Fall in Love with Travel Again
This morning I woke up to a bit of cool weather here in Louisiana. I sat on my back porch wrapped in a blanket, sipping Louisiana’s Community Coffee, watchng the sun rise. I chatted with my husband about the change in weather and we discussed a few of the travel destinations we’d like to visit over the next few months. We’ve also started to plan a spring trip with the kids. As a family on a budget, we like to plan ahead for bigger trips so that the cost isn’t a burden to our every day budget. A new aspect we’ve added to TravelingMamas.com is our Daily Travel Deals. ThemeParkMom rounds up the best deals found on the web and posts them on most weekdays. I put emphasis on the word most, because as moms with full time jobs, sometimes the unplanned happens. We’ve also been checking out events in our own areas.
From Our Research and Development Department
Our Research and Development Team at TravelingMamas.com has been diligently searching for and testing some of the newest gadgets and travel gear for our upcoming Holiday Travel Gift Guide. Our littlest team members are having fun with new travel toys and giving thumbs up and thumbs down on everything under the sun for a family road trip. We’ve also been hitting the road, testing out vehicles for our Auto Review section. You can expect our Holiday Travel Gift Guide to be released around November 1st.
