Mariska:On how she clears the room after a party I say good night; go in my room and shut the door. Party over. And they still dont leave, sometimes they sleep over.
(edit)
Mariska: On how she would feel about not traveling without August: Thankfully we haven't had to think about that yet. I want to go back to Africa, but we will wait until he's old enough to enjoy it, too. I think because I work 14 hours a day and my schedule is so crazy, we just want to enjoy every moment with him. There's really nothing better than August.
(edit)
Mariska: On if she's a big 'just in case' person: Absolutely! We bring the medicines that you would need, just in case. Since teething has been the newest challenge, I'll try to bring a lot safe things he can bite on. Rattles, teething toys, little cell phones, etc.
(edit)
Mariska: What aren't my must haves. Packing's not my strength, so I always bring way too much stuff. Too many clothes, toys, sleepers, blankets... too much of everything (I guess that's what happens when you're a first time mom). Even packing his diapers takes a lot of room, a whole suitcase! And of course I have to color coordinate. Laughs The stroller, the formula, all the bottles, all the toys, the rain jackets, the just in case.
(edit)
Mariska: On does she travel with a nanny Sometimes. Since I usually travel for work, when Peter can't come, I need the extra set of hands. I think that is one of my greatest luxuries. I'm always in awe when I see Moms, especially Moms with multiple children, doing it all by themselves. They are heroes, the superstars. When I grow up I want to be just like them.
