    Where to next? How we select our travel destinations.

    December 1, 2019 millionmilermom

    Back in my twenties, selecting a destination was easy. I browsed travel brochures or attended travel shows, something caught my eye and bam, it was booked. Now, with another adult…

The last few weeks have been a transition and, now The last few weeks have been a transition and, now, we know we're all home for at least another month. Trying to process this info combined with my husband and I both working from home, trying to keep the academics going for the older two, trying to keep the baby out of stuff he shouldn't get into and the thought of not knowing when our next trip is has taken its toll on me. . . I haven't posted recently because I've felt so hopeless and uninspired. I created this account to share my love of travel with others and demonstrate it is possible with kids. But, without trips, I feel lost. . . I've been trying to find the positives in this situation: I've gotten so much more time with my kids, I've been practicing yoga almost daily, I'm eating better, I'm finally exercising and our garden is thriving because we're out here every day tending to it. Also cleaning out closets left and right and anxiously awaiting when I can drop off my donations again! . . Let me know how you're feeling and what positives have come out for you as you've sheltered in place. . . #covid2020 #covidfamilytime #covidisolation #millionmilermom #reflections #discoverunder1k #discovertravelblogs #discovermomblogger
You want to know about the yummiest (and easiest) You want to know about the yummiest (and easiest) dinner? Salsa chicken! . . All you need is chicken breast (they can be left whole, I'll just trim any fatty bits off), a jar of salsa (fresh or jarred), taco seasoning, a can of cream of mushroom soup and sour cream. I'll spray some cooking oil in the crockpot for easy cleaning, put in everything except the sour cream and do 4 hours on high. With about 30 minutes left, shred the chicken and add about a cup of sour cream. Dinner is done! . . This dish is so versatile... can be the protein in any Mexican dish, served over rice or, my favorite, with chips, beans and cheese for nachos! . . Save this post for later and let me know how it turns out! . . #covidcooking #covid2020 #quarantinecooking #salsachicken #easycooking #crockpotrecipes #crockpotcooking #millionmilermom #food #cooking
How we got uninterrupted work time today... . . Wh How we got uninterrupted work time today... . . While the little one was napping, my husband and I setup a Play-Doh competition for the girls. It took less than 5 minutes to setup. Here's how to replicate: . . 1. Get the stations ready. In today's case, our @lakeshorelearning trays contain the mess and I grabbed our containers which hold the dough and all the tools. Also said any floor mess was negative points 😂 . 2. Make a list of what they need to create. We created four categories: star, animal, plant/flower and a face. . 3. To get then even more into it, I set a timer on our @google Home Hub to add some suspense! . 4. Mom & Dad get some quiet time to do work calls and catchup on email 🥳 . .

We're up to spring break 2008 - China! I went prio We're up to spring break 2008 - China! I went prior to the Olympics and it was fascinating to see everything being prepared for the event. . . I have so many good memories of China: the Forbidden City, the Terracotta Warriors, riding bikes on the city wall in Xi'an, exploring Shanghai and, of course, seeing the Great Wall of China. We visited the Simatai section of the wall which is outside of town and a lot less busy. It was fairly easy to get a shot like this with no one else in it. . . Would you like to visit the Great Wall one day? . . #springbreakrewind #springbreaktravel #chinatravel #beijingtravel #greatwallofchina #greatwall #exploreasia #vacationinchina #chinavacation
In an effort to avoid being the dad from the BBC r In an effort to avoid being the dad from the BBC report years ago where his kids ran it while he was presenting live, I'm hunkered down in our guest room while I present at our company hands to over 1000 people! Trying to find a quiet space, good lighting and a decent background has been an epic challenge! . .

They love making up games and a fav is this one my husband came up with affectionately known as "dots and cones". . . If you're running low on ideas for activities, this is a great indoor or outdoor toy to increase physical activity while also practicing colors and counting. . .

Today's #springbreakrewind is to 2008 when I visit Today's #springbreakrewind is to 2008 when I visited Italy! . . In my twenties, I used to help out a family with watching their daughter and household stuff. Their daughter was a Girl Scout and, one day, we were looking through the badge book and I stumbled upon a travel badge. One of the activities was planning a trip so we chose Italy. And, guess what, her parents thought it was a great idea, too! Fast forward and I got to spend a week in a beautiful country with a family near and dear to my heart. . . Venice was such a cool place and this was our view from our hotel room! Such a treat to be able to experience this gorgeous city as well as Rome and Florence. . . Have you been to Italy? If so, what's your favorite place? If you haven't been, where would you love to visit? . . #travel #italy #italia #visititaly #traveling #travelmom #rome #venice #florence #springrewind #springbreaktravel #europespringbreak #millionmilermom #havepassportwilltravel
Continuing my #springbreakrewind to 2007 when I vi Continuing my #springbreakrewind to 2007 when I visited Mexico, Belize and Guatemala. I started in Cancun but quickly made it down towards Tulum and then into Belize where I spent a few days on the island of Caye Caulker. Closed the trip by viewing the majestic Tikal ruins and finished in picturesque Antigua, Guatemala. . . I loved this trip for being so close to home but still being able to experience other cultures and see some amazing sites. Tikal was such an amazing place to visit with the ruins covering a decent distance and structures popping up through the jungle. . . Have you done this route before? Any highlights? . . #centralamericatravel #tulum #cayecaulker #cayecaulkerbelize #antiguaguatemala #exploraguatemala #springbreakrewind #travel #travelquestions #travelmemories #springbreak #belizetravel #guatemalatravel #mexicotravel #traveltuesday
