I’m a member of Master Lock’s Live Secure Safety Squad and have been compensated for my time in writing this post.
The older I get, the more I marvel at the seasons of life. What we want and what we worry about changes with each stage of life.
When I was 16, I thought I knew everything. I never could have imagined what life would be like at
- college,
- my first corporate job,
- getting married,
- struggling with infertility,
- being pregnant,
- having a newborn,
- being a mom with babies in diapers,
- surviving toddler tantrums,
- getting divorced,
- battling homework wars, and
- whatever else is still ahead.
Each season of my life feels incredibly different from the one before — each with blessings and trials of its own.
It got me to thinking how even what trip I’d like to take changes with the seasons of life. I think our dream trips change from when we are children to before and after we have children.
In my current season of life, if I dream of a trip, I cannot even see past two distinct themes. As a tired mother of 7 and 9-year-old girls, where I’d fly off to is different than where a 19-year-old version of myself would go.
Top 3 Trips I’d Like to Take Right Now With My Kids
- Disney World
- Disney Aulani
- Disneyland
Top 3 Trips I’d Like to Take Right Now Without My Kids
- A Beach in Hawaii
- A Beach in the Bahamas
- A Beach Anywhere Else
No matter whether I’m traveling with my kids or alone, security is always top of mind. And whether I’m packing for a trip with or without my kids, you can be sure, I’ll pack too much. With a Master Lock TSA Approved Luggage Lock, I can have peace of mind that my overstuffed bags are safe.
These luggage locks allow only the TSA to access your belongings if necessary. You can easily set and reset the combination and the flexible shackle won’t damage the zipper on your suitcase.
