Tips for Traveling with Kids 

I am always looking for ways to help you with your traveling with kids and sharing them on our Traveling with Kids Pinterest Board.  Plus we’ve just started a Place Pins Board that has a map of specific locations of Places to Visit Pinterest Board.

Where are you traveling this Summer? I’d love to know where you hope to travel this summer. A big thank to The Happy Housewife for hosting this Staycation Series.
