Walking into this Wednesday with an extra pep in o Walking into this Wednesday with an extra pep in our step.  While we’ve always raised our girls to know they can be or do anything we couldn’t be more excited for them to have witnessed #HERstory themselves today. How y’all feeling on this glorious Wednesday? #representationmatters #thefutureisfemale
“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice every “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” “The time is always right to do what is right.” Nearly 53 years later and these words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. are words that fit so perfectly in today’s society, that is a sad truth.

My dream for America would be for it to get its shit together. For the many Americans in denial of what is actually happening in this country to wake up. For allies to be loud all the time, not just on #blackouttuesday. The work Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. helped start is not done and I’m afraid it never will be. 

From visiting his birth home (swipe left) to where he was assassinated, we’ll always strive to be our children’s best teachers. Remember it starts at home! #mlkday
Wow, so many new faces in our tiny corner of IG! I Wow, so many new faces in our tiny corner of IG! I am so happy our “how we afford to travel so much” series and photography tips have been helpful, more coming soon! Just wanted to share a little more about us. We’re Monet, James, Jordyn and Kennedy and we live in South Florida. I started The Traveling Child in 2016 to inspire parents to travel the world with their kids while providing tips to make it easier and affordable. Our motto is if kids live there, kids can visit and you’ll often find us exploring destinations most don’t consider “kid friendly”. 

Hubby and I met at the one and only University of Florida #gogators. We’ve been together for 14yrs and have our 8yr wedding anniversary coming up soon. Our love for travel isn’t new, 2 months into our relationship we studied abroad together in China.

Jordyn is 6, Kennedy is 4 and they both go to regular public school because well homeschool is not for us lol, but school has been virtual recently because of you know what. Still travel with school aged kids is possible and there are flight deals during school breaks!

James works in sales in Corporate America in an office setting so while I have my own business now we do have tips on traveling frequently with a full time job as well.

I’m Jamaican and well that means I’m a hustler lol. I’m the author of the children’s book, The Traveling Child Goes to Rio de Janeiro (available on Amazon), a freelance writer for The Points Guy and wannabe photographer.  I also write for our own blog/website www.thetravelingchild.co where we share our tips on affordable travel, traveling with kids and providing the itineraries for all the places we’ve traveled to.

While travel is the main focus of this page we’re parents too so we also share things we find helpful raising these kids and sometimes random dance videos 🤷🏾‍♀️.

Now that you know a little bit about us, tell us a little bit about you! Or ask us any questions you have!
How we flew to Singapore for free! We got a flight How we flew to Singapore for free! We got a flight deal for $395RT (tip from our how we afford to travel so much part 1 reel) and coupled that with points earned from a sign up bonus from a travel card. That cards bonus was 100,000 points which was redeemable for $1,250 in travel purchases. $395x3 plus only the taxes for Kennedy’s lap infant ticket meant we paid nothing out of pocket for the fights there! (Save and share this post.)

Is this series helpful? What do you want me to cover in part 3?

P.S. This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to using points and miles and 60 seconds is def not enough to go in depth. So I’m hosting a webinar on Saturday, January 23rd at 1pm EST where I’ll tell and show you how to find and book flight deals, go over travel credit cards and the other tools we use to afford travel so much. You will be able to ask all the questions you want and because of that it’s an intimate event with only 30 tickets available. Can’t wait to help you learn the tools to afford travel now so when the world is completely open you’re prepared! #traveltipsandtricks
I have so much to say but at the same time don’t I have so much to say but at the same time don’t have the words. This day will go down in history!

Back to School Shopping with OshKosh

August 6, 2019      Kids Fashion, Lifestyle, Lifestyle

‘This post is sponsored by OshKosh; however, all thoughts and opinions are my own.’

Even though we’ve traveled all over the world with our kids sending my daughter off to elementary school might be the hardest and scariest thing I’ve had to do. Luckily OshKosh has eased my mind in one aspect of her starting kindergarten as they’ve made Back to School shopping a breeze. Whether your child has to wear uniforms, can dress in their own style or a mix of both OshKosh has got you covered. Best of all their low prices keeps enough money in our pockets to afford our next vacation.

Why We Go Back to School Shopping at OshKosh

Shopping at OshKosh is always easy. I love how their back to school uniform door busters are at the front of the store and easy to find. Shopping with two kids is harder than flying long haul with kids for me so walking in and seeing exactly what I need without having to search endlessly is always a win. From shorts to skorts to dresses to pants and polos, OshKosh has everything my daughters school requires.

OshKosh Always Has Clothing with Positive Words

While my daughter has to wear uniforms Monday through Thursday on Friday it’s casual and she is able to express herself in her attire. Everytime we walk into OshKosh she falls in love with graphic tees she sees. There are always positive phrases that reinforce the positive reinforcement we give her at home. While pretty girl sayings are cute “Genius at work” with math symbols floating on the shirt gives her the confidence that girls are great at math and she can be successful. Even her little sister who is only going to preschool loves knowing her shirt says “Girls can do anything!” OshKosh has clothes from size 3M-14 so it’s your one stop shop for back to school essentials.

OshKosh Has the Cutest Shoes

Not only does OshKosh have school clothes they have the cutest shoes my daughters love. We were able to get these great pairs with their buy one get one free sale! With closed toe shoe requirements at school it’s nice to have options besides sneakers.

OshKosh Has Affordable Prices

OshKosh has such affordable prices especially with their door busters. We used their 20% off coupon to make their competitive prices even lower. I can’t believe we were able to save so much money! Below is a coupon you can use on your back to school purchases. Good luck on the first day of school!
