My Top 10 Essentials when Traveling with Kids (3 and 5 year olds)

Image
We just got back from a 15-day travel to Europe and here are the list of my top 10 Essentials when traveling with your kids.  1. Stroller and Baby Carrier . You will need a stroller until when they are around 8-9 years old. Traveling means walking a lot and it will be very helpful for your kids, they can get to rest without interrupting your itinerary. They can have their naps while you go shopping and sightseeing. Carrier for when your small child doesn't want to walk and doesn't want to ride the stroller as well, this will make carrying a big heavy baby 😅 easier and you can have your hands free.    2. Kids Medicine Kit . In my list are Paracetamol, Rash Creams and Ointment & Bandaids for minor cuts and bruises. You do not know when the kids will catch a fever or get cuts while playing, walking, or running. It is better to have it and not need it than don't have and need it. <this is my reminder to myself whenever we are traveling.  3. Laundry Soap . You may...

We Have a Contract for our House Helper

Image
It is really super hard to look for a reliable and trustworthy house helper nowadays. We are lucky to have a helper that is with us for almost 3 years already and she is excellent with our kids. Lagi nga lang niya pinapatay yung mga bulaklak and halaman ko, but you know, you can't have everything. 😂 For us to have a harmonious and fair relationship, I created a contract for us to follow. I based this to the one Isabelle Daza once posted on her socials before.  Here is a copy of our contract: You can copy and edit this to whatever fits to your conditions.  We are also conducting a quarterly evaluation to check her performance and if there are any concerns. I hope this helps!  Let me know if you also have a contract for your house helper or you are planning to make one! Love, K PS: You can send me a message if you want to get a copy of the file. 😊

Our Europe Trip: France

Image
  This is our family's first time in Europe and Mason's first ever travel outside of the country. The first stop that we have chosen was Paris, France. We landed in Belgium and took the train to Paris.  Our travel from Manila to France took almost 30 hours. Manila to Qatar, 9 hours. Layover, 4 hours. Qatar to Belgium, 8 hrs. Immigration, 2 hours. Brussels to Paris to our Apartment, 6 hours. I didn't feel tired until I have laid in bed when we arrived in France. We slept at around midnight, woke up around 8 am.  Up to this point, I am not sure if I should be sharing this. But just to let you know, I was not aware of how long the travel to Europe was. Maybe I just didn't do enough research and didn't even look at out flight details. 😅 Honestly, nobody talks about how to get there. Everybody is just talking about being there. Nagulat lang talaga ako, because I didn't prepare for it. The first ever long haul flight that we had took us 26 hours including layover and...
