I'm a single mom to a toddler and only book luxury resorts for us. It allows me to also enjoy our vacation.

• The first time I traveled with my daughter, I chose a family-friendly resort and didn't like it.
• Now, I take my 16-month-old to luxury resorts where we can both enjoy ourselves.
• I was worried I'd stop traveling once she was born but I realized that doesn't have to be the case.

Since I became a mother, my Instagram has been filled with ads for family-friendly hotels and vacations.
