Beyong Young Adulthood - different life stages (every 20 years)

Life moves fast.  One day you are a young adult finishing school ready to start a career, the next moment you realize your not a young adult anymore, maybe you are blessed with children, or parents that are now seniors; then suddenly you realize you are now a middle aged adult.

So looking to understand more about different life stages I looked for a standard universal set of definitions but couldn't find one.  So I found a few sites for inspiration to create general categories.

AgeLife Stage
0-20Childhood (Infant, Toddler, Child, Teen)
20-40Young Adulthood
40-60Middle Age Adulthood
60-80Senior Adulthood
80+Late Adulthood

Breaking down the stages is important because it can not only helps understand the stage you are in, but it also helps understand where others are ("seek first to be understand, to be understood" - from 7 Habits of Highly Effective People)..  For example, when realizing I can't easily relate to young adults and that I'm not one anymore or when I'm having conversations with my parents and need to understand their perspective is now from Senior Adulthood.

Now, Pre-K starts at 8:20am and finishes at 2:30pm. Since we will be completely transitioning off a Nanny we signed up our little one for the in-school after school program that let's us pick her up anytime until 530pm.   Since we still have the Nanny and being the first week, we had the Nanny pick her up around 330pm to get her used to after school. Logistically everything is working out, but our little one was so exhausted and acting a bit delirio...

5 Tips on Booking a Royal Caribbean Cruise in 2022

One of my favorite types of vacation is going on a cruise.  Especially with young children, since the ships have excellent programs to watch the kids if the parents need a break and plenty of activities for children to enjoy.  I like that is like going to an all-inclusive resort with daycare that moves, so every few days you can explore a different place.  Below are some tips I tell friends for booking on Royal Caribbean. 1) Research the Ship Royal Caribbean has a reputation for their Oasis class ships being the largest with a Park, Ice Rink and Carousel but not all their ships have all these amenities.  For example, ships that go to Alaska are on the smaller side, so they won't have be the Oasis class.  For cruises to places like the Caribbean, or where the ports aren't as exciting, then you may definitely want to make sure the Ship will keep you entertained.  However, if you are going to Europe, you may care less about the Ship as the ports are much more ...
