As parents of two under three (the youngest being seven months old) we don’t get out much as a couple so when I realised that the Ivy Brasserie in Cobham was opening on the weekend my parents were here I jumped at the chance to go on a date night with the husband.
Our family holiday at Sani Resort in Greece
We’ve just arrived home from a wonderful holiday at Sani Resort in Greece.
Everything about the holiday from start to finish was thought about and catered for.
Travelling with a baby and a toddler was one of my biggest worries, things like; whether we’d be OK in one room, if they’d eat OK, whether we’d be able to sterilise everything for Evie but I needn’t have worried as the hotel had everything on hand and went out of their way to find something if we needed it.
What the girls wore this week, holiday edition #2
Hello again and welcome back to our second holiday edition of ‘what the girls wore this week’.
This week we are going to be featuring all of our favourite day time and swimwear. I had the most fun shopping and choosing outfits for the girls for our holiday so enjoy!
Our Prezzo La Famiglia experience
We were invited to our local Prezzo recently to try the new La Famiglia dish as part of the #PrezzoLaFamiglia challenge.
The La Famiglia dish is a family sharing dish that’s put in the centre of the table for everyone to enjoy.
Here’s a little bit about our family of four dining experience.
Holidays pre-children vs. after children
Holidays with children have definitely changed a) how we holiday and b) what we do whilst we’re there.
Little Angels nappies review
We go through A LOT of nappies in this house. With a baby and a toddler both wearing them big factors for me when buying nappies are cost, comfort and probably the most important one – no leaks! A leak when you’re trying to get out and about with two (or one) is never ideal.
We were offered the chance to review ASDA’s Little Angels nappies recently and I was really keen to try them as we have previously tried their Peppa Pig Pants with Amelie and were really impressed.
Routine for toddlers and babies on holiday
One of the big questions I had before I went away with our toddler and baby was ‘how will we stick to their routine’?
The easy answer to that for us this year was ‘don’t’.
We have never been like this before. I am a lover of the routine for my girls, they’re happier as they know what’s coming next and I am too – I can plan the day accordingly and know when I can get things done. But last year on holiday with Amelie we were a slave to the routine and it just felt as though everyone else was having fun when we were racing back for a 7pm bedtime.
What the girls wore this week, holiday edition #1
Hello and welcome back to ‘what the girls wore this week’.
We’ve had a little break as we have been away on holiday in Greece but for the break in inspiration we now bring you two weeks of holiday outfits! (my favourite kind of shopping for the girls)!
First up this week is some of the girls evening outfits. They had some adorable dresses so do scroll through and have a look – they were perfect summer holiday pieces.
Next week we will be bringing you their daytime outfits and swimwear…
Making big life decisions
There are lots of big life decisions; marriage, buying a house, deciding to have children. It’s the latter that’s led me to my own very recent big life changing decision – to take a career break.
Packing list for a holiday with a toddler and a baby
We’ve just come back from a weeks holiday in Greece with our two year old and seven month old.
This was our first holiday abroad with a toddler and a baby and I made A LOT of lists of what to take with us which I thought I’d share as I seriously researched and asked other parents lots of questions!
I’ll also give my top tips on packing and then getting through the journey…
