Baby Sleeping Tips And Requirements
Tags: Baby Sleep Consultant, Babycare, Babysleeptraining, Baby Sleep, Babysleeptips

Sleep is very important to babies’ health and development. If your baby does not get enough sleep, he may have trouble getting through the day and especially a night. As a parent, it is good to know that napping actually helps a baby to sleep easily at night, so it is a wrong belief that keeping your baby awake during the daytime will make him sleep better at night.

Getting a baby to sleep may be a difficult time for most parents. Most parents look forward to the night they can put their baby to sleep in the crib and get some undisturbed sleep for themselves. If the baby frequently wakes during the night, the parents get easily exhausted too. So, it is very essential to overcome your baby’s sleeping problems as soon as you can to assist your baby into a healthy growth and development. Getting your baby to sleep is not an easy job and comprehensive baby sleep training is required.

Newborns

Newborns normally sleep sixteen or more hours a day. As your baby’s nervous system matures, he will develop a more consistent sleep schedule later in his life. However, at 3 months, many babies sleep at least five hours at a time. And by age 6 months, their sleeping hours are within nine to twelve hours.

3 To 6 Months

At 3 months, the baby’s sleeping habits will become more consistent. At this time, you can begin developing a regular nap schedule. Babies have their own understanding and they need the right signs to know when it is time to sleep. Even if it doesn’t work immediately, soon your baby will come to learn it. By 4 months, babies need at least three naps a day; in the morning, afternoon and early evening.

6 Months To 1 Year

During this period of your baby’s life, the average sleep is fourteen hours a day, but anything less or more can be normal for your baby. Babies’ nap time changes from 3 naps a day to 2; longer naps in the morning and in the afternoon.

Baby Sleeping Tips

Place your baby in bed when he is drowsy but awake using a comfortable, flat and soft mattress. A pacifier might also help your baby to sleep comfortably, but never use this until breastfeeding is well established. Don’t place your baby in bed with a bottle on his side. A consistent daytime and nighttime sleep pattern is helpful and maintaining a consistent bedtime routine is essential.

You can also make use of baby sleep aids to help your baby to sleep. The common thing is a soft blanket which not only keeps your baby comfortable but also gives safety and warmth. Music can also be helpful, you can play your baby’s favorite lullaby to calm him and make his sleeping time relaxing.

In addition, according to research, babies under six months should not sleep in the same bed with their parents because the study shows an increased risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Actually, about fifty percent of infants who die of SIDS are in bed-sharing with their parents’ situation. Statistically, one in every two thousand babies die of SIDS each year.

How to Eat Keto On Vacation
By: Kevin Kamau
Tags: Vacation, Travelling, Health, Keto, Food

If you’re considering a vacation while on a keto diet, then you need to make sure you remain on that diet no matter your holiday plans.

How comes? Eating keto means that you must allow your body to remain in ketosis. A process in which the fats in our body are transformed into energy, and there is the production of ketones. In other words, in case of a low intake of food, your body goes into a metabolic state where it tries to survive by burning the excess fat instead of carbohydrates to produce energy.

You should never consider going off from keto diet since you won’t be in ketosis, and that’s where you want to be to achieve your body goals, such as losing weight and staying healthy.

Here are a few ways on how to eat keto on vacation.

Bring Easy to Pack Keto Snacks

You can prepare keto snacks that are easy to pack as well as stored for a long time without going bad. You can choose to keep them in a mini-cooler. The meals to consider must stay fresh for a while, even when not in the cooler. Such foods include:

Protein foods (such as lunchmeat, cheese sticks, and nuts and butter)

Fat foods (such as avocados, oil shots, and fat bombs)

Carbs food (such as berries, very low carb bread, and veggies)

Drinkable meal (KetoCal 4 in 1 LQ).

It’s recommended to find keto-friendly snacks that you can easily store, maybe in the nearby restaurants, or prepare keto meals ahead of time before you embark on the vacation.

Timing is Everything, Call Ahead

Before you leave for the vacation, call ahead to resorts or restaurants to be aware of the types of meals they offer and see whether there will be the need to prepare your own keto meals. By having that information on the types of eating places to encounter during the vacation, it reduces stress as wells as the options to choose from.

You may get a restaurant that provides nutritional info for their menus, and you even make an online reservation. You can go ahead to explain to them precisely what you don’t eat. Most nice restaurants offer you plenty of keto meals to eat.

Always choose to travel after bedtime since you don’t need to keep on preparing the meal again during a short vacation of one day.

Research Online for Destinations

Do extensive research online, such as searching for the word “keto” and adding the city you’re planning to visit for vacation. Also, some apps can help you by checking the keyword against the town, such as the TripAdvisor Yelp. If you’re on vacation, try out the app to know where to get your keto meals quickly.

Hotel’s Shopping and Checklist

Nowadays, most hotels have come up with a section where you might find the refrigerator packed with some keto meals to buy. Choose to stay in a hotel that offers meals you require for your ketogenic diet.

Conclusion

Staying keto on vacation may seem very difficult, but that’s not the case. By making a checklist of what to bring along, where to stay, and the destinations around will allow you to stay on keto diet plan as you enjoy your vacation.

Planning an International Trip
By: Richard Rooney
Tags: Richard Rooney Md, Vacation, Lifestyle, Travel, Traveling

Going for an international trip can be such an exciting opportunity. However, sufficient planning should be considered to ensure that you don’t miss an element of preparation that may jeopardize your entire trip. Here are some crucial tips to remember when preparing for your international trip.

Research as Much as Possible

Once you settle for your destination country or area, you should endeavor to conduct further research on particular details relating to the area in general. The research should focus on important aspects such as visa requirements, cultural boundaries, general etiquette, and climatic conditions among other areas. This will give you a basic knowledge of how you should prepare and what to carry for your trip.

Determine How Long Your Trip Will Take

Before proceeding further with your preparations for an international trip, you should determine how long your international trip will take. The duration of your travel will help advise you on various other preparatory measures such as how much baggage you need to carry and how much money you need to have. Having a specific travel duration also helps ensure that you are well organized and therefore avoid wastage of resources.

Set a Budget and Itinerary

Your preparation should also focus on establishing a clear budget. The budget should contain a rough outline of how much money you intend to spend on critical areas such as air ticket, accommodation, food, shopping, and other leisure activities. To accompany your budget, you should have an itinerary that outlines how you intend to spend your time abroad. You may want to enlist places that you intend to visit as well as the activities that you intend to engage in to make the most of your trip.

Verify Your Travel Documents

You should also prepare your travel documents, mainly visa and identity cards, well in advance. You should check with the local authorities and embassies of countries you intend to travel to on what their visa requirements are to ensure you fully meet them. Other international traveling arrangements that you need to secure while preparing include booking your air tickets in advance to secure a good discount as well as booking your accommodation on time.

Getting Immunized

The Centers for Disease Control offers guidelines and recommendations on various immunizations that one should get before traveling to certain countries. Such immunization is crucial as it helps prevent the spread of certain diseases such as measles, hepatitis A, typhoid, and rabies among others.

Why You Shouldn’t Skip Vacation

We all know that it can be tough to find time to plan, structure and enjoy a long, well-deserved vacation.

However, it might be a good idea to take a quick trip to the south of Europe and enjoy the burning sun by the pool.

It gives you time to clear your head and get away from the daily grind and routine.

A 1992 study tracking employees for twenty years found that men and women, respectively, were 20% and 50% more likely to have a heart attack if they didn’t take vacations during the year.

Another crucial health benefit of going on a vacation is stress reduction.

When going to another country, you essentially remove yourself from daily tasks that you might combine with stress and overload.

Other studies have found that vacationers have fewer physical aliments due to physical exercise and relaxation.

When you’re not sitting down all day as you’re normally doing in an office, you’re letting your body rest.

Moreover, taking a vacation actually improves your overall productivity.

A study by Ernst & Young found that for every 10 hours their employees spend on vacation, their year-end performance improved by an impressive 8%.

Last but not least, taking a vacation improves your overall sleep.

Researchers conclude that vacations help employees reset their sleeping patterns and to get back into a somewhat health beneficial sleeping rhythm.

To help you out, here’s a link for one of our other posts covering why sleep is crucial for your overall health.

Next time you’re considering skipping this year’s vacation, think again.
I’m A Government Official From The Day After Tomorrow And I Refuse To Reschedule My Vacation Just Because Of Some Storm!

I’m A Government Official From The Day After Tomorrow And I Refuse To Reschedule My Vacation Just Because Of Some Storm!

Photo by Justin Lim on Unsplash

Hi there, it's me, your government official who you elected under the guise that if a real emergency were to ever come up, you could count on me to take care of things. So why are you calling on me at this ungodly hour?

It's not that I don't like doing my job, it's just that disasters always seem to happen at the most inconvenient moments. Like right now, I am on my way to the airport to go on a beach vacation with my family, and my phone won't stop ringing because apparently, a tornado outbreak has hit in my district and we have never seen a tornado before, so everyone's freaking out. Really? This couldn't have waited another week?

The flight was a nightmare! People booing me and throwing stuff at me as I walked to my seat. But they're kind of hypocrites if you ask me. They were also on the flight! Every single person couldn't have been fleeing their homes to be with their loved ones while the temperature drops to -150 degrees Fahrenheit and the world freezes over. Thank God I only sat in business class. Can you imagine if I had to go all the way back to coach? I don't think I would have made it!

I cannot believe all of the backlash I'm getting. It's just a silly storm! Granted, massive tsunamis have never happened before in the history of my district, and they could have been prevented years ago if we hadn't privatized our entire infrastructure to benefit foreign interests, but why does that mean I can't go sip Mai Tais on a beach with my wife and kids? I'm more than just a negligent government official, I'm also a human being.

It's completely absurd. Out of millions of people being affected by the storm, I'm expected to just drop everything and magically fix the problem for these people, some of whom didn't even have the decency to vote for me. I'm the one that is suffering the most, and instead of getting so much as a "thank you", I get hounded by the media and calls for resignation. You just can't win with these people!

I deserve to get this trip refunded. You all have really ruined my vacation vibe with "winds up to 200 miles an hour" and "hail the size of a city bus" and "an extinction-level event." I mean after all that, I'd have to be a real asshole to enjoy myself, surrounded by staff too poor to escape the impending disaster so they're forced to keep working at this resort serving me poolside appetizers until they inevitably perish from a preventable global disaster. Our next vacation will be somewhere where the staff isn't allowed to complain or reference the global disaster happening around us or even look us in the eye. We can't feel bad if we don't acknowledge them as human beings!
Short Stories 30 — Vacation with the Boys (Part 1)

It was a long year of pandemic. I needed a break from the family and just about everything. I was standing strong for the first few months. I was away from family for 6 months, highest I have stayed away from them. It was an amazing experience. I believe I was protected from most of the things in my life and this was the first time I was totally independent. Not completely alone, with roommates.

During lockdown, I learned cooking. Not just that but had a lot of time, with myself and explored quite a few dark places inside me. I did not deal with each and everyone dark alley in brain. But took strolls in those dark alley. Learned many new things about myself. Especially the bad ones, that fuck with me a lot. Understood about myself more during the lockdown. It was an eye opener in many ways. I must say the isolation was an mostly positive for me.

In the month of August I came home. For the first few days I was really happy. As I did not have to do everything by myself. But soon things started to become mundane. I was not as happy after I came home. And things started to get worse and worse. Small things were starting to tick me off. I was getting angry for very small things that would normally not affect me.

It was such a slow process, that I could not notice either. These lockdown and isolation was getting to me. I was trying to get out of this place. I could not stop wishing that the company would open and I would go back to Pune just so I can get out of here. But it wasn’t happening, as the situation was getting worse day by day.

It was January by now, and I would rage first thing in the morning. That is how my mornings were going. Meanwhile I was trying to find a new job. That was also adding to the stress. Things were not looking good. And all of a sudden, two of my friends decided to go a vacation for the long weekend. There was just one issue. All of us wanted to go to a different location. We had to choose from an hill station, a beach and a wine yard.

We discussed on call but still we couldn’t pick an option. We asked another of our friend to come with us and he was ready for it. We weren’t expecting him but he said yes and we were super excited about it. Now the deadlock was broken. There were 2 votes for the beach and the decision was made based on the majority. The destination of the beach was also changed and looking back I am very happy about it.

I was a bit too late to make the train bookings. And on top of that we also weren’t able to get bus tickets. It got delayed a lot and at the end we had to go through flight. It was very expensive on the wallet but had to do that as did not want to drivee all the way was there were massive number of kilometers.

You’ve been home with your family for weeks and travel is off the table, so spring break is just a wash this year, right? No way!

1. Everyone Needs a Break

You’ve all been working hard and adjusting to major changes. Give yourself a week to relax and reward all your hard work with some fun!

4. You Need Less Stress

Let’s be honest, the Covid-19 crisis has been tough on everyone. We’re worried about keeping our families safe and healthy, job security, and our children’s education. That is a LOT of stress.

How to Enjoy Traveling Safely Again

Tags: Covid 19, Vacation, Travel, Nate Obryant, Safety

The Coronavirus has done more than just stop the world in its tracks. People across the globe have suffered by losing loved ones, losing money in business, and most people without jobs. Traveling seems to be one of the few opportunities most people can relate to with one another. The fact that millions of travelers had plans canceled. Several countries have even blocked the United States from entering their grounds. Traveling during this virus, however, is still very much possible. While most think of it to be unsafe and impractical, there are ways to make traveling safe even during this pandemic.

The end goal is of course to eliminate this virus once and for all. However, doing so will require time and patience, alongside working together. Make it a goal to make plans to travel today for the future, but if it’s needed to travel during these times, use the following tips to remain safe.

- 14 Day Quarantine

Most countries that are considered global hotspots of this virus have already blocked off their borders, but in case someone flew to a hotspot, strive to remain quarantined for 14 days before venturing out.

- Travel by Car

If at all possible, travel by car to any city or state. It’s a safe way to remain with everyone in one place and not be exposed to more people in the airplane.

- Hand Sanitizer, Masks, and Distancing

These are the three powerful things needed in order to travel safely. Bring multiple bottles of hand sanitizer, and intend on using it whenever you touch anything. Consider wearing one or two masks for additional protection during the flight. While not every plane enforces distancing, make it a goal to distance yourself whenever possible before and after the flight.

Contrary to popular belief, airplanes have incredible air purifying systems in place. It’s very much like entering a hospital where the goal is to get as much clean air in the room as possible. Planes are built to provide fresh air and proper airflow. It is possible to travel even during these unprecedented times. The key is to remain diligent and up to date on the latest information from the CDC to know how to continue staying safe.
Taking a Break

The decision to take a break from your daily uphill battle may be surprisingly tough. Here is my personal experience.

You have worked hard over the past months. Looking back, you see a lot of time spent on making your dream come true. Building a business, a home restoration, you name it.

A point has come when your daily 12 hours shifts take their toll. Fatigue, flatlining, loss of interest. World’s gurus are screaming from everywhere, “don’t stop, don’t stop.”

But your body and brain scream different songs. And here you are, facing a decision not easy to make: “shall I take a break?”

This single decision may throw you out of the circle of success.

I promise the dilemma of whether to take a break or not is more difficult than it seems. You may be on the most important journey of your life.

The mind, once stretched by a new idea, never returns to its original dimensions. Ralph Waldo Emerson

You are on the crossroad. One road takes you to calmer waters. You will slow down and have time to refresh. The other road takes you right back to the daily grind and feeling of exhaustion before you hit bed at 1am.

Afraid of just stopping, you may realize that being binary here may not lead to a solution. It’s not 1 or 0. Left or right.

Without being too woo-woo here, I can tell you that it’s probably a good time to look at the balance of mind and soul. Don’t stop reading. From here it’s downhill. Seven sentences to go.

The decision which you are facing is not whether to take a break. Since you have invested so much time to get somewhere you definitely don’t want to throw it in the bin.

The first decision that you may consider is which of your daily tasks to scratch out. The slack that you’ll create will give you all the space you need to get your work and soul back in balance. In the end, you are not who you were when you started that crazy run.

From time to time you need just to rebalance. Voila, suddenly you don’t have to make a decision.

All Work and No Play
By: Emma George
Tags: Work Life Balance, Vacation, Work, America

While summer vacation has drawn to a close, most people haven’t even taken anytime off. The Time magazine article, “Save the American Vacation” states that only 87% of full-time workers get paid vacation and only 34% of part-time employees. Workers feel worn out from all their work, but won’t take vacations in fear of seaming lazy or getting behind on projects. Workers should get more paid vacation days in America because it increases worker happiness and productivity and because other countries are showing the benefits of time off.

One of the main reasons American workers don’t take as much time off as they should is because they are afraid of losing promotions due to being seen as lazy. The down side to this is workers are overworking themselves. This overworking just leads to lower quality work, which is detrimental to the employee and the company. If companies encouraged more vacation days, workers would be more inclined to take these days allowing for the companies workers to recharge and produce better work after they come back. As the article states, even when employees take vacations, 61% still do some type of work during their vacation. Companies should be encouraging employees to take vacation days to disconnect from work to keep their workers performing their best.

American workers are suffering the most because many of their european counterparts are already adopting this philosophy of more vacations. Switzerland, Luxembourg, and Norway all guaranteed at least 28 paid days off compared to Americas average of 16 paid days off, which isn’t even guaranteed to all employees. These increased days off also correlate to the fact that these three countries are the top ranking for worker productivity. These statistics show that there isn’t a disadvantage to America adopting this vacation policy.

Compared to European countries, America falls way behind in offering paid vacation day. Having more of these vacation days will help build a more productive workforce by allowing employees to take time to recharge without fearing what’s waiting for them when they come back to their jobs. This practice of vacation days has become a standard across Europe, and it should become a standard in America too. It will help lead to a more productive, happier, and high quality producing workforce, which will help America grow their economy even faster.
Train to Goa

Tags: Vacation, Goa, Holidays, Indian Railways, Train Travel

Goa is an ideal holiday destination. Connecting to Goa is yet a challenge and thus an ideal vacation needs a well planned train schedule especially from Bangalore. Goa is however well connected by road and air but a rail journey via the scenic Doodh Sagar falls is unmissable.

Yeswantpur-Vasco Bi-weekly Express connects Goa from Bengaluru via Hubballi-Londa-Madgaon Junction. Of late, Goa is now witnessing influx of rail passengers all through the year due to holiday season, festivals and popular events like International Film Festival of India held every year in Goa. With such a huge demand and high patronage to travel to Goa by trains, there is a now a high necessity for a daily train connectivity to Madgaon from Bengaluru.

Sir, since long Vasco-Yeswantpur Express has been operating only on a bi-weekly basis without much change in either increase in the frequency or extension of train to run on daily basis. Even the other two Bengaluru bound trains i.e. Vasco-Chennai Central Express and Vasco-Velankanni Express hasn’t even witnessed an increase in frequency either. The availability of a daily service to Goa by either of the three trains has is highly essential to help the tourism sector.

Thus the policy makers may consider a suggestion to increase the frequency Yeswantpur-Vasco Bi-weekly Express into a daily train. Alternatively suggestion to increase the frequency of both Vasco-Chennai Central Express and Vasco-Velankanni Express via Bengaluru into a tri-weekly services may also be considered (through a rake sharing arrangement amongst the three trains)

The tour of polar regions will give an astounding experience of the lifetime.

Well, you’d be wondering how it has been called “beautiful desolation” for a while. We are compelled to say the natural forces of the world will drive you crazy after its discovery. You can check out what’s different and otherworldly, as they call it, from other tourist places. No matter what, you’re bound to experience a completely unique trip if you board one of the best Antarctic cruises.

Antarctic Cruises

The problem derives itself when there are too many options to overwhelm you with an insane range of services. If you won’t maintain your sangfroid, you might even want to cancel the program of visiting the polar regions. The flights, the cruises, the travel — all may kill your mood and you won’t feel like visiting these wonders of the world at all!

Let’s help you with a few quick tips.

Choose reliable travel operator. We don’t mean namesake tour & travel operators. You can know of travel operators or tour booking companies that have tremendous ties with the cruise companies. Mostly, they should categorically tell you about the different cruise types and services available on them. The availability of both large and small vessels make it more confusing for people to choose according to their preferences.

Season-based voyages. Nowadays, you can check for an Antarctic cruise based on the season. Most of these voyages go between the months of December and March. So, plan accordingly.

Activities. What’s your interest? Is it polar diving or photography? You can find different cruises for your list of interests. Gather what you have in mind and take a decision to hop on!

Nature plays a big role in painting a glorious ambience and resorts located in the lap of nature are very popular when it comes to spending quality time.

The spacious rooms are jam-packed with top-notch furniture and mind-blowing views that will captivate your soul. Furthermore, the rooms are packed with all the necessities, ensuring a luxurious stay.

• Appetising Delicacies: A holiday is incomplete without good food. Appease your taste buds with lip-smacking delicacies available there. Be it Thai, Indian, Chinese, or Continental, the multi-cuisine restaurant serves them all.

• Relaxation: Most of these resorts have a swimming pool which is centre to all the fun activities. People can spend a lovely time with their near and dear ones chit-chatting by the swimming pool over a glass of premium mocktail. A leisurely swim in the tranquil waters can also be a refreshing idea.

Entertainment: A holiday devoid of entertainment and fun holds no value. There is no stopping the fun at these resorts. When the sun sets, you can head straight to the pub and relax your mind with premium quality alcoholic beverages. You can unleash the party avatar in you by swinging your foot on to the pumping tracks played by the DJ.

The Ideal Fun Destination

Distant from the rush, the resorts have emerged as the ideal holiday destination for friends, families, corporate, and couples.

Head to these resorts and welcome a spectacular holiday with your loved ones.
Father’s Day

Tiger Run is cool. Well designed with beautiful landscaping and plenty of amenities, they have a number of rules to “make your stay more enjoyable.” My favorite was, Wildlife: Bears, Moose, and Fox are not considered pets and may not be fed at any time. We’re not in Kansas anymore.

The rest of my family has no problem sleeping in, so I busted out the Keurig and took my coffee on a walk. It was a clear, bright morning and though my phone told me it was only 37 degrees outside, the sun was quickly warming the air. Eric surprised me by getting up a little after 9am and we took ourselves on an ambitious hike up the Colorado Trail. I was huffing and puffing early on. This must be attributed to altitude and not the fact that I’ve been mostly sitting for the last 4 days of travel.

We crushed the first of 400 miles of the Colorado Trail, which boasts a high point of more than 13,000 feet and a low point is 5,500 feet. (Or as Matthew tells me, more than a mile above sea level.) The higher we got, the more I realized that Tiger Run looks a lot like the Lincoln Log villages Topher used to build when he was small. We successfully navigated the dirt bikes chugging up and barreling down there trail.

The yellow arrow points to our RV from our Father’s Day hike.

We packed up and got ready for our 4.5 hour drive from Breckenridge to Arches. While Eric was raising the queen size bunk, the curtains got tangled and jammed the lift about 6 inches from the top. Shit. The last thing I want to do is break Jen’s RV. After about 30 minutes of Eric and I snapping at the kids to “STOP TALKING” while we tried to figure out what had happened, I was able to wedge my hand inside of the driver’s side gear box to find the lift had gotten unplugged. I plugged it back in and voila! Nothing happened.

Pro tip: At RV camp grounds, you’ll find nice and knowledgeable people happy to lend a hand. Anything from helping you set up your hook-ups for the dump tank to trying to figure out why your bunk lift isn’t working.

Russell was visiting Colorado from Texas. He had all of his tools, including a volt meter and was only too happy to come onboard and trouble shoot our troubles. After checking all of the fuses, peaking inside the gear box and spending 90 minutes thinking and looking, we came to the conclusion that the bunk lift was stuck. Poor Jen. I had to call to talk and it through with her. Her first piece of advice was take down the curtains. Check. Her second was that it should be ok to drive. Another happy accident. Losing those six inches of space has helped cut down on the size and glare on our massive windshield. Later than we wanted, we were finally on the road.

Sadly, our prolonged visit with Russell meant we didn’t have time to detour through Aspen to see the John Denver Memorial Gardens. Aspen, we will come back.
The Magic of PTO

I started working at SpiderOak back before we had an HR department or many formal company policies. Most of us were contractors. Since we didn’t have other benefits, we had “unlimited time off.” (This was pretty popular in the startup world back then.) The idea is great; take as much time as you need! The thing the company values is you getting your work done, not counting your hours at work. In practice I found that to be true. I was almost never asked to track hours or account for my time. As far as taking time off, I was also never told I could not take time off. But no one ever took much time off.

It’s fine to say that everyone can have as much time off as they want or need, but everyone in my department ended up taking very little because we felt guilty. Staffing was tight, as it tends to be at startups, and me taking time off means my colleagues need to cover for me.

One magical day a few years later, when we were all full time employees with benefits and health care, we started to have a more formalized HR policy with Paid Time Off limits and the ability to roll over two weeks of vacation time from one year to the next. When we had clear limits on how much time we were allowed to take and a clear “use it or lose it” policy, everyone started to take more time off. Not only that, we stopped feeling guilty about it. Everyone knew how much time off they had, it was easy to put in for vacation and sick days, and it was also easy to see who was out of the office across the company. This was huge! I no longer needed to wonder when a coworker in another department would return from vacation. I simply had to check the PTO system.

During the last few months, having a system like this in place has been a lifesaver. Everyone is feeling more stress than normal. It’s important to take time off, to recharge, and to step away from work even if we’re not able to get too far away from the space that we work from home in. I’m grateful to be at a company where we have normalized the PTO process and that employees are encouraged to take time off.

Use the time you need to take care of yourself. If you get paid time off, take advantage of this great benefit.
‘Iced Tea’

‘Iced Tea’

The four of us have a lot of inside jokes and ‘doing stuff’ somehow got short-formed to ‘stuffing’ so that’s what we call getting out and about enjoying activities.

Today we had a full day of ‘stuffing’ so this is one is going to be short.

Looking at the clock displaying 22:20, I looked around the hotel room to figure out what the heck I’m going to write on…iced tea it is.

— — — — — — — — — — -

After an early dinner and a rainy swim, we dried off and went out for a before-bed stroll.

The rain had subsided earlier this evening and we wanted to get the most out of our day. Heading up toward Robson Street, the boys wanted another snack and drink and to take in a bit of Vancouver night-life.

Braden could drink iced tea all day long if I let him and he wanted a cold one tonight while on our walk before bed.

That was a usual no from me to getting loaded up with caffeine right before retiring for the night...even if we were on vacation.

Down the road was Safeway and Braden kept pushing for a particular drink he likes. After hearing him out, the chosen bottle of iced tea made it to the checkout line with us.

Pure Leaf Mango Hibiscus iced tea is the perfect mix of Braden’s two favourite things and it’s herbal so it’s naturally caffeine-free. Yes it has sugar but not jacking him on anything extra was enough of a win for me and it looked super refreshing to our parched selves after our nighttime downtown walk.

— — — — — — — — — — —

I would have to agree with B that iced tea is tha’ bomb.

From consuming too much Orchard Hill as a teen to having a permanent container of Good Host in the pantry, the booze-free brew is a solid family fav. If you’re looking for a really good one, one of the best ‘home brews’ we’ve ever had (in our opinion) can be found at Bright Eye Brewing in Kamloops, B.C. and I promise you won’t be disappointed.

Night,
