Traveling with the family takes careful planning to be a success. From packing to managing entertainment, so much detail goes into every aspect of the family trip.
Considering the limited amount we travel with the kids, {did I mention that my Joy once screamed for an almost 7 hour car ride once, and Bubs gets car sick if we go over 50 mph?!?!} I am far from an expert on the best way to travel as a family. To make your trips run smoother, I’ve gathered 25+ AMAZING posts packed with what you need to make traveling with the family easier.
Happy and safe travels! Oh, and I’ll pray you have better luck with road trips than we do!

Sometimes as moms, the thought of a family vacation brings about angst instead of excitement, simply because we’re already stressed from other areas of our lives. So take a deep breath, pray hard, and make a lot of lists. Enjoy the memories no matter how crazy they may be!
