[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for the feedback. I guess to me my kids are still little even if they are growing up fast :)

This is good advice. One of my biggest challenges is probably that I travel a lot, and a lot of it is international. I try to be intentional, but it's a requirement of my job. Still trying to figure that out.[/quote]

At those ages this is not a big deal.

You should bring something back from each place you go. My kid’s grandfather travels constantly and he always brings them a magnet from his travels. They love it and look forward to it so much, even though I can tell sometimes it’s just something he bought at the airport. lol Your tradition could be anything, a tshirt, pen, hat, postcard, etc.

Do not try to call everyday, that’s too much pressure, but say, if Wednesdays and Fridays have no activities then those are days when you call and chat, otherwise send a text with a photo from your hotel window or something. Managing expectations is important.

The kids will probably not even notice the lack of daily check in UNLESS you make a big deal about it. Your attitude and your husband’s attitude is going to make all the difference if the kids take it in stride or if it becomes a source of stress.[/quote]
