Traveling with Kids - Exciting or Excruciating?

There’s something super exciting about going on vacation.  You’ve worked so hard for that time of sweet relaxation. But is it really a vacation when you bring your children along?

Before the birth of my beautiful babies, the thought of being stuck in any form of transportation with kids for more that 15 seconds made me sweat.  Profusely.  I may need to change my shirt just writing this.

My kids’ behaviors are more unpredictable than March Madness brackets.  We all hope that they’ll be sweet angels (see the pic above) and possibly sleep the whole time.  And they might…if you’ve medicated them.  But what do you do when things take a turn for the worse?

Don’t get me wrong.  Pinterest and the internet have a TON of info on the topic.  But that’s the problem.  There’s just so much out there that it’s overwhelming!

That’s the whole reason that I’ve decided to start this blog.  I’ll be scouring the internet for the best tips, tricks, gadgets, torture devices*, etc.  to find what works & what doesn’t for making traveling with your little ones as painless as possible.

I’ll also test drive products to see if they’re worth buying.  Who wants to waste their money on something that’s not going to work?  Not me!  I’m assuming not you either.  I’ll do my best to save you from going down that road.

So be on the lookout for great content to help you navigate (and survive) the adventures of traveling with your kids.  And hopefully we’ll be able to actually ENJOY that family vacation we’ve looked forward to all year long!

*Just kidding about the torture devices – unless they work of course 😉
