    This post has come in handy! I’ve always wanted to visit New York. However being from the U.K to get to New York alone the flights can be so expensive. That’s without the expenses when you arrive there. Glad to know it can be done on a budget. I best start saving now!

    Lovely post! These recommendations are so spot on. Kudos to you for knowing about Alligator Lounge’s free pizza! 😉 Just wanted to give a heads up for anyone traveling to NY that’s looking for a deal on rides. I was complaining about how much money I’ve been spending on Uber’s and a friend recommended saferides.org; it’s a non-profit and very affordable. You can book rides in advance and great for large groups. Just in case anyone else is tired of draining their funds with ride-sharing apps.

THIS is my travel sidekick I cannot fly without 👇

Did you know that 1 in 4 flights are delayed or canceled? It’s enough to make you go mad… unless of course you have @airhelp!

AirHelp is a flight & claim tracker app that is a complete lifesaver on travel days helping me...

✔️ Track unlimited flights (no ads, no limits)
✔️ Get real-time updates for gates, terminals, and baggage claim details
✔️ Receive automatic alerts if I’m eligible for flight compensation
✔️ See my travel history log with a built-in travel map (my favorite part)

Honestly, I wish I had this app sooner! It would’ve been a game-changer on long-haul flights with my toddler. Whether you’re a frequent flyer or just planning your next adventure, this is one of the smartest tools you can have on your phone.

Download the @airhelp app today and fly with peace of mind.

This might be the last car seat you’ll ever need 👇

We’ve trusted @cybex_usa since Ollie was a newborn. Through flights, road trips, and every adventure in between, @cybex_usa has been with us around the world.

As a first-time parent, I admittedly went through more car seats than needed. Now, there’s the Callisto G 360. 🙌 

It’s designed to work from newborn up to double digits, which means no more swapping seats at different stages.

This seat features 360° rotation, a one-time install, and SensorSafe alerts, making travel days and everyday drives so much easier (and safer!) 💛

From toddler to big boy, this year’s birthday gift called for something a little extra special. Something that builds confidence and a love for adventure. 

That’s why I went with the EZ Bike from @royalbabybikes. 🚲
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
It’s designed to help little ones learn real balance with their “slide before ride” philosophy.

@royalbabybikes believes training wheels inhibit kids from learning real balance, creating a false sense of mastery whereas the EZ Bike helps kids learn proper balance faster. It starts as a balance bike so kids build confidence without relying on training wheels, and with the quick-release crank, it easily transforms into a pedal bike when they’re ready!

@royalbabybikes’ slogan “Once a RoyalRider, always a Loyal Rider” means their mission is all about inspiring kids to embrace biking and enjoy the outdoors from a young age. They’ve been Amazon’s top-selling kids’ bike brand for years, with award-winning designs built on research and development, it’s lightweight, easy to ride, and actually fun for kids to use.

Ollie was absolutely in love with his birthday gift and was off exploring within minutes — safe to say we’re officially along for the ride!
