Thinking about moving abroad with your kids, but have no idea where to start?
Start here.
I created this checklist after going through the research, planning, paperwork, financial preparation, and logistics of moving to Spain with my own two daughters.
Because when you’re responsible for an entire family, the hardest part isn’t always doing the work.
It’s knowing what needs to be done, and when.
This free checklist breaks your relocation into simple, manageable phases so you can stop feeling overwhelmed and start making a real plan.
Choosing the right country & city
Visa pathways & important documents

Plus practical Mom Tips based on what I’ve learned through my own family’s relocation.
I know how overwhelming it is to look at a life-changing move and wonder:
“Where do I even begin?”
You don’t need to figure everything out today.
You just need to know your next step.
Download the checklist, save it to your phone, print it out, and start checking things off one phase at a time.
And when you’re ready for the complete step-by-step plan, the full Moving Abroad With Kids Blueprint takes you much deeper into the visa process, finances, schools, housing, city selection, preparation, and your first 90 days in Spain.
