The four must-dos in western Sicily to have great fun with your kids. And eventually negotiate some sight-seeing.
Hello moms and dads! Here we go again! We have been through a couple of tough weeks with baby Princess starting nursery! I guess she is on her way not to be a baby anymore and I need to figure out a solid way to be a mom and not an Italian mom, which means approaching her as a “bambina” until she is in her sixties. And buying underwear to her until she is in her fifties. Yes, I do have sound evidence that Italian women do this (more than one). Fortunately enough, she is a girl, which means that we should avoid the risk of me treating her as…
Musée Océano, sunny beaches, skating on Promenade des Anglais. French Riviera with kids: c’est top!
Hello moms and dads! Happy Saturday, especially if your vacations are over and trying to recover from that back-to-routine blues. A shoppaholic afternoon off alone or dating your partner for dinner while kids are with their nanny can do much. In particular, having nanny back can do much! Still, the very solution to the end of a trip, as we all know, is some travel planning for the winter break or next year. Last week, we talked about how relaxing was for us to be on the Western part of the Italian Riviera, as you can enjoy many facilities for the little ones and happily finish a mojito without chasing…
How Italian Riviera turns out to be a kids’ kingdom
Hello moms and dads! Many of you must be enjoying the beach, while others are in the back-to-school thing already. Well, we are still in a (very) summer mood, as this is vacations period in Southern Europe and schools are still far from opening. Fancy any idea for a summer long weekend? If you are still planning to be away at least one week, you should immediately have a look at our guest blogger story about her car trip through Italy, touching Tuscany, Elba and Ischia island. If you are rather considering a couple of family days, here you have the perfect solution for relaxing. Yes, you understood correctly: relaxing.…
To the beach with the baby: a tour through Italy (Tuscany, Marche and Ischia)
Going to the beach with the little ones: that’s the point. Where to go? In which period, at what time of the day? As a first thing, I should say that I don’t buy the general rule of doing early mornings and late afternoons only. If you stick to this habit it becomes very strict. Moreover, I didn’t use a baby pool: we were directly bathing in the sea very slowly, one little foot after the other. It was then quite a trouble to convince Phil to get out of the water. Of course, one should take the correct precautions, but I think one should organize the whole thing in…
Why Kids shouldn’t stop you globetrotting: our guest post for excellent “The Tokyo Chapter”
Hello moms and dads. Vacations season is at its peak and we would like to stress the very essence of this blog: travelling with babies is possible and funny. We had the priviledge of being guest writers of the awesome The Tokyo Chapter site, funded and run by Johanna MacGregor, Australian expat in Japan with her lovely family. We took advantage of this invitation to explain the mission of Globetrotting with my baby: empower parents to travel with babies and kids. We are extremely proud for the visibility that this collaboration can bring to our site. So, check out our post on TTC and don’t forget to read her suggestion…
Weaning a baby in London: gourmet baby food and some local treats will make it a true child’s play
Hello moms and dads! It is most probably a scorcher outside today and you are enjoying your house air conditioning. We are on the same page! Baby Princess definitely doesn’t like hot weather so we are prisoners in our flat: what a great excuse to bingewatch the newly released season of Money Heist with a frozen beer. Tough job, but someone’s gotta do it. Of course, normally one would prefer to be out at a park, under less extreme temperatures. This is why, these days, I have been often thinking of our trip to London when baby Princess was six months old. She discovered the grass in Hyde Park and…
Six reasons why Japan is the ideal place to go before your baby becomes a toddler
Goodmorning moms and dads! I hope you’ve been enjoying our stories about feeding baby Princess in Japan. Because today, it is Japan again. I guess that the fact that I’m craving for having sushi at Tsukiji fish market (which is now only for food, the tuna auctions moved to Toyosu market) is making me developing a Japan obsession. No, don’t worry, I’m not turning the whole thing into the umpteenth cooking blog: we have a good bunch of them already. As my mind goes back to our extraordinary trip (because it is an extraordinary Country), I’m more and more convinced that it was just perfect to be there before Princess…
Wean like a local in Japan: all you need is a bowl of rice
Good morning buddies! Summer has definitely kicked in for those of us living in the Northern emisphere. High temperatures often result into very nervous kids and feeding them turns out to be a difficult exercise of self control. I know, this is because I gave up those mom-and-baby yoga classes after the first session: I pretty much deserve it. Summer vacations are also approaching for many, which means “Oh jeeeee, I feel like traveling abroad but I’m parenting a ten-month-old baby and I’d better go as close as possible from home, maybe by car, so that I can basically move”. This is especially the case when you’ve just started the…
Eat like a local, wean like a local: all that it takes to feed your baby on the road
My dear parents, welcome to our column dedicated to weaning management while traveling. This topic deserves a category with in-depth analysis, because it is a very important step in our babies’ life. It’s one of the greatest changes a baby experiences in his/her first year. For mothers, it means studying, organizing, experimenting. This is why, parents can be scared by the idea of leaving for far-away vacations as their babies are undergoing the first months of solid food. For sure, it is more challenging than the milk-only period, where traveling is extremely easy : if you breastfeed, food is always there, if you are on formula, you just need to…
