Helping families discover that adventure doesn't stop with a baby.

After spending 16 days camping with our baby, we learned one big lesson:

You need far less than you think.

Before our trip, I spent weeks researching packing lists, trying to prepare for every possible situation. Like most first-time parents, I packed "just in case" items that never left the bag.

Some things became everyday essentials.

Others came home exactly as we packed them.

If you're planning your first camping trip with a baby, here's what we actually used—and what we'd pack differently next time.

Thailand is one of those destinations that looks perfect on Instagram: turquoise water, beachside massages, incredible food, and affordable luxury.

But when you’re traveling with a baby, the real question becomes: is it actually worth it-or just too hard?

We recently travelled to Thailand with our baby, and I’m going to break down exactly what it was like—the good, the hard parts, and whether we’d do it again.

We just finished a road trip across the U.S. with Parker at 6 months old — and I’ll say this upfront:

It was slower, messier, and more beautiful than we expected.

If you’re planning a road trip with a baby, this isn’t a “perfect itinerary” post. This is what actually worked for us — and what we’d do differently next time.

Finding a place to stay with a baby can feel surprisingly stressful.

Before Parker, choosing accommodation was mostly about location, price, and maybe a nice view. Traveling with a baby changes that equation. Suddenly things like nap schedules, quiet evenings, and space to move around matter much more than fancy amenities.

After our first few trips, we realized something important: a place doesn’t just need to allow babies - it needs to actually work for traveling with a baby.

Here are the features that made the biggest difference for us when choosing baby-friendly accommodation.
