Is this absolutely necessary? We will have a double pram and the thought of it being stolen would be a logistical nightmare

I’m about to be going for 4 days with my 2.5 year old and 6 month old. Stressing that I am taking too much stuff but also not enough

Does anyone have any tips and tricks for travel with a 6 month old ? He is formula fed and we are staying at Marvel

My last trip when my eldest was 18 months was a complete disaster as he got a chest infection on day 1 and we didn’t enjoy any of the trip. Determined to try and have a good time 🥺

Thank you

MASSIVE SPOILER ALERT

I’ve just finished the final episode of This is Us. My family and friends have been telling me to watch this program now for years, but for some reason I didn’t think it was one for me.

I’m on maternity leave at the moment with a 14 week old baby and find myself with time and so I turned the program on and pretty much haven’t turned it off for a couple of weeks. It has been my absolute go to and a treat each day to watch our episode and get lost in the world of the big three.

From the very first episode, I was absolutely hooked and apart from a little lull that I think many experience in series 4/5 .. I’ve been completely obsessed. It’s one of the first times I haven’t read spoilers so had genuinely no idea what was going to happen and if somehow escaped to any media mention.

I cried a lot when William died . I cried a lot more when Jack died. i surprised myself fully when I cried the most when Miguel died.

I think the penultimate episode “train” is one of the most moving and emotional episodes of any programme that I’ve ever watched. I adore my mum and now also a mum and so the final few episodes absolutely broke me. I lost my dad in 2014 at the age of 24 and the train analogy is exactly how it felt to watch him slip away. He too had a revolving door of visitors and I love the idea of him walking through a train carriage and talking to them all. Apart from Miguel being done slightly dirty (very dirty), the whole caboose piece was just magic .

I know I’m not alone and feeling this way, but I genuinely think that program might have changed my life . I’ve been on the edge of depression for the last few weeks and I can honestly say it has somehow shifted my perspective. To watch those final episodes holding my newborn I suddenly wanted time to freeze. I was no longer dreading the long nights . Every hour feels like a blessing.

I’m not sure how long this feeling will last, but as soon as it wears off, I’m going to rewatch. I think I’ve found the cheapest therapy every

Thanks to anyone who made it this far !
