5 Best newborn products

 Newborns don't actually need a lot of things, surprising. This is a list of my favourite newborn products that I'm glad I got for my baby.

I'm not going to go into essentials like clothing or anything like a pram etc. those are things that are needed no matter what.

  • Large diaper bag: I love having a large diaper bag because it means I have more space to put things in, and I can keep a spare top for myself to change into if I need.

  • Co-sleeper (next to the bed): I got a cosleeper instead of a coat or bassinet. (it does double as a bassinet, though) and I found it so handy. It has a storage shelf down the bottom which I loved because I could keep everything I needed through the night right there, and I didn't have to get up.

  • Diaper caddy: This was a live saver. In the mornings instead of taking five trips into the bedroom to move us into the living room I could easy put everything I need for the day in the diaper caddy and then take it into the living room while carrying baby. Same at night time when it was time for bed.
  • Baby swing: My partner goes away to work, and I found having the baby swing so handy to have in the kitchen with me while I cleaned the dishes; she was right there behind me so I could keep an eye on her and not have to worry but also got what I needed to be done. Also great for going toilet or having a shower.

  • Baby carriers (wrap and carrier): I loved having both. Sometimes I was way too lazy to wrap the baby wrap around me, or it wasn't practical for what we were doing, which is where the baby carrier came in handy, especially because I hated lugging the pram around all the time.
There is probably more that I love that I have missed, but baby brain is horrible.

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...
