In early 2020 the Vargas family decided to make this year, the most exciting year yet. They referred to it as a "once in a lifetime travel year." 

They had big and small trips planned, fun experiences for each kid on the calendar, and the count down was on. 

Then, in what felt like a blink of an eye, their year was canceled. 

In today's episode, Kim shares how they have turned 2020 around and made it a year full of memories and adventure for their family in the midst of chaos. 

Share this episode with a family that feels like their 2020 plan is not going so perfectly.
