    About this Episode

    We are SO excited to start this podcast and share more of our life with all of you!

    It has become so important to us to empower more parents to travel with their kids - whether they traveled before kids or not. We learned through many of our own friends asking questions that they didn’t know they could still travel with kids or how to make it happen. 

    We are also sharing tons of information about our toddler's diagnosis with autism because so many parents have asked us questions - whether it's to understand better or because they are going through something similar with their child.

    We decided to create a podcast because we know many of the parents following us are busy and don't always have time to read long blog posts.  Now you can catch all of our content on the go (but don't worry, it'll still be on the blog too) because let’s be honest, that’s our reality most days.
