In an epic self-care saga, a savvy mom packed her bag, kissed the chaos goodbye, and ditched bedtime battles for a booze-filled weekend by the pool—no kids, no reapplying sunscreen for wriggly bodies, just bottoms-up cocktails and zero meltdowns. She’s the brain behind a Business Insider revelation (2025) championing guilt-free parental getaways that don't involve schlepping kids to splash parks or dealing with watermelon stains. Her brilliant parenting hack? Don’t say 'I’ll miss you' (kids deserve honesty, people). With fridge prepped, caregiver squad ready, and UV lotion on permanent vacation, she returns refreshed, trinket-bearing, and temporarily ignoring kids' toothbrushing disputes. Revelatory advice: kids are independent; moms deserve cocktails.
