If you’re on a tight budget but still want to tr

If you’re on a tight budget but still want to travel abroad, one way to do it is to fly out of a hub airport or airport that is a hub for an airline. This might require that you travel to a destination to get that amazing fare but when you add it all up, it’s cheaper than departing from your home airport.

For example, my closest airport is DCA (which has plenty of affordable international flight options). Buuuut if my money is funny, I might hop on a train or take a quick flight from DC to New York City to get dirt-cheap airfare.

So, this week, we’re checking budget airfare options for the summer from hub airports (places you might have to travel to get these great fares). Since we’re featuring hub airports this week, we’re only featuring airfares under $350 R/T for the month of July. The departure cities listed above are:

✨ Dallas Fort Worth (DFW)
✨ Atlanta (ATL)
✨ Chicago (ORD)
✨ Los Angeles (LAX)

I found all these flights on @skyscanner. To find cheap flights, go over to Skyscanner, select your departure city, and click the “Everywhere” option as your destination. Then select a full month range to see where you can travel within your budget.

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐤𝐢𝐝’𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐝! (Save & Share this post)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We just figured out that this cutie gets motion sickness during our loooooong road trip from DC to Nashville. She got sick a few times and my poor baby was miserable. It was ROUGH y’all!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We learned a few tricks to help reduce her nausea & make her more comfortable.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here are some of the steps you can take to lessen motion sickness for your little ones:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. 𝐇𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐥, 𝐛𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐬. It’s best to limit their intake of foods and drinks. We fed my daughter smaller meals frequently. Austen got sick most often after eating a heavy meal on the road.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. 𝐏𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐬 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲. We discovered that looking at a tablet while the car was in motion only exasperated Austen’s motion sickness. Have your child look out of the window instead.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐩 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲. I know you might be ready to get to your destination, but plan some stops along the way. Getting fresh air really helped.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4. 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐥 𝐝𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐞𝐝𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞. If you can, hit the road at night or early in the morning. On our return drive home, we left at 4am and Austen slept a good portion of the way home.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
5. 𝐁𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐝. Bring a barf bag, or bucket, and towelettes or other wet cloths to clean up any spillage. 🤢 Always keep a full change of clothes in the car. I usually pack a full set of clothes in each kid’s book bag.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What tips or tricks do you use to reduce your kid’s motion sickness?

We spent a weekend checking out Loudoun County, Vi

We spent a weekend checking out Loudoun County, Virginia, and had so much fun! Loudoun County is the perfect destination for a weekend jaunt from Maryland.

Located just 25 miles from DC, this area is known as ‘DC’s wine country’ but there’s plenty to do for families.

Here are a few things we enjoyed during our 2-day stay [SAVE & SHARE]:
 1. We picked our own fruit at @greatcountryfarms The farm also had a pie eating contest while we were there. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
2. Enjoy a cold one at @dirtfarmbrewing If you love a good lager like I do, try their “Straw” beer. It was sooo good! But this brewery not only delivered on beer, but also on views. There's also plenty of space for the kiddos to play.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
3. After a few brews, head out to the Red Rock Wilderness Overlook Park for a walk. The Park has more than 60 acres of walking trails. The kids enjoyed the historic buildings on site. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
4. Before heading home, stop by @leesburganimalpark and were treated to a live animal presentation.
⁠⁠
The next time we visit Loudoun County we’re planning to check out the historic town of Middleburg, explore the @salamanderresort and do a little shopping at the outlet shops in Leesburg.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Have you been to Loudoun County, Virginia?

If you need to jumpstart your motivation muscles o

If you need to jumpstart your motivation muscles or if you’re stuck in a rut, the following tips can help you to get unstuck [SAVE + SHARE this post]:

Staying motivated can be challenging, but here are some strategies that might help:

1. Find your "why": Drilling down and getting crystal clear on your motivation for pursuing your goals can help you stay committed and focused. Ask yourself why you want to achieve your goals, and how achieving them will improve your life. For example, if your goal is to learn a new language, your motivation might be to travel more easily or communicate with family members.

2. Set clear goals: Make sure your goals are specific, measurable, and achievable. Break your goals down into smaller, achievable steps so that you can track your progress and celebrate your accomplishments along the way.

3. Create a plan: Develop a plan for achieving your goals that includes specific tasks and deadlines. This can help you stay organized and focused.

4. Use positive self-talk: Encourage yourself with positive self-talk. Focus on your positive traits and goals to reinforce your confidence and ability to achieve your goals.

5. Surround yourself with positive people: Surround yourself with people who support and encourage you. Joining a group or finding a coach or mentor can help you stay motivated and accountable.

Bonus: Remember that staying motivated is a process and it requires effort and commitment. Keep these strategies in mind and experiment to see what works best for you.

<img src="https://mommawanderlust.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png" alt="If you’re on a tight budget but still want to travel abroad, one way to do it is to fly out of a hub airport or airport that is a hub for an airline. This might require that you travel to a destination to get that amazing fare but when you add it all up, it’s cheaper than departing from your home airport. For example, my closest airport is DCA (which has plenty of affordable international flight options). Buuuut if my money is funny, I might hop on a train or take a quick flight from DC to New York City to get dirt-cheap airfare. So, this week, we’re checking budget airfare options for the summer from hub airports (places you might have to travel to get these great fares). Since we’re featuring hub airports this week, we’re only featuring airfares under $350 R/T for the month of July. The departure cities listed above are: ✨ Dallas Fort Worth (DFW) ✨ Atlanta (ATL) ✨ Chicago (ORD) ✨ Los Angeles (LAX) I found all these flights on @skyscanner. To find cheap flights, go over to Skyscanner, select your departure city, and click the “Everywhere” option as your destination. Then select a full month range to see where you can travel within your budget. • • • • #workhardtravelwell #girlslovetravel #familytravel #cheapflights #budgettravel #affordabletravel #familyadventures #travelreels #explorepage #reelitfeelit #traveladdict #travelblogger #cheaptickets #budgettraveller">

(Save & Share this post) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We just figured out that this cutie gets motion sickness during our loooooong road trip from DC to Nashville. She got sick a few times and my poor baby was miserable. It was ROUGH y’all!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We learned a few tricks to help reduce her nausea & make her more comfortable. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Here are some of the steps you can take to lessen motion sickness for your little ones: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1. 𝐇𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐥, 𝐛𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐬. It’s best to limit their intake of foods and drinks. We fed my daughter smaller meals frequently. Austen got sick most often after eating a heavy meal on the road. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 2. 𝐏𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐬 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲. We discovered that looking at a tablet while the car was in motion only exasperated Austen’s motion sickness. Have your child look out of the window instead. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 3. 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐩 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲. I know you might be ready to get to your destination, but plan some stops along the way. Getting fresh air really helped. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 4. 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐥 𝐝𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐞𝐝𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞. If you can, hit the road at night or early in the morning. On our return drive home, we left at 4am and Austen slept a good portion of the way home. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 5. 𝐁𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐝. Bring a barf bag, or bucket, and towelettes or other wet cloths to clean up any spillage. 🤢 Always keep a full change of clothes in the car. I usually pack a full set of clothes in each kid’s book bag. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What tips or tricks do you use to reduce your kid’s motion sickness? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #motionsickness #roadtrip #nashville #visittn #countrymusichalloffame #southerngirls #travelkids #kidtravel #takethekids">

<img src="https://mommawanderlust.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png" alt="We spent a weekend checking out Loudoun County, Virginia, and had so much fun! Loudoun County is the perfect destination for a weekend jaunt from Maryland. Located just 25 miles from DC, this area is known as ‘DC’s wine country’ but there’s plenty to do for families. Here are a few things we enjoyed during our 2-day stay [SAVE & SHARE]:  1. We picked our own fruit at @greatcountryfarms The farm also had a pie eating contest while we were there. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ 2. Enjoy a cold one at @dirtfarmbrewing If you love a good lager like I do, try their “Straw” beer. It was sooo good! But this brewery not only delivered on beer, but also on views. There's also plenty of space for the kiddos to play.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ 3. After a few brews, head out to the Red Rock Wilderness Overlook Park for a walk. The Park has more than 60 acres of walking trails. The kids enjoyed the historic buildings on site. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ 4. Before heading home, stop by @leesburganimalpark and were treated to a live animal presentation. ⁠⁠ The next time we visit Loudoun County we’re planning to check out the historic town of Middleburg, explore the @salamanderresort and do a little shopping at the outlet shops in Leesburg.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Have you been to Loudoun County, Virginia? ⁠⁠ #visitloudouncountyva #traveltiptuesday #visitloudoun #travelingwithkids #motherhoodunplugged #clickinmoms">

<img src="https://mommawanderlust.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png" alt="If you need to jumpstart your motivation muscles or if you’re stuck in a rut, the following tips can help you to get unstuck [SAVE + SHARE this post]: Staying motivated can be challenging, but here are some strategies that might help: 1. Find your "why": Drilling down and getting crystal clear on your motivation for pursuing your goals can help you stay committed and focused. Ask yourself why you want to achieve your goals, and how achieving them will improve your life. For example, if your goal is to learn a new language, your motivation might be to travel more easily or communicate with family members. 2. Set clear goals: Make sure your goals are specific, measurable, and achievable. Break your goals down into smaller, achievable steps so that you can track your progress and celebrate your accomplishments along the way. 3. Create a plan: Develop a plan for achieving your goals that includes specific tasks and deadlines. This can help you stay organized and focused. 4. Use positive self-talk: Encourage yourself with positive self-talk. Focus on your positive traits and goals to reinforce your confidence and ability to achieve your goals. 5. Surround yourself with positive people: Surround yourself with people who support and encourage you. Joining a group or finding a coach or mentor can help you stay motivated and accountable. Bonus: Remember that staying motivated is a process and it requires effort and commitment. Keep these strategies in mind and experiment to see what works best for you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Follow @thewanderlustmomma for more tips. • • • • #entrepreneurship #writersofinstagram #motivation #howtocreate #traveltips #womensupportingwomen">
