Travel doesn’t have to stop once you have kids.
And family trips can actually be enjoyable! I know it doesn’t always feel that way. But with the right plan, a realistic budget, and honest expectations, it’s more doable than you think.
For the moms who keep saying “someday we should travel”
Hi, I’m Michelle!
Hi, I’m Michelle – the mom, planner, and points-maximizer behind We Traveled Happy.
I don’t think travel has to stop once you have kids, but it does take a smarter plan and maybe a well-timed snack.
8 national parks, 3 countries, and a whole lot of hotel pools later, I’ve picked up a few tricks to make family travel feel a little less like a circus and a lot more like an adventure.
Sometimes it is just chaos in a new place, but that still beats chaos at home.
I mean have you tried enjoying a coffee at a playground in Banff with a view of the rockies? I’ll take chaos with a view anytime.
I started this blog because I kept helping friends plan trips and realized the advice they needed didn’t really exist in one place.
So I built it, and I’m so glad you found your way here!
