When I first had baby Isla all of the other mums were telling me that I must take her to Baby Sensory. ‘It is so great for their development’ it was told. They were right, it was pretty good. But it wasn’t as good as travelling, not even close. Travelling is way better at stimulating […]
When I was given the opportunity to present my mother-in-law along for a helping hand and we went off on our adventure to Kathmandu with a baby! As always, I was met with the usual cynics prior to my trip. ‘the roads are too uneven for a buggy’, ‘there’s too much pollution’, ‘the food might […]
I’d heard great things about Odds Farm so I thought where better to take baby Isla for her first birthday! We went in March so there were lots of baby animals there but much of the entertainment available in the summer wasn’t yet open (I’ve heard they have their own beach!). Odds Farm is located […]
Packed full of history, Kathmandu is a noisy, vibrant capital city, gateway to the Himalayas and the rest of Nepal. Young people from the country come here to study, to earn a better living and to own a piece of its future.Heavy traffic all day; cars, buses, vans, motorbikes and bicycles vie for space on the […]
I normally pack light, but as soon as we were travelling with a baby on-board that changed…drastically! I wish I took a photograph of all of my luggage on that first trip abroad, it was that hilarious! Whilst there is no doubt that you do need a few more things when travelling with a baby […]
I love travelling, always have and always will but lets face it, some things have to change when the pitter-patter of tiny feet come along! For me, one of the major changes that I’ve made to my trips is which accommodation I choose. For me, it really hit home when we visited Costa Rica and […]
Seeing new places is always bewitching. Most people travel to get new cultural experience, to visit the places, which they admire, and simply to have a rest from their everyday activities and work. The goals of traveling with kids are much more significant. You can show your children the wonders of the world and take […]
When I was planning our first adventure as a threesome I was nervous about where might or might not be appropriate to take a four-month-old baby. Is it too hot? Too cold? Too many mosquitos? Is it a Malaria area? What is the hygiene like? The list of concerns seemed never-ending! Eventually we decided on […]
Ironically I am scheduling this maternity cover post as my husband is on a flight to the states for a skiing trip! I don’t have much experience skiing, but I know he would LOVE for our children to become skiing experts at a young age like the children described in this post by Carol and […]
This week I bring to you my favourite guest post from my maternity-cover series, written by Melissa from Thrifty Family Travels. There is so much to worry about when choosing a destination to travel to with children (believe me, she’s only a few weeks old and I’ve already done my fair share!). Are there diseases? Babysitters?
