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 ...

The art of surprise….(or lack of)

The art of surprise….(or lack of)

Those following my Instagram feed may have noticed that Mr B and I have recently returned from a few days away in Rome. This was a particularly special trip as Mr B turned the grand old age of 40.

Anthem Of The Seas: The Perfect Family Holiday

Anyone following my Instagram or twitter feeds last weekend will have noticed many excitable posts from myself.  The reason for this was that on Saturday 18th April Mr B and I were invited onboard Royal Caribbean's brand new Quantum Class ship, Anthem Of The Seas, for a two night voyage. There is just so much to tell you that it may require another post, but I will try to share with you all of the best bits we discovered whilst onboard, and show you why this really could make the PERFECT family holiday.   We, like many others, have often wondered if a cruise is really an ...

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?
