EP 18: Lessons I Learned From My First Solo Trip With 3 Kids Under 5
from The My Outdoorsy Mom Podcast · host Julianne Nienberg
What happens when a mom of three little kids decides to wing it on a last-minute solo hotel trip while her husband is away on business? A little chaos, a lot of snacks, and some unforgettable lessons.In this solo episode, I’m sharing the story of my first-ever solo trip with my kids (then ages 5, 4, and 2!)—from packing the car to surviving the hotel breakfast buffet to learning how capable I actually am. Whether you’ve dreamed of solo travel with your little ones or have zero desire to take your kids anywhere alone (no shame in that game!), I hope this episode encourages you to see adventure in the ordinary and embrace the growth that comes with doing hard things.*Post-production notes: My Mom Brain got hotels confused. For this trip, we actually stayed at Drury Inn & Suites -- I've linked the exact one in my blog and show notes!A huge thank you to today’s sponsor, Cosmo Technologies!Use my code "JULIANNE" for savings and to shop the Cosmo JrTrack 5 hereWhere you can find me: Show notesInstagramRead the blogShop my activity guides and free downloads
