Building on our first year, we continued to learn so much about what it takes to run a blog. We put greater focus on establishing our business model, in addition to creating the family travel content you know and love. We stepped into our voices and became more confident in the stories we share. We started interviewing our friends about their own family travels and perspectives. We even opened a joint bank account, knowing we’re committed to our vision and hopefully manifesting the contributions and brand partnerships to come 😉
Here are just a few highlights from year two of our blog:
