We just flew in this morning in the wee hours and tucked our kids in just before 4AM. I am beat! But what a lovely 10 -day vacation in Maui! We played games and enjoyed TV and swam every day. I loved that my kids got to play with their cousins and I got to spend time with my siblings and their spouses.
We stayed in a 900 square foot timeshare unit. It had two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a full-size washer/dryer, a full kitchen, a dining table with 6 chairs, a lanai with table & 4 more chairs as well as a couch/chairs in the living room. It was pretty wonderful only having 5 outfits each and the few toys we could fit into our carry-on luggage. I could clean up the entire place, including vaccuming, in about 20 minutes. I did one load of wash a day and it was easy to stay caught up. In short, it reminded me how little we need to live and still enjoy our life! I am hoping I can ride this wave for a couple weeks and get rid of lots and lots of the day-to-day items I constantly pick up!
Even more, this stay renewed my "one day" dream to live in a small space with all the kids. It was really easy to manage in the 900 square feet and I could totally see us waking up, eating breakfast, homeschooling, and living in the space. DH either smiles indulgently or rolls his eyes when I start waxing poetic about it, but whatever - A girl can dream!
My dream is more like 600 square feet with one bedroom/bath and a huge sleeping loft upstairs with a second bath for four little girls.
So look for some purging posts this week!
