The Momcation Diaries: A CEO’s Journey Through Essential Motherhood Retreats for Rejuvenation
Danielle Melton here, CEO of MOTHERboard Society. Today, I'm introducing you to an initiative that is close to my heart and something I believe every mother, including myself, sometimes yearns for - the concept of a "Momcation."
Embarking on 'The Momcation Diaries'
In the age of catchy digital terms like “girl boss” and “momprenuer,” allow me to add another to the mix: "momcation." At its essence, a momcation is a vacation taken by a mother, be it a solo sojourn or a journey with friends. The cardinal rule? No kids. This is a time to bask in self-care, to rejuvenate, and to just be.
The Vision Behind the Momcation Diaries
In an endeavor to walk the talk and encourage more mothers to embrace this concept, I've embarked on a personal project: The Momcation Diaries. Over the course of the next several months, I'll be taking a hiatus from parenthood and will be staying at 20 different 'momcation' hotels spanning from Chicago and NYC to New Mexico, Dallas, and more. The idea is not just to escape but to evaluate, experience, and share these retreats from a mother's perspective. I'll document my travels, giving you an intimate look into each location's momcation potential, ensuring you have the best recommendations for your own rejuvenating break.
Why MOTHERboard Society Champions the Momcation
At MOTHERboard Society, our ethos revolves around supporting mothers in every aspect of their lives. It's imperative to remember that beneath the layers of responsibilities, there's a woman who deserves time for herself. This isn't merely about luxury—it's a necessity
Navigating the Momcation Terrain
I acknowledge that stepping away, even momentarily, might be daunting for some. To aid in this, we at MOTHERboard Society have assembled a guide on traveling without your kids. For those facing childcare challenges, consider:
- Resorts with specialized childcare services.
- Utilizing platforms like Facebook Travel Groups to discover travel companions for mutual childcare arrangements.
- Cruises with renowned kid-friendly clubs and activities.
Momcations: Luxury or Economical? Both!
Budgetary constraints? Fear not. From exploring local attractions in the form of staycations to traversing all-inclusive resorts and scenic national parks, I'll cover a range of options catering to various budget brackets.
Join me on this exciting journey as I unveil the world of momcations, sharing in-depth insights, authentic experiences, and invaluable recommendations. Together, let's champion the cause of mothers everywhere, advocating for the time-off they so rightfully deserve.
