    Birthday Trips with Kids (My Philosophy on Birthday Trips, How Often We Do Them, and Birthday Trip Ideas)

    In 2022 I started taking my kids on one-on-one birthday trips that focused on one of their interests.  I've continued this practice through 2026, and don't have any plans to stop! It's become one of my favorite traditions with the kids, and we love planning their birthday trips together throughout the year. Whenever I talk about our birthday trips on social media, I get a lot of questions about how often we do them and whether we still celebrate their birthday at home on a birthday trip year.  Today I'm answering all of the birthday trip questions I normally get, and sharing ideas for birthday trips we've done in the past based on interests like LEGO, Harry Potter, Star Wars, and princesses.  FIND ME AT: Blog: http://www.emilymkrause.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amomexplores/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@amomexplores EMAIL ME AT:  hello@amomexplores.com

Gate-check vs. checking at the counter, what airlines allow, and what's actually worth hauling through the airport. 🌍 Have we ever felt unsafe or unwelcome while traveling? An honest conversation about destinations that felt welcoming (and ones that didn't), how we assess safety as a family, and trusting your instincts while traveling abroad. 📉 How my content creation business almost failed, and how I recovered A behind-the-scenes look at a really tough season in my business, what went wrong, and the key shifts that helped me rebuild and keep going. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Excursions with young kids: managing the adult-to-kid ratio How we decide whether an excursion is worth it with little kids, when we split up, and realistic expectations when there are more kids than adults. 🚗 Taking four car seats to Europe I weigh in on this topic, even though we don't have extensive experience with it.  🏨 Booking hotel rooms for a family of six using points Strategies for finding rooms that actually fit big families FIND ME AT: Blog: http://www.emilymkrause.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amomexplores/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@amomexplores EMAIL ME AT:  hello@amomexplores.com

    My Points and Miles Strategy as A Mom of 4 on A School Schedule

    I'm sharing how I use points and miles for a family of 6 who can only travel during popular travel times like spring break and summer vacation. I am certainly not a points and miles expert - there are so many other podcasts out there who are so much more knowledgeable. I just wanted to share how I use points and miles as a normal person who only dabbles in the hobby to offset some of the costs of traveling with a big family.  Related Episode: How to Use Points and Miles for Your Next Family Vacation FIND ME AT: Blog: http://www.emilymkrause.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amomexplores/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@amomexplores EMAIL ME AT:  hello@amomexplores.com
