On this day in 2007, I published my first Travels with Baby Tips post. 😀 I’d already launched the TravelswithBaby.com site a few years before that, and the blog (then completely separate from the site on blogspot, because that’s how blogs were!) was only intended to help publicize my new book, the FIRST edition Travels with Baby: The Ultimate Guide for Planning Travel with Your Baby, Toddler, and Preschooler.

–>I only planned on doing a 1-paragraph tip once a week for six months–or maybe a year if it seemed to go well.

Eleven years later… so much more than “a blog”!

WELL… here we are, eleven years later! I barely had 2 kids then, and have 3 amazing children now–not to mention the additional website to focus on destinations and experiential family travel FamilyTravel411.com! Do you know what resources have at your fingertips here?

Make sure you aren’t missing out. Scroll down for an overview of all the great Travels with Baby resources that can help with your family’s travels (yes, scroll down, my friend)! 😉
