Holiday Travel with Kids Embracing
As the holiday season approaches, families everywhere are preparing to pack their bags and hit the road to visit loved ones. But for many parents, the thought of traveling with kids—especially during holidays—can be overwhelming.
Hannah, a busy mom of two young boys, has plenty of experience traveling with younger children. This last summer, their family went on a 30-hour road trip! She shares her experience and tips on how to make holiday travel not only manageable but memorable.
The Joy of Traveling with Kids
For Hannah and Travis, the holidays usually mean traveling. “One of the ways we got our boys to be
good-natured travelers was simply by doing it frequently. Just like anything else, practice helps,” Hannah shares. In today’s world, it’s easy to always be entertained. Hannah knows that learning how to handle being bored is an important skill for her boys to learn. Plus, “If you want to travel with kids, you have to travel with kids.”
Of course, traveling with little ones isn’t always picturesque. Hannah admits that certain aspects can be tough, such as diaper changes in less-than-ideal spots, finding healthy places to eat, and frequent

stops. “While frequent stops can be frustrating, it’s actually a beautiful opportunity to slow down,” Hannah shares. “We drove through Michigan this summer and were so close to our cabin, but could tell the kids were nearing a meltdown. We ended up stopping at a roadside park with the most beautiful beach and seeing our kids’ reactions to Lake Michigan was one of the highlights of our trip!” These unplanned moments are often the most special.
Keeping the Journey Screen-Free
On their recent 30-hour road trip, they managed to travel with no screen time, a feat many parents might find unimaginable. Her secret? A lot of preparation and a lot of snacks! She packs a bag of diverse toys to keep up front, which she slowly passes out during the drive so they always have a new toy to play with. “When I think I’ve packed enough snacks, I double it!” she jokes.
They packed the iPad for their road trip, fully expecting to use it. “We wanted to see how far we could go before offering it to our 4-year-old. We were so glad we put in the extra effort to encourage them to find creative ways to stay busy,” Hannah shares.
Practical Travel Tips for Families
Hannah suggests keeping things simple for parents who are hesitant about traveling with their younger kids. “Set your expectations low,” she advises. “If you expect a loud, restless, and frequently interrupted trip, then the worst thing that happens is your expectations are met. The best thing that can happen is you will be pleasantly surprised!”
One of her go-to strategies is to have a variety of playlists ready for different moods and moments. “We have a playlist of Theo’s favorites, a nursery rhyme playlist for Izzy, and a “calm baby” playlist for when they start to get grumpy and could use something soothing.” Music can make even the longest stretches of highway more bearable.
Above all, Hannah swears by snacks. “Pack ALL the snacks! It is amazing how many emotional hardships kids can get over when offered an interesting snack.”
Finding Joy in the Journey
For Hannah, one of the sweetest perks of traveling with her kids is seeing the world through their eyes. “We travel so much that our four-year-old LOVES gas stations. He thinks they are such a treat. Kids always find joy in the ordinary if we give them the opportunity!”
Hannah’s advice for families hitting the road this holiday season is simple: embrace the adventure, expect a little chaos, and make room for spontaneous moments that turn a trip into a memory. l

Ask the
Expert
Do you have a question for a Sioux Empire expert? ‘hood will be inviting area experts to weigh in and answer various questions from our readers.
Patty Solis Owner
What questions should I ask when hiring a family photographer?
Ask about their experience with family sessions, especially if you have young children. Request to see a portfolio to ensure their style matches your vision. Inquire about their process for helping families feel comfortable, which is key for natural, candid shots. Ask about locations and backup plans in case of bad weather —do they offer studio, outdoor, or in-home sessions?
Discuss the pricing, including what’s in the package (editing, digital files, or prints). Clarify the turnaround time for receiving the final images. Ask about their availability, particularly if you’re aiming for a specific date or season. Overall, be sure they are a legal business so you are covered. Happy session!

How do I support my kids in being safe online?
Keeping your children safe online can feel daunting. Some simple tips can help you begin the process of setting guidelines, having safety barriers, and creating open communication about device usage.
• Remind your children that rules are to protect, not control.
• Monitor your child’s online activities: what apps they use, games they play, or sites they visit.
• Review privacy settings for the devices, apps, and sites they use.
• Set clear boundaries about sharing pictures and information online.
• Enforce your consequences.
• Remind your child that you’re there to help.

Why is my furnace blowing cold air?
Your furnace might blow cold air for a few reasons.
• Check to see that the thermostat is set to “Heat” and not “Cool” and that the fan is set to “Auto.”
• If those settings look good, the issue could be with a clogged air filter restricting airflow, or the ignition system may be faulty.
• Sometimes, a dirty flame sensor can cause the furnace to not start properly and shut the furnace off before completing the heating cycle.
If troubleshooting these items doesn’t help, it’s best to contact a professional technician at Foley’s Heating & AC Inc. to inspect the system and restore your system to proper heating operation safely and efficiently.
