Don’t you wish your On-the-Go Mom would slow down enough to take a really nice tropical vacation? And if she could don’t you wish you could afford to take her on one?! Well you could give her a one-day tropical stay-cation right in your own backyard or terrace. It can be so much fun. Get the whole family involved in the planning. Remember all of the senses – sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch. You can download Hawaiian music or the soundtrack from South Pacific, use tropical scented candles, and create your very own version of a Zombie cocktail. It would be so cute to have the kids dress up and be the servers and give a hula dance performance!
Here are a few photos to give you some inspiration. Some of the materials I used to capture that South Pacific feel are:
- Orchids – Cymbidiums, Dendrobiums, and Phalenopsis
- Tropical Calathea Leaves
- Bamboo and Teak
- Raffia
- Vintage tropical fabric
Your On-the-Go Mom will be talking “Happy Talk” faster than you can say Bali. And just in case you’d like to sing along check out the lyrics!
