There’s no way around it – having a husband that travels a lot sucks. Big time. It can be lonely, tiring, and frustrating.

But I’ve quickly realize that I can either fight it or embrace it, and fighting it is often useless.

My husband travels a lot for work – almost every single week. It’s not the ideal scenario for me, but he loves his job and it gives me the opportunity to stay at home with my kids instead of working – so I’m definitely not going to fight it.

That leaves…embracing it. 

So here are the tricks I’ve come up with along the way that make the situation happier, easier, and more enjoyable. And for those that are new to having a traveling husband…I promise you, it does get easier (I know you think it won’t!).
