Here’s the big post of all the topics I covered in 2019 on A Tiny Trip! If there’s anything you missed, it’s your chance to catch up over the winter break! Or if you’re already planning your 2020 trips, choose a few articles to read and inspire your travel planning with kids. It was a busy year, because every year is busy. Lol! But, happily, I did a lot of trip recapping not only from the past year, but also updates on previous destinations that were sitting around waiting for a 2019 update! Read on for inspiration and advice on travel with kids.

Recap of 2019
What else can I say? We did a lot! But also I hope that I shared some content you find useful in planning your own adventures with the kids.
If there’s something you want to hear more about, now’s the time to let me know! I’m still working on 2020 plans and a happy to write whatever you’re interested in reading!
How did I do on my Blog Goals?
1. Our changing diet- How I went from vegetarian to meat eater to MSPI (milk and soy protein intolerance) to Paleo to GAPS (gut and psychology syndrome) diet. Yes I have started to talk about this, but also this is not a food blog, so all in measure. 🙂
2. Wellness practices our family has adopted. And how we adapt them when traveling! I got a start on this, but more will come!
3. Parenting- thoughtful parenting practices we live by, routines that work for us, books we read, activities we did (and recommend), and how we already have kids that love to travel! Mostly yes.
4. Our 2017 extended family trip to the American Southwest: Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon and Zion National Parks! So close, but a few more to come.
5. New York City destinations- the ultimate tiny trips for us. Yup, lots up, and yet, many more to go.
6. The details of our 2018 trip to Yucatan, Mexico. And how you can plan a similar trip! It’s all up there!
Coming up next week, goals for 2020! Share yours if you have them, so I get some new inspiration!
