Fall Fun in Porto

Portugal has been on our list for a long time now and since we have only spent a night in Lisbon, we knew we needed to go back and check out more of the country.  After doing some research, Porto and the Douro Valley seemed like the perfect fall destinations and when our friends who […]

{ad} We got an early snow in the mountains and the boys had to go test out their new sled...it’s so fun and so fast! I was completely frozen but they didn’t have a care in the world dressed nice and warm in their Reima gear. Seriously, it’s such a game changer for winter activities when the kids are dressed appropriately. We have definitely lived and learned when it comes to that! Warm and happy kids means everyone can have a good time. Am I right?! - - - #reima #swissmom #sledgang #swissalps🇨🇭 #swissmountains #childrenofmountains #getoutsidemore #kidswhoexplore #curiouslittleexplorers #winterwonderland #mountainkids
We’re dreaming of a White Christmas and I think that Canada will deliver for this little snow bunny on her first Christmas ever. 😉🤔❄️😍 Is it beginning to look a lot like Christmas where you are? #familytravels #travelingwithkids #welltraveledkids #jetsettingkids #travelingwithbaby #familytraveltribe #ourtribetravels #explorewithkids #cutebabiesofinstagram #babycantravel #snowbunny #letitsnow❄️
How is it already December?! We visited the Christmas market in Paris the weekend before last and I thought surely there must be some mistake to already be getting ready for Christmas! 🤣 But I’m glad we at least made it to a Christmas market before we move. Moving in December is not for the faint hearted! Instead of wrapping presents, we’ll be packing boxes...so enjoy some holiday cheer for us please! 😉🎄 #passthegluhwein - - - #welltraveledkids #magiedenoel #paris #familytravel #travelfamily #loveyourtimetogether #christmasineurope #christmasmarkets #expatlifestyle #jetsettingkids #travelwithkids #wheretonext #kidswhotravel
Italy has been our most visited country while living in Europe and even so there is still more we want to explore. We’re putting together a blog post with our favorite Italian itineraries but in the meantime, here are some ideas in the northern half of Italy for your next trip: ⁣ ⁣ 1️⃣ Milan/ daytrip to Bergamo/ Cinque Terre⁣ ⁣ 2️⃣ Milan/ Italian Lakes- we would combine one of the bigger ones like Como or Garda with a lesser known gem like Orta or Iseo⁣ ⁣ 3️⃣ Venice and the Dolomites (which are still high on our list!) ⁣ ⁣ 4️⃣ Turin/ Piedmont/ Italian Alps- we love the Piedmont region...it’s similar to Tuscany but less touristy. Lots of vineyards and charming hilltop towns. Stay at a villa in the countryside and visit the towns of Neive, Alba, and Barolo. Then visit the Alpine villages of Couermayeur or La Thuile.⁣ ⁣ 5️⃣ Milan/ Lake Garda/ Sirmione (a charming town on Lake Garda)/ Verona⁣ ⁣ Don’t forget to bookmark this post if any of those itineraries sound good to you!⁣ ⁣ What’s been your favorite place in Italy to visit or what’s highest on your Italian bucket list? #italy_bestplaces #italyvacations #beautifulitaly #beautifuldestinationsaroundworld #beautifuldestinations #suitcasetravels #lonelyplanettraveller #cinqueterreitaly #italianvacation #italiantrip #italytravels #italytravel #europetravel #europeanvacation
I have a confession...⠀ ⠀ I wasn’t brave enough to travel alone with this crew so I convinced my mother-in-law to come along with us on this trip. But she loves to travel so I didn’t have to twist her arm too much. 😉⠀ ⠀ It’s pretty challenging for the moment to solo travel with the the three of them since the baby is still small, but I really am thinking about starting to take some one on one trips with the kids once in a while. Especially now that we are a bigger family, I’m finding it difficult to fit in much one on one time with the boys and I think that traveling with them individually would be a great way to spend some quality time.⠀ ⠀ ⠀ Have you traveled solo with kids? Or would you consider it? Send any tips my way! ⠀ ⠀ #shetravels #womenwhotravel #familytravel #travelwithkids #wearetravelmums #parentswhowander #kidstravel #jetsetfam #loveyourtimetogether #takeyourkidseverywhere #havekidswilltravel #travelingwithkids #cinqueterreitaly #liguriagram #italy_ig #italyphoto #riomaggiore #5terre
Anyone else’s kids completely oblivious to cold water temps?! 🙋🏻‍♀️ What is it about kids and their ability to swim in chilly water? And at what point do you outgrow that, because I pretty much prefer my water hot tub temp. 😏 #italywithkids #familytravel #familytravelmoment #welltraveledkids #jetsettingkids #travelingwithkids #explorewithkids #familytraveltribe #ourtribetravels #cinqueterreitaly #monterosso #monterossoalmare #loveyourtimetogether
