Most boss moms have been indoors for way too long in the last year and a half and are looking forward to traveling freely again. Many destinations have opened up within the country and abroad, which is exciting news since we’ve all been locked indoors for a long time! One of the best ideas, while work-from-home is still in practice, is to take a family trip to a beautiful place and carry your office with you! These trips are known as staycations, a vacation where you stay over for an extended period and work from the location.

You can work during hours and do touristy things with the family off duty and on weekends, getting the best of both worlds. However, have you considered what happens to your workout schedule?

However, if you don’t want to carry an extra item, this is one thing that can be found at any convenience or wellness store easily; plus, they’re super affordable!
