Steve and I are going on a trip, and I have a confession I may be slightly more nervous than I am excited. You see it's our first time leaving the peanut for this long. We've been away overnight once before for anniversary but this time around we will be gone for a full week.
Personally I feel that it's important for us to nourish our relationship and time alone with just each other. As much as I love family vacations I know it's important to spend some time alone and go away just with my husband. Also, if I'm being super honest Family vacations are not always the most relaxing for mommy and daddy.
So we are biting the bullet and going away for a week to Fiji! I honestly can't wait, I know that the peanut will be in the best hands because my mom is flying out to spend the week with her. I'm writing tons of notes down and by the time I'm done I'll probably have a binder full of information for my mom. Including nap schedules, eating schedules, princess ballet (yes I just signed her up for that) and swim. I'm pretty much doing this so I can to ease my nerves about leaving her for the first time for this long. My thought process was anything I can do to help make me feel more comfortable about leaving I should do.
So I came up with an idea to make the peanut her own board book talking about mommy and daddy going on a trip. I arrived at this when I was looking for books about mommy and daddy going away. Then it struck me, how cool would it be if I can make a custom board book with pictures of our own family showing her that mommy and daddy are away on a trip, how much we miss her, how much fun she'll have with her nanny and how we can't wait to come home and see her.

In the process of googling, that's when I stumbled across the company Pint Size Productions! This awesome company makes custom board books. You upload your own photos, create your own text, the book can be truly about anything you want! I decided on the 16 page, including cover 5 5/8 x 5 5/8 for our book, and I couldn't be happier.
In our book I wrote how mommy and daddy are going on a trip and how she's going to have so much fun with her nanny. I included photos of the family as well as photos of the peanut with my mom from our last trip to New York and I ended the book with mommy and daddy miss you very much and will be home so soon to give you hugs and kisses.
The shipping estimate was 10 to 12 days so I made sure I would have plenty of time before our trip. I received it this week and boy I cannot begin to explain to you how excited I was when I got this package.
The book is fantastic quality it's durable, everything is printed beautifully and it came in such a timely manner. After receiving the book and reading it a few times, my husband and I were so ecstatic with the product that I reached out to the company asking them if I can offer a promo code to my readers! These books are just too cute and the possibilities are endless!
