Pull up a chair at the table with Belle, Kathryn, and Leisha on Simply at the Table as they wrap up their travel mini-series with a heartfelt discussion on why family travel is truly worth it for homemakers.
In this episode, the mother-daughter team explores the real differences between a “trip” (goal-oriented and adventurous) and a “vacation” (restful and recharging). They share personal stories about navigating different family preferences, balancing adventure with downtime, and discovering the deeper purpose behind getting away.
Discover how intentional travel can build lasting family memories, humanize relationships, and most importantly, help you return home with fresh eyes and greater appreciation for the everyday rhythms of homemaking. From big Disney adventures to simple getaways, the conversation offers encouragement for moms wondering if the effort (and cost) is worthwhile.
Leisha, Belle, and Kathryn reflect on travel not as an escape from home, but as a powerful tool that strengthens the very home you’re cultivating, one that makes you love coming back even more.
Whether you’re team “trip” or team “vacation,” this episode will inspire you to think differently about how travel serves your family and your homemaking journey.
