So want to know how my first trip unfolded and my verdict on travelling with BRB? Keep reading!

As we draw closer to the end of 2019, I thought it would be fun to put together a blog highlights reel for Wander & Luxe. It has been a big year for me in terms of blogging.

I attended events, met wonderfully interesting people and started to work with brands that I really love. Wander & Luxe is still very much in its infancy but I am dreaming big … because that’s who I am. So here’s to celebrating the year that was and making 2020 a stellar year!

Let’s talk morning sickness. Whilst it is all for a good cause, it is pretty hard to stomach for many pregnant woman. For the extra lucky ones, you will not only suffer morning sickness but all day sickness (its me, I’m lucky). Its best compared to an all day hangover, without any of the fun antics from the night before. You will be nauseous but not necessarily throw up. You are hungry yet cannot stomach anything. And all you want to do is TAKE. A. NAP. Sound familiar? Never fear, there are lots of morning sickness remedies which can help you to feel a lot better. These treatments will alleviate the morning sickness symptoms which in turn will help to masque your early pregnancy from your friends, family and work colleagues. And if all else fails, just complain loudly at the person who got you into this situation.
Why You Should Travel with Kids
I’m a strong believer that is is important to travel with kids. Why, I hear you ask? With all the extra organisation, costs, luggage and restrictions associated with travelling with your kids, surely its easier to stay at home? Well, some of my favorite memories as a mother have been my daughter’s first birthday in Budapest or our family holiday to St Maarten in the Caribbean. Personally I think it is important to travel to experience a different way of life and to open up your children’s minds to new things. Escape the daily routine, forget about the chores and learn to appreciate what you have at home. It also plays a part in character building, establishing resilience and being confident in new environments. Not to mention the precious time together as a family creating memories.
Travel does not have to mean a trip to a far flung exotic destination or staying at a luxe resort. It might mean camping an hour from home, visiting family, your annual trip to a holiday home or even a day trip to a big city. Recently, I took the opportunity to speak with 6 fellow family travel bloggers about what family travel means to them and why they think it is important to travel with kids.
