S1E9 NYC with Kids
New York City with kids is truly an adventure and in this episode, I'm sharing exactly what our recent family trip looked like, surprises and all. I walk through how we structured our days with three kids, what worked well (hello, Central Park and the Brooklyn Transit Museum), what surprised us most (our kids' very strong opinions about concrete vs. trees), and how we made this trip financially manageable using travel points. From navigating museums and playgrounds to handling a very long, delayed trip home, this episode is a real look at city travel with kids - the magic, the challenges, and why it's still absolutely worth it. → Read my full, detailed show notes with links here If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe to the show so you don't miss our next adventure!

Where should we go this summer? And how I plan
In this solo episode, I'm sharing how I actually plan our family trips - from the very first "what if?" spark all the way to having a flexible, ready-to-go itinerary on my phone. I share how I think about destinations, timing, points and budgets, balancing adventure with downtime, and why mindset matters just as much as logistics when traveling with kids. This isn't a step-by-step formula you have to follow, it's simply what works for me as a mom planning trips for a family of five. Hopefully hearing my process helps you feel more confident dreaming ahead, blocking time for adventures, and creating trips that feel exciting, doable, and memorable for your family. → Read my full, detailed show notes with links here If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe to the show so you don't miss our next adventure!

Welcome to the very first episode of Adventures with Kids! We're diving into a fun-filled, memory-making trip to Boston.

I hope this episode gives you a few ideas, and the confidence, to plan your own family adventure, wherever you're headed next. → Read my full, detailed show notes with links here If you enjoyed this episode, please: Subscribe to the show so you don't miss our next adventure!
