XPark Jr: Baby it’s a jungle out there.

The monkeys have reached soft play expert level status. They have mastered cinema etiquette. They are borderline professional global travellers. They complain about wet feet and have no clue how to make a wooden raft. It’s actually incredibly embarrassing because the one thing I swore would not happen, has come to be. They are becoming the stereotypical…

The time we went to Fun City….

Being a Dubai Mom is often synonymous with soft play areas because let’s be honest for several month it is scorching hot outside and even on those cooler days containing your herd is often easier said than done! Prior to moving to the UAE, we had absolutely no concept of soft play areas, in South…

Inspired by a conversation with @ourbigdubaiadventure sometimes you just have to 🎶 Let it go, let it go 🎶 . #thoughtoftheday #funnybuttrue #madeyoulaugh #madeyouthink #lessonsfrommutts #mansbestfriend #quotesofinstagram #motherhoodquotes #allaboutmoms #momsandkids #motherhoodunplugged #motherhoodthroughinstagram #andthentherewere2blog #uaemombloggers #mombloggers #mombloggersofig #dubaimoms #dubaimums
When you first become a mother, one of the things you realize (when you come out of the sleep deprivation induced fog) is that you need to teach this little person E V E R Y T H I N G! How to eat, how to speak, how to walk, how to appropriately react to emotions and situations. Except how to unbox toys - @youtube does that very successfully! . That becomes the norm and if you’re a stay at home mom, it stays that way for a really, really long time (mostly because it’s a well known fact that 15 minutes actually feels like 33 hours and 23 minutes in the life of a #sahm 😊). . And then one day you wake up and realize that they are far more grown up than you seem to think and they’re teaching you things. Sometimes it’s interesting facts about Greek Mythology and other times it’s “Butt Skating” and Liam swears it’s the only way to scooter 🙈. . #momlife #momlifebelike #kidsofinstagram #kidsofig #dubaikids #dubaiadventures #beingmom #motherhoodunplugged #motherhoodthroughinstagram #kidsonscooters #capture_today #momswhoblog #dubaimoms #dubaimums #uaemombloggers #expatmoms #expatkids #kidsgrowingup #lessonsinmotherhood

Few things trump moody skies and turbulent seas. . @theoysterbox was a bucket list holiday destination for us since we first moved to Durban in 2010. Sometimes the reality doesn’t quite meet your expectations, other times, it exceeds even your wildest dreams. This holiday fell into the latter. In such a short getaway we managed to have amazing sunshine, broody storms and everything in between. Even though it doesn’t fall into the “resort” category as we’ve come to know it in the Middle East, we’ve managed to keep everyone happy and entertained for the duration and there were 4 refreshed (if a little sad) faces in the car on the trip “home” yesterday. . Now we need to plan the next one 😉 . Which is your favorite family destination? . #familyholidays #redcarnationhotels #oysterboxhotel #andthentherewere2onholiday #havekidswilltravel #familyholidays #lighthouse_captures #expatbloggers #expatfamily #familytravel #travelblog #notsponsored #uaemombloggers #andthentherewere2blog
