Hello! It’s been a week since I last posted anything and I feel absolutely rotten about it. Though not much could be done seeing as both Georgie and I were tormented by headaches and fevers, hit by a two-day superbug rendering us helpless over the long weekend. I swear, every two to three weeks someone in this family is sick. Please let this be the last of it.

1. This is adorable. If you are a Star Wars fan, you’ll appreciate this 7-year old’s joy.
2. Can you influence a baby’s gender?
3. Dreaming of summer and all the fun we’ll have especially with these 33 inexpensive activities for kids.
4. Wardrobe staples by Emily of the blog, Cupcakes and Cashmere. Every time I read one of these posts I want to throw away everything in my wardrobe and set myself free!!!
Anytime we’re in line at the supermarket and I see a lollipop stand within kids’ reach, I see red. It annoys me, to say the least because no matter how hard we, as parents, try to spare our kids teeth from all sorts of artificial sweeteners that only wreak havoc, we are surrounded by unhealthy treat options all day, every day. I’ve learnt my lesson though and now I always stock my handbag with a few healthier options like these organic lollipops.
This was the part that made me nervous. A part of our trip I felt I should be fully prepared for. Or else. Five hours in an aeroplane with a four-year old could have been chaotic but luckily all the tips and advice I read up on before our holiday worked like a charm. While kids cannot be expected to sit still or sleep on demand, there are ways to keep them entertained and preoccupied and most importantly, somewhat quiet. Here are my favourite tips for flying with young ones:
Over the Easter holidays, we took our first family trip abroad. We flew to London for a few days and then made our way up North where my brother lives and spent a lovely albeit freezing day in Liverpool. London on the other hand was in full spring swing and nothing is more gorgeous than London in spring. Traveling for the first time with Georgie was an interesting and unforgettable experience that makes me want more! However I have a feeling Georgie will be disappointed if we don’t make it back to London soon; ask him where he lives and he’ll say ‘London!’
