Spicing Up Family Life

Here’s an idea I shared on Instagram earlier this week. I thought I’d share if with you for some inspiration.

The thing I've wanted to do most in my life is be a Mom and a wife. The second thing I've wanted to do most is to travel. Since we don't have the budget to raise a family and travel the world, I've started a new thing with my family. And I am literally so excited! My biweekly meal planning is going to be incorporated into "traveling" the world. This is week 1 of "traveling" and we are eating Italian food, learning some simple words from their language, and learning about geography, and watching 4K video footage of these places. I wish we would've began this sooner! . . . #travel #recipes #activitiesforkids #momlife #mommabird #momblogger #world #kids #family #familyfun #learning #global

For our “travels” to Italy we have taught our boys how to say “ciao” (“hi” and “bye”). We’ve also shown them the geographical location, some of the popular attractions, and a 4K drone video. We are enjoying cooking together, while listening to Italian music.

These are our main couses for dinner the next week or so:

Tortellini

Lasagna

Chicken Marsala

Risotto

Quiche

Pesto Linguine

Minestrone

Spinach Manicotti

Homemade ravioli

Potato Gnocchi

Crepes and eggs

Spaghetti with Homemade Marinara

I will continue to update you with our country experiences. Which countries would you explore with your family? And from those countries, what is most appealing to you? I’m all ears!
