Top Tips for Taking The Stress Out of Family Travel

Top Tips for Taking The Stress Out of Family Travel

  As a family of four we are gradually learning that the small things can make a big difference to our family holiday, in particular the journey.  Having just survived a relatively stress free trip to Italy we have put together a list of our top tips. This is an annual excursion for us and has not always been stress free.  I guess practice does make perfect but here are a few ideas to help get you to your destination without losing a child and hopefully still talking to each other. Consider your flight times.  If you can be a little bit flexible with the date and ...

Take the Stress OUT of Travelling With Kids

Take the Stress OUT of Travelling With Kids

With the school summer holidays underway many of us will be looking forward to their family holiday abroad.  Whilst the kids happily count off the number of sleeps until they board the plane some parents, like me, may be developing amongst all the usual feelings of excitement a minor undercurrent of dread. UTTER DREAD. At the thought of how we are ACTUALLY going to get there... happily... ...with all of us still alive/speaking to each other/unharmed at our destination of choice. Those of you who read this post will understand exactly where I am coming from. Well, I am ...

Relax dude, we’re on holiday…

Relax dude, we’re on holiday…

  Having embarked upon our last trip of the year Mr B and I were very much hoping for a couple of days of relaxation. We have deserted our Devon homeland in favour of his Brother’s Tuscan retreat to drink nice wine, soak up some sun and gorge ourselves on Italian deliciousness. What could be more relaxing? Oh yeah, that’s right. We’re travelling with the smalls. Two super tired kids who have steadfastly refused to either sleep or eat since we upped sticks 36 hours ago do not a relaxing holiday make. We had hoped our stay in an airport hotel the night before may improve their ...

Mummy Wants To Be A #MarkWarnerMum

Mummy Wants To Be A #MarkWarnerMum

Shhhhh! It is me, W.  Don't tell Mummy but I have taken over her blog.  She hopes thinks I'm asleep but I just had to tell you guys something. You see Mummy says she wants to be a Mark Warner Mum and I think she is going to need our help. Mark Warner are currently looking for five Mums or Dads to represent them next year and Mummy keeps saying how wonderful this would be.  It means that we would get to spend some family time together in the sun, or even learning to ski!  How exciting would that be? Daddy and I have a lot of fun together at home... ...and even when we are ...

Saturday is Caption Day: 19/05/12

So, earlier in the week Mr B and I went to visit the Grandparents down in Cornwall and, like all good British holiday-makers do, we ignored the FREEZING cold weather and constant rain and went to the beach! Look... You know what to do! Bring on the funny and then head on over to Her Magnificence Mammasaurus to check out the rest. Due to poor old W not really being the most sensibly dressed given the weather, and our determination to keep going, I am also linking this pic up with this weeks Pretty Little Things linky appropriately entitled "Come Rain or Shine!" To check out the ...

Are we nearly there yet?

Are we nearly there yet?

With the summer holidays approaching many of us may have already begun to count down the weeks, or even days, until we can pack our bags, lock the doors and head off for a week or two of fun in the sun. For many of us parents though our excitement may be tempered slightly by the thought of flying with our children.  Let's face it, flying is boring enough as an adult but for little ones it is no wonder that they may get frustrated with limited chance to move about, and very little to do for often hours on end. So, here are a few tips to try and and keep your journey as trouble and tantrum ...

Welcome!

Jbmumofone is written by me, jbmumofone, and this blog is my baby. Although clearly I didn’t think this name through because I’m now a mum of two actual babies.

I blog because I love to write, and for sanity’s sake, and have been blogging since August 2011. So why not dig on in and explore?
