I’ve been to a wild amount of music festivals with young children because my husband’s a touring musician and the only thing harder than going to a music festival with a toddler is staying home alone with a toddler for a month. I think my most enduring Newport Folk Fest memory is being punched in the face by my (then) three year old in front of my high school bestie. And I’ve seen Dolly Parton there. But honestly lots of this resonated regarding the heavy push and pull of motherhood. Thanks for writing.
Loved this series so much as a mom of a 1-yr-old and 3.5-yr-old boy, who in June just took her very first trip without kids to . . . New York. I sobbed leaving the house for the airport, and then miraculously almost never thought of them the rest of the trip. Can't wait for the next one.
Love this - I am on that very island and have just been invited to care for one of my 4 grandsons for a week when his parents got to Europe !!! To celebrate their tenth anniversary ! Dwelling on the schedule - we will have a fun time I am sure!
