Traveller by PHIL & TEDS

Well wow , this product HAS to get a big fat 10/10 from me. I’ve never needed a travel cot as we usually stay in hotels with cots but my recent trip to Dubai I stayed at my friends house so a travel cot was needed. 

I knew I just wanted a compact & light cot. No one wants to drag a heavy & bulky cot half way across the world. 

On doing a bit of research the one that stood out was the PHIL & TEDS TRAVELLER and it did not disappoint

• LIGHT!!! I was literally shocked at how light the whole thing was. 6LBS!!!!! That includes the bag, cot, mattress & fitted sheet. So good.
• Easy. So quick to assemble & take down so can quickly pack up and move it around 
• Mesh. Cool and free flowing air for warmer countries
• Zip down side. Perfect to use as a play pen

100% recommend this traveller and at £139 it’s super reasonable!!

Travelling with baby

So the first thing I want to say is DO IT!!! Travelling with Tayo was the best experience ever. Taking your little one around the world to see new places is both memorable and rewarding. We have just got back from a 10 day stint of travelling and when I say that , I don’t mean a 10 holiday. In those 10 days we took 5 flights in total , adding up to a massive 22 hours of flying in total. Whaaaattttt?!!! Lol. We started off flying out to NYC to surprise my best friend for her baby shower, she had never met Tayo so I thought it was a great time for that to happen. From there , we followed my husband to Milan as he booked a shoot there for one day. While at the airport he then got another message saying he was to fly to Barcelona straight after work then connect the following day to A Coruna for 4 more days of work. Since we caught the travel bug , Tayo and I decided to tag along lol. Finally on Friday we flew back to London. 

Now I don’t know if we were just blessed with a really good baby, but he slept every flight and only really cried once on our flight back to London!!! So, I hear you asking. What’s the trick ? I have a few tips that I seriously recommend you follow !!

Prenatal Yoga

In a previous blog post I spoke about starting a prenatal yoga class to help control my hormones & emotions and of course get physically prepared for birth (still can't believe I'm actually going to have to do that part yet lol).

Well, today was the day. Firstly, I'm so last minute its actually annoying. I didn't even think about finding any clothes that would still be comfortable with my ever growing belly. So at 9.30am I was literally emptying my entire wardrobe to find anything appropriate, which ended up making me run late. To anyone that knows me, that won't be a huge surprise but rushing around while being pregnant is really not that easy, I don't advise it. 

Note to self - leave 15 minutes earlier than I need to 

Yummy Mummy Brunch

Im forever making plans with friends when they come into town, and now I've stopped working its nice to meet up with them outside the house. Perfect excuse for a good brunch. Friends that hang out over food are always my favourite lol

So naturally I started hunting for a good healthy brunch spot near enough to my flat so I don't have to get on the tube. I came across Farmacy in Nottinghill by pure chance a while back while walking around with my husband but we never went in. So when my super healthy Australian friend came into town and suggested it I was completely down

Breakfast Of Champions

Its no lie that breakfast is the most import meal of the day. So when pregnant this couldn't get anymore real.

Balance is key. I don't follow any special diets nor am I vegetarian or vegan, but I do love nutrient packed meals, and I'm trying to focus on this even more so now that I'm growing a whole human.
This is my favourite breakfast at the moment and this usually follows my early morning cereal and fruit. Yes , that's right. Two breakfasts. My appetite in the morning is peak.
