Hello.
Hi again! Kristel here.
I’m the face behind this page: On the Go with 4 Kids in Tow.
Where I share all the family adventures my husband and I do with…..
(you guessed it!) 4 kids in tow.
I am *that* Mom. The Mom that spends their weekends out and about, from one family-fun attraction to the next. The Mom who plans what new event to try out, months in advance. The Mom who actually loves going on family vacations.
My husband and I were together for 14 years before we had kids and we traveled a lot as a couple, but it seems so long ago now and I can’t even remember much of it anymore! Now, our weekends and vacations look quite different, but we truly have the best adventures as a family of 6.
So no matter if you have 1 child or 10, I hope to share our family adventures so it can help you plan your own adventures with your kids in tow!
Why we do this.
Besides having complete FOMO, both my husband and I work full-time and the weekends are all we have with our kids-- I want to make the most of it now, before they grow up and don’t want to be around us anymore!
But the main reason we are always spending time together as a family is unfortunately more of a sad one. We know way too many families who lost a child or a parent too young. Life is too short, so we are determined to live it to its fullest.
Your guide to the best tips, tricks & kid-friendly activities for you and your family.
What you will find on this site.
Being new to this whole blogging thing, I hope to eventually fill up this site with as many family-friendly indoor and outdoor activities to experience in both the city and suburbs of Chicago, along with more specific ideas on birthday party venues and volunteer opportunities, and special seasonal events going on. You will also find information on all our travel destinations, including detailed itineraries and food & lodging recommendations.
