It was an easy decision not to fly anywhere this summer but that’s not to stay I didn’t feel gutted by it. The lockdown and losing our freedom to travel, or to even leave the house, felt difficult although of course it was necessary. By July the restrictions in the UK were somewhat eased and Read More

First child-free holiday in almost two years!
We did it – eek!! We went away just the two of us (plus about twenty of our friends) to Ibiza for four days to celebrate our friends marriage. Maia is 18-months old now and we have never left her before to go away, one of us has always stayed with her if the other Read More
Two days until our wedding – eek!!
And suddenly we have only two days to go before our wedding day! 😃 I’m so excited but also getting nervous now. What’s the weather going to be like (rainy/too hot/just perfect)? How will our baby behave? Will people have a good time? Will I wake up on the wedding day with a giant spot Read More
Flying alone when pregnant – don’t do it!
Before I go on, let me just start by saying I would not have skipped my trip to Finland for anything – I had an amazing time with my family and friends and truly enjoyed the Helsinki summer <3 That being said, travelling solo when 22 weeks pregnant was not fun. I’m a frequent traveller Read More
Starting a family abroad – when my home is not my child’s home

Mini-babymoon in Rome
One of my dreams came true last weekend when we took advantage of the UK bank holiday to spend a long weekend in Rome! We visited Italy twice last year, Sardinia and Venice, and I was eager to explore more of the country I fell in love with. I was really looking forward to not Read More
NYC – Change of scenery
Holidays are generally great. But if there is anything that can make a holiday slightly less great, it’s work. Unfortunately our trip to our friends’ wedding in New York came at a very bad time work-wise for both of us… But despite being pretty stressed, tired and distracted, we did enjoy our city break! Change Read More
Oommm – taking a break
It’s the last day of the year and I’m curled up in the corner of our sofa, cosy with candles and all, having a moment of reflection over the past two weeks. My partner summed it up well saying: “it’s nice to have my bubbly and smiley girl back”. It was a good break. The Read More
