littles and their anxiety – although I tease about it, I know their fear is strong and it is real. And we will struggle getting them through it and then we will. We will enjoy each other and the trip and use it as a “success story” for our next trip.
