Christmas is just around the corner and I have been thinking so differently about gifts this year. I am sorry to say the piles of toys posted all over Facebook is less than appealing for number of reasons. Most toys get disgarded to the corner of the room after a few times of being used, [...]
Going as plastic free as possible has been on my mind for a while. I’ve been making conscious changes since meeting one of my best friends Cindy in New Zealand. Being a true ocean lover, dive master, yogi and general lover of nature, she has been spreading the word for years. A long time before [...]
Every parents dreaded nightmare about going on holiday is getting there. The packing, organising and getting through the airport can be stressful at the best of times. I don't know about you, but even as a seasoned traveller, I still feel flustered since having children when going through the airport. They take so much extra [...]
Summer haul ~ If you have been reading my content for a while, you will know we are minimalists when it comes to belongings. For the last year we've been travelling with our two kids extensively across five continents. It's been really hard juggling clothes and re-wearing everything over and over again. Likewise, so [...]
Baby Jogger reached out recently asking us to take their City Tour Lux on some of our day to day adventures. As it stands, we always bring one stroller and two carriers when travelling with our two little ones. It all depends on what we are doing! Our nearly four year old hasn't mastered walking long distances! [...]

Whilst Im not complaining about that in itself, I am a worry wart when it comes to the [...]
One of parents’ primary concerns when taking young children abroad is ensuring that we have the best suncream protection possible. Even if its just a trip to the beach on a hot summers day in Britain! As a nurse, I am very aware of the risks of too much sun exposure, and we are always [...]
I’ve made myself a big promise since coming home from our travels. I bought a car when I was pregnant with Esme, and fell into the habit of driving everywhere ever since! I could not be bothered with public transport when I was pregnant, especially in London. I still think we are going to need [...]
My number one panic on holiday has to be my baby or toddler getting overheated. Will they get sun stroke? Or sun burnt? Will they get dehydrated? Maybe they will shrivel up into a dried prune? "OMG, look there is a bit of sun on her head! Quick, quick get in the shade". My husband [...]
I am one of those people that get nailed by mosquitos! I find it incredible that I can be in the same area as my husband and kids, but still be the only one that gets bitten. Mosquito repellent is something that i can not afford to forget, especially as I have had bites that [...]
