Hotels with Your Family and Packing Tips - A Quick Video for Family Travelers


Oh you guys! We absolutely love to traveling on a budget and we wanted to share our hacks and tips with all of you! A couple of weeks ago, I (Jennifer) decided to sponsor online workshops focused on "Family Travel Hacks and Tips for Any Budget".

Thursday - Chapter four, “Hotels with Kids”, focused on items to consider when booking your hotel, when you arrive to your hotel, and when checking out of your hotel.

Friday - Chapter six, “Innovative Ways to Pack for Family Travel Experiences”, highlights innovative ways to integrate binder clips and zipper bags on your trip. These everyday items can be lifesavers for families on-the-go!

Each day had a different theme and I wanted to share them with you!


The book is NOT required, but to purchase the e-book before the course begins, click here - https://www.amazon.com/Family-Travel-Hacks-Tips-Budget-ebook/dp/B0772NS8JV/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&qid=1516159352&sr=8-1&keywords=family+travel+hacks&linkCode=sl1&tag=weekcoun-20&linkId=b30eccd84a55189341981456b6eaa4a9.

Okay, what will I be asked to do?
The ONLY thing that we are asking you to do is to share a post per day on your Facebook profile about what you are learning. That's it!

If you have any questions, please let us know! We will invite you to the group after you RSVP.

A Millennial Family's Review of a Room in the New Orleans Marriott


The New Orleans Marriott hotel is an exceptional location for families and working professionals who are traveling to New Orleans, Louisiana for a vacation or for a conference.

This hotel also has an "M Club Lounge" which is one of my FAVORITE Marriott Lounges in the world! Yes, I can say the world, because we visited our first Marriott Lounge outside of the United States this summer.


Even if you are not a Marriott Rewards member, this lounge is an incredible deal because it provides breakfast and dinner! Yum!

The rooms are amazing, because they offer spectacular views of the street below. It is a great way to see the city at a glance without actually having to leave your room.

This video offers a view of a typical room at the New Orleans Marriott.

Have a great week and plan for the weekend!

Cici's Pizza - Why Our Family Loves a Healthy, Hearty, Fun, & Affordable Alternative to the Everyday Meal


As a millennial family, we are always searching for neat ways to have fun on a budget! We were very excited to see Cici's Pizza arrive back in Hood County. When my husband and I first moved to Central Texas, we had a Cici's Pizza in our town and we loved going to Cici's Pizza for a quick bite to eat after work.


It seemed that there were other plans in store for the restaurant and the older location closed. We know that there were surprises in store for our growing town and its population. Then, we read a news article in the Hood County news that informed the county that we would receive a Cici's Pizza in the Summer of 2016. 


This was welcome news for our family, because our little one never experienced a Cici's Pizza's before this experience! We were there on one of the first days that the restaurant opened. On these days, the newest customers experiences lines that extended outside of the door.



The food was great! Wonderful salad, great pasta, amazing pizza, and our family's favorite...desserts! Great experience and the staff was wonderful as well!




We paid for our meal and we enjoyed the rest of the day! Thank you Cici's Pizza! Thank you for coming back to Hood County! Our family's summer and fall seasons are now complete, because this millennial mom and dad do not have to struggle with the next day's meal plans. Now, we have Cici's Pizza - a healthy, hearty, fun alternative to the everyday meal!

Have a great week and plan for the weekend!

Can You Fall MORE in Love with Food? Millennial Families Need to Try It!



We hope you are having a great week!


This post contains affiliate links to help you build your shopping list and travel list for your family. We are passionate about the product and the experiences listed in this post, but we also wanted to provide easy links you can click to purchase products for your busy lifestyle.

As a millennial, I love good food that is very portable. Anytime you see me traveling for leisure or work, you will see products from the Love with Food company in my travel bag.


Through our subscription with the Love with Food company, we have learned about many new products and vitamins that our family can use to keep ourselves healthy (especially during colder seasons). Companies with products like Smarty Pants are especially welcome in our household, because our little one loves vitamins.

Through the Love with Food company, you can select a Tasting Box (that's what we have), a Deluxe Box, or a Gluten Free box.

Yes, You Can Plan a Family Cruise in Less Than 48 Hours! - Our Cruise to Cozumel


This summer, we were very fortunate to plan mini vacations with our two year old!

Our first trip was a CRUISE to Cozumel from Galveston! It was only a four-day cruise, but it was super inexpensive (before the regular travel season - summer). I saw the rate only 2 days before the departure date and we paid for and planned the trip in less than 48 hours!
