Hi! I’m Christine Taylor—an Ohio mom of five and the founder of The Taylor Travel Tribe, a family travel blog dedicated to helping families plan simple, memorable trips with kids.
Between school schedules, sports, and everyday life, we know how hard it can be to plan a trip that actually works for the whole family. That’s why we focus on real-life travel experiences—the kind that are doable, flexible, and fun for both kids and parents.
From weekend road trips from Ohio to beach vacations, ski trips, and outdoor adventures, every destination we share is based on places we’ve personally visited as a family of seven.

✨ Our Travel Philosophy
We believe family travel doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive to be meaningful.
Some of our best trips have been:
- Short, easy 2–3 day road trips
- Exploring small towns, lakes, and mountains within driving distance
- Simple adventures that leave room for flexibility
At the heart of it, travel is about:
- Curiosity
- Flexibility
- Time together
Not perfection.
💛 Why I started this blog
I created The Taylor Travel Tribe to give busy parents real, practical travel ideas for families with kids.
There’s a lot of travel content out there—but not all of it reflects what it’s actually like to travel with multiple kids.
Here, you’ll find:
- Honest recommendations
- Easy-to-follow itineraries
- Tips that actually work for families
Everything we share is based on our own experiences, so you can plan with confidence.
🌎 What You’ll Find Here
We organize our content to make trip planning simple:
- Family Road Trips (especially from Ohio and the Midwest)
- Beach Vacations
- Ski Trips with Kids
- Lake Vacations
- Adventure & Mountain Trips
- Family Travel Tips & Packing Guides
Whether you’re planning a quick weekend getaway or a bigger trip, you’ll find ideas that are realistic and family-tested.



👨👩👧👦 Traveling as a Family of Seven
Traveling with five kids has taught us a lot—how to pack smarter, plan simpler, and stay flexible.
We also share practical advice for flying with kids, road trip planning, and simple ways to make family travel feel easier.
If you’re traveling with multiple kids—or just want easier travel—you’re in the right place.
