I’ve spent this last week adding key school dates to our calendar, figuring out how we get our 4 kids to their sports/activities each week, and compiling a list of games to send to grandparents. I went through emails and different apps for each sport.

And as I was figuring out this calendar puzzle, I immediately blocked off a November Cozy Escape trip. We’ll be ready for it.

As you plan for this next season, don’t forget to plan for some slow time too!

Hi! We are the Laurin family (+ Flat Stanley). We understand that getting away with kids can be stressful.

I’m packing for five people, looking at the weather, and trying to pick outfits I’m ok with getting dirty. I’m planning meals that the kids and adults will like, that don’t involve a ton of ingredients, and won’t result in too many leftovers. I’m trying to balance having a list of places to check out in the area, with being spontaneous. It’s a lot.

But it is so worth it! Take the trip. You won’t regret it. And it’s ok if your plans and prep aren’t perfect!

Our houses are set-up so that you can rearrange to fit your needs. Use a pouf to rest your feet, push aside for floor space to play a game, or jump off them to tackle a sibling.

Every time I go to Cozy Escapes, I can feel myself take a deep breath. I open the door, go inside, and stand still for a moment. I am so relaxed. And this is at my “work” and a place that I go to often. Each time it still feels magical and special.

Today, I took down Christmas decorations while listening to podcast. I got other work done and had new ideas and felt less stress. It was a perfect way to spend a rainy day.

If you are looking for a remote place to work where you can feel refreshed and creative, we’d love to host you!

It’s November 1, so I guess that means it’s time to post about Christmas.

Don’t forget to incorporate time for slowness into your holiday season. Both the Laurin and the Mackenzie houses will be decorated. We would love to host you during this magical season!

I have so many lists.

[to-do lists, project lists, summer bucket list, cleaning lists, lists for every job role I hold]

I am constantly prioritizing and reprioritizing these lists because there is never enough time to do it all.

But recently I ditched the lists to do something NOT a top priority. And I’m so glad I did.

I’m sharing what it is I did and more thoughts on lists in this month’s newsletter.

As parents we are always thinking about what is best for our kids
…what sports and activities would they like?
…how much screen time should be allowed?
…what is a good bed time?
…are they eating enough fruits and veggies?

But sometimes, it’s ok to take a break from all of the thinking and planning. Sometimes they just need a fully present you.

🎉 We are celebrating 5 years of the Laurin house!
Our family has so many memories at the Laurin house and it is crazy to think about all of the memories the 380 guests we have hosted have created.
5 years later, and the Laurin house still has that same magical feeling we felt when we first saw it.

While on a Cozy Escape, we encourage our guests to disconnect and spend quality time with each other. But we still have wifi and a TV. Because we believe in the motto “everything in moderation.”

…escape often…

I’ve been out of town a fair amount this past month. The trips with family have been wonderful. Escaping from my day to day life makes me appreciate it. The mundane routine feels special after having a break from it.

I have such a love/hate relationship with social media.

I have made many wonderful virtual connections and some have turned into real life friendships (talking about you 😉). It is also wonderful source for inspiration and entertainment.

But it takes up a lot of my time and pulls me away from my family. I am prone to falling down the “comparison trap.”

Can you relate?

And it makes us so happy to play a small part in your big memories.

We had a snow day yesterday. I did not get the Cozy Escapes work done that I had been planning. But I wasn’t frustrated like a past version of myself may have been.

I’ve gotten better about aligning my choices with my expectations, and making sure they are realistic.
