FoodFamilyTravel - Ibiza
November 7, 2025
In her second travel piece for FoodFamilyTravel.com, Katherine Rose Woller takes us along her four-day escape to Barcelona and Ibiza that wasn't anything like the party scene stereotype. This trip was more about partner reconnection, fine food, and meaningful moments.
After leaving their toddler behind to travel abroad as partners, this husband and wife duo discover Ibiza's quieter side: a romantic old-town stay in Dalt Vila at Montesol Experimental, sunset dinners on historic terraces, and magical meals anchored by exquisite seafood and rare Jura wine.
In Barcelona, a spontaneous bar-seat dinner at Denassus sets the tone for the trip: genuine service, vibrant flavors, and a reminder that “shared meals often matter more than monuments.”
Travel can indeed be restorative. Re-aligning the roles of parent and partner and returning home “a little fuller, a little more joyful, and a little more yourself.”
More Trip Highlights: Can Domingo, Ushuaia, Villa Blue Star, Casa Jondal, La Bodega, and Amorino gelato

Is the Euro Mom trend attainable or an illusion?
To FoodFamilyTravel.com contributor Katherine Rose Woller, it comes down to keeping what serves you as a parent and letting go of the hype. Beyond chic and effortless aesthetics, there is a confidence parents seem to have in Europe. But that that comes from experience rather than the stylish outfits that you pack.
Euro moms may seem to have it all figured out, but American's traveling abroad may struggle with the reality beyond the obvious language barriers, different modes of transportation, and time zone changes. There is the battle of nostalgia when revisiting beloved destinations like Chamonix with a toddler. “Parenting doesn’t take a vacation—even on a family trip to France. But it can transform you in ways you don’t expect.”
Katherine explains how she had imagined the trip would go vs. the reality that got lost in translation upon arrival. Part of that comes from managing expectations and letting go of the fantasy: “I started to notice the slower, simpler pace, and relaxed my American go-go-go standards—even flexing my daughter’s typically rigid nap schedule.”
For every unforgiving waiter that perfectly fit stereotypes, there were knowing glances of recognition from flustered French moms in the thick of their own toddler's tantrums. Katherine yearned to magically have a cool French confidence and ease while still grappling with self-doubt. Maybe it wasn't Euro Mom effortless, but over the course of three weeks she did find joy, contentment, and her new rhythm along the way.

June 10, 2025
The Mother Chapter is a community dedicated to helping moms navigate, cope, connect, share and thrive in their postpartum identity. Here are some selected quotes, but please check out the full article!
"The strength it took to walk away from that first engagement is the same strength I now bring to motherhood, every single day. I refuse to accept others’ “must-dos” or arbitrary timelines. No more trying to impress or shrinking to fit in for the sake of expectations. Just the courage to stand by my decisions and unapologetically be the mom I want to be."
"For years, I chased some imagined ideal and tried to be the perfect daughter, woman, and partner. But perfection is a myth, and pursuing it only kept me small. To walk away from my engagement, I had to embrace all of my flaws.
Now, motherhood demands that I let the cracks show. That I model resilience, not flawlessness. So I continue the daily practice of softening, of showing up as I am. I may not be perfect, but I’m present. And that is more than enough."
"Now, when I show up for my daughter, with all my imperfections and absolutely all my love, I know exactly where my strength comes from. I trust myself. And that trust is the legacy I’m passing on."
