#ad #ad My trip planning process! l will use London to show you the order I plan an itinerary. 1: Finding a flight! @delta Air Lines has many routes to London with nonstop flight options! I have flown them countless times and had an incredible in-flight experience to destinations all around the world! Visit Delta.com for travel inspiration and booking needs. 2: Neighborhood: Choosing your home base is one of the most crucial parts of a trip. Get more info on the specific neighborhood you want to visit by going to hotel listings in that area and reading the reviews. Filter it by location and can specifics like safety, proximity to public transit, if it’s family-friendly, food/grocery, and activities in the area. For London, I would base myself in Notting Hill or Camden in Zone 2 for a quieter, less touristy, scenic trip. If I wanted to be in the action, I would stay in Zone 1 near the Strand and Covent Garden near tourist sites, west-end musicals, food, and shopping. 3: Accommodations: When booking, I search for the most expensive/ highly rated hotels in the area. From there, I use the map tool to zoom in and see hotels that are in that radius and look for the cheaper ones. I assume that the 5-star hotels have done major research in finding beautiful locations, near good food, with lots of activities nearby, in safe areas. 4: Transportation: In London, I would use solely public transportation. Purchasing a Visitor Oyster Card saves money and works for unlimited rides on the tube, double-decker bus, and tram. You can also use this to get from the airport to your hotel. 5: Activities: I make a list of things I absolutely must do, things I want to do, and things to do if we have extra time. Categorizing these has helped me because as long as I have done all my must-dos and a few “want to-dos” the trip was a success! My favorite activities in London were seeing a musical on the West End, thrift shopping on Portobello Road, walking through the colorful homes in Notting Hill, eating my way through Borough Market biking through Hyde Park.

A crash course history lesson on Taylor Swifts co writers for all my converting Swifites

I can’t believe I get to hang out with the two coolest humans in the world every single day

Creative ways I help my kids regulate! These may be unconventional but I promise they work! Haha Blow out the candles: When the boys are having tantrums and can’t stop crying I always try to get them to take deep breaths. I started having them “blow out the candles” instead and this helps them calm down so much! Is there a shell in your ear?: Inspired by when I got a shell stuck in my ear in Costa Rica (iykyk). When they aren’t listening to me very well instead of yelling, I ask if they can’t hear me because they have something stuck in their ear. When I do this it usually gets their attention and acts as a restart without having to raise my voice. Did you eat Happy Knox/ Enxo?: I know this one is silly and definitely a little out there, but it was born out a moment of desperation and has saved us so many times. Knox was having a bad tantrum once and nothing would stop it. I finally said, “Did you eat happy Knox?” When I pulled happy Knox out of his mouth he started laughing and instantly calmed down. I will either say that or “Is there a baby in your mouth?” and it works almost every time. Boo Boo Potions: Whenever the kids have a nonserious injury I will do this to calm them down. They can add whatever they want to the potion and then either “drink it” or put it on the boo-boo. They love playing this game! Do you have any creative tools you use to help your child regulate when they are having a moment?
