Top 10 Weekenders from Pottly N Tubby’s #MomBoss Marie Field Faith

IMG_5332.PNG

Mompreneur and model Marie Field Faith juggles being a mother to 3 young curlies, Pottly, Tubby and Bayla and working it as owner and founder of Pottly N Tubby, an imaginative play decor shop for kids.

 

And because she believes in the power of play as the perfect bonding tool to create memorable experiences with family, she has made it her mission to find the best Must-Visit Weekend Getaways to make the most of this crazy, hot summer!

 

Why Go On A Road Trip?

Marie shares, “Allowing children to experience the wonder of adventure is truly priceless. You don’t need to go far and wide, no need for fancy places or pristine beaches to let your child enjoy the magic of the outdoors.“

Why is it worth it to let your kids wander to wonder?

  • It widens their perspective of the world
  • Takes their focus away from gadgets
  • Allows them to discover natural play once more

 

Do Your Research and Prep

Of course it takes some planning to ensure you make the most of your time away with family.  Here are Marie’s tried and tested tips:

 

  • Read multiple reviews from various sources and platforms
  • Manage expectations. Before the trip, share with your family where you are going so they know what they are up for.
  • Know your budget price range
  • Check the places above and below your budget just to see the similar listings in the category. Who knows? You might just find an unexpected gem.
