Today I have made up litte kits for the kids to take on the plane!! They have dsi / itouch headphones books colour pencils a blow up pillow blanket and eye mask (they requested that one for when they sleep) and at the last minute I'll add lollipop and a drink for them!!

One thing I never go without sunlight soap it's easy to pack and you can use for lots of things!! On our road trip in the campa van go broome I used it for washing clothes I used it for washing dishes and the kids used it in the bath so I always take about 4 bars! Again pack light!

Getting passports renewed starting to make a list of things I need to organise like getting some scripts for penicillin and my liquid gold jungle juice!!! ( helps the kids sleep and settle on the plane if need be, but usually we wear the kids out before the flight so they sleep like babies!) if your doing overseas trip with little ones do a late night one 9pm wear the kids out all day keep them up till boarding time once on the plane they will sleep like babies!

Hey everyone getting ready for a family vacation round Europe and to turkey! Stay tuned! It will be a interesting ride with five kids!!! I'm gonna post recipes and how to do it without costing the earth!!! If we can do it you can!! Get your passport ready guys!
