This is probably the most common question I googled prior to our family holiday this year; ‘What can I expect when flying with a baby?’ I had no idea. I didn’t know if it would be a hassle manoeuvring my way through the airport, I didn’t know if the baby would sleep or scream, I didn’t know how the other passengers would react and so on.

Ways to prepare for your baby’s arrival
Preparing for your new arrival can feel incredibly daunting (and expensive!) – especially if it is your first baby. The main thing is to not panic or stress yourself out. To help you prepare for your baby’s arrival, it is worth getting everything in check over the course of 9 months to help ease the transition into ‘Mum mode’, giving you more time at the end of your pregnancy to put your feet up.

Top Tips For Keeping Your Luggage Weight Down When Travelling With Children
So, we made it to our destination but it wasn’t without a little trouble with our luggage at check-in. We knew we were going to be over, it was inevitable in our eyes. I mean, we have 2 children, 1 being a baby and we were coming away for 2 weeks. We had only been allocated 15 kg per person and I know what I’m like for overpreparing and packing for every possible scenario. I just can’t help myself, Continue reading “Top Tips For Keeping Your Luggage Weight Down When Travelling With Children”
Flying with a Baby Checklist
We are about to embark on our very first holiday abroad with a baby. We first took Jake aged 2 and even though he was still in nappies, he had far fewer needs. As long as he had toys, games and stickers he was a happy boy! So, this year he is 4 and the tablet is probably going to be played the entire time (if he has his way!) but William is just 5 months which has made me feel a little more anxious. But to combat this I have done my research and this is my flying with a baby checklist: Continue reading “Flying with a Baby Checklist”

Creating Your New Summer Look for Less
The summer will soon be here (we hope!) and what’s better than celebrating a new season with a new look? I must admit, I am awful for spending all my money on the children and they are often better dressed than me so this year I want to find what really suits me, I want to brighten up my wardrobe and I want to create a summery look and feel without spending a fortune. Continue reading “Creating Your New Summer Look for Less”
My Picture Photobook Review and Giveaway
Our journey with William has been an interesting one, to say the least. Born at just 32 weeks, weighing 4lb 2oz and having to spend the first few weeks of his life in NICU was emotional, overwhelming and a huge learning curve. When he was allowed home it was the most amazing moment for all of us as a family, especially as it was just before Christmas and Jake’s birthday. However, I really don’t want to look back at his journey with sadness, instead, I want to celebrate how far he’s come and how lucky we are to have him here home with us. I love photos and was originally thinking about creating an album but when My-picture.co.uk asked me to review one of their photobooks it couldn’t have come at a better time!
