“There has to be a better way.” I said aloud as I pulled into the parking lot at work. I was about to begin my day doing work I really enjoyed but already felt spent.

The morning was a mad dash to get everyone ready, dressed and looking good.  Did everyone eat? Brush their teeth?  Did I sign my son’s agenda? Did I pack myself lunch?   Just getting out the door one morning took every ounce of energy I had.  I hated the frazzled feeling of my daughter who couldn’t find her shoes and we were already 5 minutes late.  There has to be a better way.  

I thought that gap years happened in your twenties.  I thought it was too late for me. When people learn I took a gap year at 42, their first comment is “I am so jealous. I wish I could do that.”

You can with this comprehensive building blocks to your family gap year.  

I am an ordinary mom, married with three kids, living in an ordinary small town in Wisconsin.  There is nothing special about me or why I get to take a gap year with my family.  It happened because we worked through the steps to get there and you can too.  

Getting to Gap Year  will give you the building blocks, tools and support to make a family gap year become a reality.  It was everything I was looking for when the idea came and I didn’t know where to start AND you’ll have other families on the journey to gap year who get it and can be here on the good days and bad.
