I’m looking more forward 2 actually coming back home than I am going on holiday

I went away to Portugal last month for the first time with a 5yr old, and 18 month old and honestly it was so so lovely! I was worried about what to pack, and in the end I definitely overpacked! What I would say for the 4yr old, take a snack box, some new toys/sticker book/ipad etc for the flight!

@Emily bless u I’m glad u had a lovely time maybe I’m just overthinking everything and yes I will probably end up overpacking tbh but better 2 have 2 much than not enough and we are going by car as it’s only 2 and half hours away from where we live x

Its totally normal, I did this last year. I made myself so sick at the thought of going I actually wanted to cancel it but we had the best time. All the fears of going away and the unknown and what to pack were all gone when we got there although when I unpacked I realized my daughter had enough clothes to stay for a month and I had nothing that even vaguely resembled an outfit 😂😂😂 but we had the best time making memories as a family. Try not to worry, I know it's easier said than done but when you get there you will have the best time

@Carly thank you sounds pretty much like me and the packing lol will probably pack loads for my 2 girls and not much for me lol hopefully once we get them will be fine I think the main thing is cause my youngest is only 4 months that’s the stressful part having 2 remember everything like bottles milk nappies baby wipes steriliser bibs loads of clothes as she changes 2-3 times a day sometimes more 😂 then for my 4 year old it’s not so bad x
