➡️ One of the main reasons Charlotte’s dad and I never went to court was because I didn’t want to have to ask permission to travel with my daughter. I’m so grateful that we’ve built a relationship based on trust, mutual respect, and support — he understands my Sagittarius, on-the-go lifestyle and the freedom it brings us both.
Watching the sunrise 🌅 is one of my favorite pastimes. It’s the first thing I look forward to in every city I visit — and when I catch a good one, I never forget it. In the early days of motherhood, I missed a lot of those moments because I didn’t know how to be a “practical mom” and still make time for what lights me up.
Fast-forward a few years, and I’ve learned how to do both. Whether that means booking an Embassy Suite (because let’s be honest — two separate rooms with a closing door is essential for privacy and a little breathing room) or finding a lodge tucked into nature that still feels safe and comfortable so I can sneak off into the sunrise, I always make sure our travels balance adventure and security.
I like to believe I’m never really alone (that might freak some people out at first), but I feel surrounded by divine protection ✝️ and trust that most people are good. That doesn’t mean ignoring safety or being naïve — it just means staying aware, intentional, and prepared while still living fully.
Every parent has a different comfort level when traveling with kids. When Charlotte was a baby, we took off in our van for weeks at a time. Now that she’s 5+, I appreciate hotels and lodges that let us enjoy nature and a good shower.
The truth is, you don’t have to give up the luxury of travel when you become a parent — you just evolve with it. It takes a little more planning, but the memories you make are absolutely worth it. 💕
