When we made the decision to take our then 16-month old toddler on holiday to Florida this year, I think a lot of people thought we were just straight-up crazy. It's often said, after all, that while you can never be too old for Disney, you CAN be too young, ...
I've already written about our first flight with Max: a five hour jaunt to Tenerife, when he was 11 months old, and we were still filled with hope that flying with a baby might be easier than people like to make out. Well, spoiler alert: NO, IT WASN'T. Flying with a ...
If there's one type of Instagram Story that's guaranteed to get more comments and questions than all of the others put together for me, that story would be anything involving packing cubes. Now, I suppose I probably should be feeling a little bit worried that the most interesting thing about me ...
This post is coming quite a long time after our holiday to Tenerife in December last year, so apologies for that, first of all. (And no, I have no idea what I'm apologising for, really, other: I mean, it's not like there was a line of people all beating a path ...
I guess the photo at the top of the page says it all, really: smiling through gritted teeth, while a small person flails around on your lap for hours. In a tin can in the sky. With no legroom. And someone in the window seat who wants to use the ...
I always think you can tell a lot about someone's beauty-product preferences by taking a look at their travel makeup bag. I mean, if you're going to haul a particular product halfway around the world, after all, you must REALLY like it, right? It must be a true, "can't live ...
So, now that we have our first long trip (plus several shorter ones) with Max under our belts, I'm obviously a complete expert on travel with a baby now, and am here today to allow you all to benefit from my newfound wisdom. Ahem. OK, OK, I jest: I'm obviously still very, ...
So, needless to say, I have absolutely no need of a travel packing list right now. I do, however, keep one handy at all times, using the 'Reminders' app on my iPhone to create a rolling travel packing list that I can consult any time I need to - you know, ...
Well, my new suitcase arrived last week, so it'll come as no surprise that I've been spending a lot of time thinking about what to put in it. Every trip is different, obviously, and they all come with different packing requirements. There are some items, however, that I never fail to ...
I feel like packing a suitcase is a very under-rated skill. To know how to pack a suitcase, for instance, you have to have a mind analytical enough to be able to look at your wardrobe - like, ALL of it - and instinctively know which of those hundreds of ...
I'm a nervous flyer. Nervous as in, "there have been times when I thought they were literally going to have to sedate me during turbulence." Nervous as in, "for several weeks before each flight I will jolt awake at night with my heart pounding in terror at the thought of getting on ...
I'm a little bit obsessed with travel clothes. Honestly, I probably spend more time working out what to wear to the airport than I spend working out what to pack, and Victoria Beckham? If you're reading this? It's YOUR FAULT. Yes, you, with your long legs and your immaculate airport outfits, ...
Last week I showed you what's inside my travel makeup bag, so this week I thought I'd show you what's inside my carry on bag. Don't worry, I'm not going to show you what's inside my suitcase: that post would be too long even by MY standards. (If you really want ...
It's kinda ironic that I'm writing a post attempting to give advice on what to pack for anything, really. because anyone who's ever travelled with me will know that my own packing list would say something like, "PACK ALL THE THINGS. HOPE FOR THE BEST." I don't exactly travel light, is what ...
