Nanny to Mommy

Heading abroad - or within the US - with elderly relatives is something that many people do each year, and it’s a perfect way to get all of the family together whilst enjoying a new (or well-loved) place. However, it’s important to remember that the needs of your kids and the needs of your elderly relatives are going to be completely different, although most things can still be enjoyed by the whole family. We’ve put together five tips for those vacationing with grandparents, aunts, uncles, parents… whoever it may be!

I received a complimentary copy of ABOMINABLE from Dreamworks Animation to provide this post. But, as always, all opinions are my own.

If you have been following me on Instagram, then you know my daughter had a slumber party for her 9th birthday. She had so much fun! We played games and made ornament crafts, but the hit of the night was getting to watch ABOMINABLE.

ABOMINABLE is “an epic, colorful journey home. Beautiful and exhilarating to behold” (Glenn Kenny, The New York Times). From the studio that brought you How to Train Your Dragon, this heartwarming and humorous story follows teenage Yi (Bennet) as she encounters a young Yeti on the roof of her apartment building in China, she and her mischievous friends, Jin (Trainor) and Peng (Tsai), name him “Everest” and embark on an epic quest to reunite the magical creature with his family at the highest point on Earth. But the trio of friends will have to stay one-step ahead of Burnish (Izzard), a wealthy man intent on capturing a Yeti, and zoologist Dr. Zara (Paulson) to help Everest get home.
