Nope, not worried. 😇🌎✈️ Honestly, the 5 weeks we spent in Australia felt like a lifetime in terms of development. We’ve never seen the kids flourish more, all 3 of them developed in ways we never could have predicted. Who knew?!

New year, new routines and a few upgrades from @canadiantire that make everyday life feel a whole lot better. ✨🫧💛

This year we’re setting simple goals: cook more, create more, slow down when we need to, and actually enjoy the little moments in between. We’re getting back into cooking proper meals, upgrading our coffee ritual, and carving out quiet moments for a clear mind (with noise-cancelling headphones of course!) It’s all about making home/work life balance work better for us.

Our upgrades:

🎧 Bose QuietComfort Headphones - insanely good noise cancelling, (even with 3 loud kids!) super comfy, and the battery lasts forever. Game changer.

☕ Ninja Luxe Café - omg...it’s the dream! She makes espresso, regular coffee, and cold brew like a pro. We love her.

🍰 Kitchenaid Stand Mixer - she is an absolute stunner. We’ve been dreaming of this mixer for a while and finally picked it up - the most beautiful mixer to ever exist! So powerful and makes baking feel way more doable.

🔪 Global Knife Set - we upgraded a few of our essential kitchen tools, including this knife set. So slick and sharp, makes prep way faster, highly recommend!

🍳 Lodge Cast Iron Skillet - a classic for a reason. Heats evenly and works for pretty much evvverything. We’re total cast iron converts.

🪵 Paderno Maple Cutting Board - why didn’t we do this sooner? Solid, heavy, and doesn’t slide around - a must!

☕ CANVAS Mugs - had to have this new mug set. They’re so pretty, a great size, and they feel lovely in your hands.

Top 3 tips for travelling long haul with kids ✈️

Top 3 tips for travelling long haul with kids ✈️

Ok so flying BACK from Australia to Canada is a doozy - any parent who’s done it knows this! BUT, this flight went better for us than expected with our 7 year old, 3 year old, and 1 year old. (That’s not to say it was easy!) Trust us, we know that’s not always how it goes. 😮‍💨

The kids slept a bit, (our 7 year old slept 6 hours, our 3 year old slept 2 hours, and our 1 year old slept 3 hours), the big kids had way too much screen time, ate way too many snacks (no rules on flights!) and we wrangled our 1 year old by passing her back and forth, doing aisle walks, and bringing out different toys to keep her occupied. She’s wiggly and is already walking so she wanted to be up and about, but we managed to keep her mostly happy despite her waking up every time a flight attendant opened a can of soda near us. 😅

The truth is: you can’t predict how a long haul flight will go. You can’t predict who will sleep, who will melt down, or what curveballs will come your way.

So here are our top 3 tips:

1️⃣ Be over-prepared
LOTS of activities, (preferably new ones or toys they haven’t seen in a while), more snacks than seems reasonable, extra clothes, meds, and downloaded shows or movies galore.

2️⃣ Have low expectations
Lower the bar. Way lower. If you have kids 2 and under, it WILL be a challenge. It makes anything above survival feel like a win! No one around you cares about what your kids are doing as much as you think they do.

3️⃣ Stay calm
Your kids feel your energy - and they usually mirror it. The less stress you feel leading up to the trip and on the flight the better. Easier said than done, we know!

Cold & flu season isn’t the easiest time of year - in our house it means slowing down, lots and lots (and lots!) of cuddles and having a few of our trusty @boironcanada homeopathic natural health product solution on hand! Here’s what we love: ❤️‍🩹👇

🍯 Stodal® Honey
A non-drowsy, honey-based cough syrup formulated specifically for kids, used for dry or wet coughs*.

🍃 Stodal® Multi-Symptom
A non-drowsy syrup that helps relieve multiple cold symptoms, suitable for both children and adults.

💙 Oscillococcinum®
One for the whole family, a used for flu-like symptoms such as body aches, headaches, fever, and chills.

We like having options that are gentle and easy to use, whether it’s a syrup for the kids or something everyone in the house can take during cold and flu season.
