Holiday luggage

So we are taking our 3 year old on a plane for the first time, unsure about the liquids rule? We have small bags and cabin bags, is there still a limit on liquids 100ml clear bottle, 1 clear bag per person etc? Or can you put full sized sun cream etc in the cabin bags that go over head? 😫 x

What adrenaline activities are you able to include your toddler in?

I love being outside and used to rock climb but it's been years since I don't have a babysitter or climbing partner other than my husband. Im missing that adrenaline feeling and looking for new activities where I could safely bring my two year old with me!

Routines/Schedules?

Curious to know what other SAHM’s routines are with their baby? My daughter is 15 months and very, very active. Toys don’t seem to grab her attention as much as they used to as she prefers to just jump and climb on pretty much anything and everything. She spends about an hour in child care at the gym while I workout...

Im looking for things that my 5 year old can do around the house to "earn" money. So I want my 5 year old to understand that keeping the house tidy is a responsibility rather than a job but what could I give them as a job?

I want to start teaching them the value of money and how you have to work to get it and things about saving and stuff like that but I don't know what job to give.

3 year old birthday gift

Any ideas what to get our son for his birthday? Already has a toy kitchen, kids tablet, sand pit, water table, hot wheels track, train set, wooden car garage, mini football goal. Our garden isn’t that big so don’t really want anymore garden toys. Was thinking a Toniebox but don’t know if it’s worth it
