Wallace family at Chichen Itza, Mexico

Exploring Mérida, Mexico with Kids

Adventures await with our family! We took our kids on a two-month trip to Mérida, Mexico, to explore Mayan ruins and swim in cenotes. We practiced speaking basic Spanish, tried lots of Yucatan foods, and experienced a little of the local culture. Last but not least, I arrived in Mexico 36 weeks pregnant and planned to have our baby girl in Merida. I’m excited to share how we travel with kids, and our favorite destinations near Merida. ★ Read More »

My 2-year-old was convinced she could order jewels My 2-year-old was convinced she could order jewels off the menu at our favorite little café. 💎 So we finally let her “order” a tiny heart necklace, waiting at the table. Her face said everything. 🥹

These little surprises are the ones kids remember. Tag someone who’d do this for their child 👇

We were so blessed by our experience having baby # We were so blessed by our experience having baby # 5 here in Mexico. 🇲🇽 

It was our second time delivering in Mérida, but with completely new dynamics. We had 4 kids at home, no family living nearby, and I hoped for a natural birth.

As it got closer, I realized the best choice this round was a scheduled C-section, and God provided so graciously. 

Our teenager watched her siblings while Lucy was born, then switched places with my husband and stayed with me in the hospital for two days (more on that later 🩵).

Everything went so smoothly, and we’re very grateful to welcome baby Lucy.

Have you seen God provide abundantly for you when you had a baby? 😊👇

Birth abroad 🇲🇽 I scheduled my C-section in Mérida Birth abroad 🇲🇽 I scheduled my C-section in Mérida, Mexico. Total cost: $4,000

In the US, the average runs closer to $20,000. And it wasn’t basic. We chose a private hospital and our OB. The package included a private room, a 48-hour stay with meals, and regular check-ins from the nurses, our OB, and the pediatrician.

Sound intriguing? Ask us anything 👶
Did we mention our baby has dual citizenship? 🇲🇽🇺🇸

Would you ever have a baby abroad? 👇

Día de Muertos in Mérida 🧡 As a Christian family, Día de Muertos in Mérida 🧡 As a Christian family, we enjoyed experiencing this celebration in its home country. Learning its history, soaking up the creativity & community, and feeling thankful. 

🌟 We thank God for life and His sovereignty over death, and we’re reminded of our hope in Jesus. Death isn’t the end — it’s the beginning.

🇲🇽 Grateful to live somewhere that remembers the life of loved ones so beautifully, and to learn about traditions, while rooted in what we believe.
