Thanks to everyone who's taking their time to read this little blog, I really appreciate it!
Tomorrow is the first day of our first family holiday! A week in an apartment in the beautiful Peak District awaits and so this week has been about getting everything ready!
It always amazes me how much I need to think about and get ready for a holiday (washing, shopping for essentials, cleaning so I have a clean and tidy home to return to) but with our new little travelling companion, it's like the preparation stage is on steroids!
I have always been adament that I wouldn't be a parent who got all the latest stuff for her baby, after all babies have been brought up for generations without the plethora of stuff nd gadgetary available, but it seems that babies need a LOT of stuff. Stuff that is important. Stuff that I need to remember. Stuff that I need to get in the car along with my stuff (I don't travel light), J's stuff (7 pairs of pants and a toothbrush :-) ) and our food for the week (self catering ). I have found a new level of respect for travelling parents and their exemplary packing and planning skills.
So whilst I wait for the final load of holiday washing to finish, I am going over and over my packing list, hoping that I don't forget that one essential item. Inevitably I probably will :-) but hey who cares. I'm on holiday!
