Who we are

We are a family of 5 from Massachusetts that loves to travel! Mom is a stay-at-home mom who loves bougie hotels and airport lounges. Dad is a teacher who loves free travel. Our children, a 7-year old daughter and 5-year old twin sons, love any hotel with a pool and the occasional room service breakfast.

Mom knew she wanted to take luxurious family vacations but didn’t want to break the budget so she employed one of her best skills: research! She dove into the world of award travel head first and hasn’t looked back since! Now, our next vacation is never a question of “can we?” It’s “when and where should we go with our points?”

Our family’s approach to points and miles is a little different than many of the bloggers in the award travel space so we felt it was worth sharing in the hopes that it can help and inspire others in similar situations.

For one, we are almost always traveling as a party of 5. We are also focused on destinations and hotels that suit our needs with young children. I’ve read about so many amazing redemptions for international business and first class flights, and though we plan to do that someday, now is just not our time. Our redemptions are less flashy, sometimes less impressive from a cent-per-point value perspective, but they enrich our lives and we have no regrets.

We hope you’ll feel inspired to plan the kind of trip that’s right for your family! Thanks for joining us here!
