Fresh off a big family summer "vacation", Sarah is back with plenty of stories—and a few battle scars. After coming home bruised & slightly concussed, she's sharing some learnings from the road!

In this episode, we're talking road trip hacks, hotel stay survival, realistic expectations for family vacations, bedtime strategies when everyone is sharing one room, and the little things that can make traveling with toddlers feel a whole lot easier. Plus, we get honest about marital tensions when the "vacation" doesn't exactly feel relaxing.

If you've got a family trip on the calendar this summer, this episode is packed with practical tips, plenty of laughs, and a reminder that not everything is what it seems on Instagram
