How to stay comfortable on an airplane

After just having flown on three different planes in five days and travelling my whole life, I am no stranger to the uncomfortable plane ride, but here are my top 4 hacks/tips to make travelling on a plane easier.

1.)  Bring snacks and water. you can fill up your water bottle after security, and you can buy chips and other amazing snacks via duty-free. This saves on having to drink coffee and tea in the air, which uses disgusting water and having to shell out money on food up in the air that isn't that great of quality; it is also very easy to get dehydrated when flying.

2.)  Have something to do. I know it seems pretty obvious, but a good book, downloaded episodes or movies on Netflix, music, that kind of stuff can really make the time go faster and make it less obvious that you are bored and having to be stuck in a plane for however long.

3.) Layers. now it is not rocket science to know that being in a plane flying from one place to another is going to be a bit chilly, so having a jacket or scarf to wear can be a fantastic idea, and if you get too hot, you can always take it off and use it as a pillow or blanket instead

4.) Get a window seat. I know sometimes you are not always in control of the situation but if you get a window seat if possible. taking photos of take-off and landing is always fun and makes some amazing Instagram posts. You also can control the window and if it is up or down and you will get less disturbed because fellow passengers won't have to wake you if they need to get up to go toilet or get something out of their bag.

Moving to a new country | with kids

Moving to a new country can be exciting but nerve wracking add in children and it can feel overwhelming to say the least, today I want to share all the advice and tips I have to move overseas after having just made an overseas move for myself with my two young daughters.   Mid January I moved from New Zealand back to Australia, some of you may know that I was actually born in Australia and lived over here until 2011 so for me this was about returning home but for my kids it was moving countries for the first time and while my youngest had no idea what was going on as she was only 3 months old my eldest had a range of emotions and it was honestly quite tough on her at times.   My first bit of advice is to just talk about the move, explain why you’re moving and what to expect in an age-appropriate way so that they can better understand what is going on, talk about all the positives with the move    that would interest them from new experiences to making new friend...

How I hid my pregnancy

  It is no secret now that I spent most of 2024 pregnant and I managed to hide it for basically my whole pregnancy without anyone finding out minus who I personally decided to tell.  I decided to share my tips on how I hid my pregnancy to help others for whatever reason they decide to not share the big news these can help no matter how long you decide you want to hide it for.  Clothing and appearance I opted for loose, flowing clothing like oversized tops and jumpers and towards the end whenever I had people coming over to my house (I rarely left home other than appointments or shopping anyway) I would wear my oodie.  Behaviour I made sure I had plausible reasons ready for changes in my diet, avoiding alcohol, or even when I was feeling sick with morning sickness (e.g., diet change, medication, or a temporary health issue). Situational adjustments I tried to avoid situations where my body might be closely scrutinized. I also reduced social engagements where people mi...

Typical day in the life as a single mum of 2

Being a single mum of two has really changed my perspective on a lot of things. I had been a single mother with my eldest for years before my 2nd was born and honestly I found that so much easier at times compared to two kids but I wouldn’t change it for the world.   I thought I would jump on here and walk you through a typical day in the life with two kids    on my own, this does vary day by day but I just wanted to do a general day.  I typically wake up before both girls to get myself a coffee and put some of the boiled water to the side to start cooling for my youngest infant gaviscon because she has pretty bad reflux and since the doctor put her on it she has gotten so much better.  By the time I have had my coffee my eldest is awake so I make her breakfast and get her to take off her nappy so she can use the potty through the day. I fill up her water bottle and get started on making up the gaviscon as my youngest is starting to wake up, she has it and a nap...
