Whats in my hospital bags

With just over a month until baby girl is due, I had to finally finish packing the hospital bags for if she comes early or even if she doesn't so that I don't have to worry about anything. I had been slowly packing them for a while but hadn't actually finished them. I did film a video about what was in the hospital bags if you want to watch it:

I have no idea how much of this I will use. However, I am having to birth at the hospital instead of the birthing unit, so we will still be close to home, meaning if I have to spend more time in the hospital, I can get my partner to come home and grab me some more clothing or whatever I need especially since he will be having to come home to feed our cat anyway. I did pack for three days just to be on the safe side of things. I also don't know what the hospital will provide because we live in New Zealand and most information on the internet is for overseas.

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...
