Welcome to Our Golden Hour

Why My Traveling Kids Is Becoming Our Golden Hour

For years, My Traveling Kids has been more than just the name of my blog—it has been a scrapbook of our family’s adventures.

Together, we’ve explored new cities, wandered through museums, found hidden restaurants, discovered beautiful beaches, and created memories that I wouldn’t trade for anything. Some of my favorite moments have been sharing those experiences with my husband and our daughters, and I feel incredibly grateful that you’ve come along for the ride.

But as every parent knows, life doesn’t stand still.

Our girls have grown up.

They’re building lives of their own, chasing their dreams, and beginning exciting new chapters. As proud as I am of them, I’d be lying if I said this transition hasn’t been emotional. Like so many parents, I’m learning what it means to have an empty nest.

And that’s exactly why it’s time for something new.

I’m excited to introduce the next chapter of this journey:

Golden hour is that magical time just before sunset when everything seems to glow. The light is softer. The pace slows down. Ordinary moments suddenly feel extraordinary.

This season isn’t about looking back with sadness—it’s about moving forward with gratitude and excitement for what’s still ahead.

As my life has changed, it only felt natural for my blog to grow with it.

My hope is that Golden Hour becomes a place where women can find inspiration to travel, create, slow down, and embrace all the possibilities that come with this stage of life.

If you’ve been reading My Traveling Kids for years, thank you. Thank you for celebrating our family vacations, reading my travel guides, leaving thoughtful comments, and supporting this little corner of the internet.

The name may be changing, but the heart behind it hasn’t.

I’m still passionate about discovering beautiful places, finding meaningful experiences, and helping others create memories of their own.

The only difference is that the adventures look a little different now.

Here’s to New Beginnings

If you’re also finding yourself in this season—whether your children have just left for college, started careers, or begun families of their own—I hope you’ll join me.
