About Me

Hi, I’m Layla! Social mompreneur and lover of coffee, travel, and making memories with my family. My virtual fam is always asking how we do it all. I created That Travel Fam to empower others to achieve their own travel and life dreams.

I hope to inspire yours next!

My Story

My childhood was RICH with love, laughs, and memory-making! I spent weeks on pontoon boats, lounging on beaches, and entire years with extended family. Weekend getaways, long and peaceful drives through the mountains, countless excursions to other parts of the US, and even a two-week trip abroad to London and Edinburgh. Some of my favorite childhood memories came from yearly trips to New York City over Thanksgiving, where being from a small town in Arkansas, I could experience a totally different way of life.

I’m sure by now some of you are rolling your eyes and saying to yourself, “It must be nice to come from money, to afford to travel wherever and whenever you want.” But the truth is, my dad was a carpenter at a corporate fixtures factory, and my mom did inventory for a manufacturing plant for railroad parts. Financially, my parents usually had very little. I remember them always working hard to make ends meet, but when it came to providing fullness to life, they always found ways to make it work.

I share this with you because my parents influenced me to believe that despite difficult circumstances, you can achieve whatever you want in life. That lesson gave me the courage to eventually start my six-figure social retail business and just take the trip when everything tells you there’s no way to make it work.

At That Travel Fam, my main goal is to inspire you to make your travel and life dreams a reality. You may think you need wealth, health, know-how, time, or transportation. There could be a million other things holding you back. That’s okay. My hope is that each time you visit here, you leave with the inspiration to accomplish whatever you desire. When you finally take that once-in-a-lifetime trip to Bora Bora or work up the courage to hop on your first flight ever, I hope you’ll send me a message so I can celebrate with you!

About the Fam

Hello from the whole That Travel Fam, well minus the adorable little goat. I’m the one in the braids, of course. Then there’s my super amazing husband, Aaron, and our two sons, Kefa and Milo.

Kefa is the oldest and has the most gentle, sweet spirit y’all! If you’ve ever met him in real life, you know! He is always ready for the next adventure and can go at a moment’s notice. Surprises are his jam! He actually prefers it that way.

Milo is the youngest and has always had a fire about him! When he isn’t fighting for his way, he’s a little snuggle bug so he can maintain some balance. Adventures with Milo involve being open to random naps while out exploring and having multiple types of snacks handy when his hunger strikes, which is basically all of his awake hours.

Then there’s Aaron, who is incredibly patient, kind, supportive, and loving to us all. We’ve been together for half our lives now. Over the years, we’ve found that his incredibly logical, realistic approach to things is a great balance to my larger-than-life ideas which helps them ultimately become a reality. Alternatively, my big goals help push him out of his comfort zone to do things he wouldn’t normally do. We make the perfect team!

These amazing guys are always ready to go anywhere the wind takes us so they’re the perfect travel companions. We’re so excited you’ve joined us here and are excited for you to become a part of the fam too!

💎 WE FOUND A GEM!! 💎 Read on for why you’l 💎 WE FOUND A GEM!! 💎 Read on for why you’ll want to make this your next stay over in Florida! 
There are so many amazing places you can stay around Orlando, Florida! With a thriving night life, central location to the state, and proximity to multiple theme parks, Orlando is a total tourist hotspot! 
While we personally love lots of the places around Orlando, this post is dedicated one of our most chill overnight stays ever! Winter Park, Florida has tree-lined streets, historic charm, and access to nearby lakes! Take a drive through the town to see its lush gardens and make a stop at the well kept parks! There’s even a local college and a couple of museums! 
We thoroughly enjoyed our time on Park Avenue at the restaurants, coffee shop, and boutique shops. Our little ones especially loved grabbing a gelato there and hitting up the beautiful park located in the middle of it all! 
We stayed one night in Winter Park during one of the busiest times of year. But one thing we didn’t notice was TOURISTS!
If you can stay one night on the front or back end of your trip in this part of town, we highly recommend! Plus, doing so could save you some serious money too! We saved over half of what we would have paid to stay close to our cruise port by staying more inland and away from the busiest part of town. 
Winter Park has a serene and sophisticated atmosphere. It is the perfect place to recharge after a long day of traveling. I just know y’all will love it too!

☕️ Spilling the tea on this slice of Springfie ☕️ Spilling the tea on this slice of Springfield magic! ☕️ Take a stroll down the charming C Street, where history meets a modern vibe – cobblestone streets and cool shops. Right in the heart of it all is Ms. Gilmore’s Tea Room, ready to whisk you away on a flavor adventure! ☕🍃
C Street isn’t just a place, it’s a feeling. It’s like taking a step back in time while enjoying the present buzz. And guess what? That’s where you’ll find Ms. Gilmore’s Tea Room, this cozy spot that’s all about embracing both worlds.
As soon as you walk in, the place wraps you up in a comfy hug of vintage meets now. It’s like sipping tea in your grandma’s cozy parlor, but with a modern twist that feels just right.
Now, onto the good stuff – the food! There’s pastries, sandwiches, soups, and delicious treats! It’s a total taste bud tango. And tea? Oh boy, the tea! There’s a tea for every mood!
But it’s not just about the food (although that’s a big part of it). It’s about sharing stories with your pals, having heart-to-hearts with your fam, or simply savoring a moment of ‘you’ time. Best of all, it’s a budget friendly spot! You could grab a pot of tea and something sweet for less than ten bucks per person! 
So, if you’re a local wanting a breather or a visitor up for some Springfield surprises like we were, C Street and Ms. Gilmore’s Tea Room are waving hello. Take a stroll and soak up the vibes! ☕️🍰
