Holidaying with a baby

I will soon be going on holiday to a hopefully sunny beach resort and I have (only just) started to think about packing. Unfortunately we don't have a trailer, so the huge amount of items required to tend one's baby, will need to fit into quite a small space.

Here is my checklist so far : 

Nappies
Baby blanket
Resealable plastic bags (for stashing stuff!)
Clothes (one or two changes a day, cotton for travelling)
Food, formula, water, juice, bottles or a training cup (you will need more than you think!)
Breast pump (if breastfeeding)
Night light (for night feeds or nappy changes)
Baby sling (if going somewhere a buggy isn't suitable)
Travel cot (with baby sleeping bag
Car seat (for safe travel)
Lightweight buggy
Changing bag
Nappy rash cream
Baby wipes
Baby bath and lotion
Tissues
Extra dummies (always handy!)
Washable bibs
Sun hat and sun protection of at least factor 20

I have probably forgotten something!

About Me : Alison Brown, IT Manager

Whilst I am telling the readers out there about the different products and special offers we have here at Dream Company, it is sometimes nice to read something different.

On our About Us page, it (hopefully) amusingly states "Wonderfully creative designer. Designs all our websites, customised cards and stationery. Alison has a penchant for silly handbags with children's characters on. She also has a fabulous pair of shiny, red shoes. Hardest working person in Wales." - that was written by our MD, Maria.

Ah, she is funny. I now have to tell you about my handbags. I have two bags - one lovely lilac thinnish sort of bag with Tigger attached by the zip end and a bigger one that is blue, that I make use of as a changing bag, with Winnie The Pooh attached to it (both to be found at your local Argos store). She thinks the fact I have these, is hilarious and I am very glad to be the source of much amusement. I love my bags!

I coveted my most gorgeous patent red shoes from Clarks, and I lovingly window shopped them every day on the school run for months and months. I was subsequently very lucky to have gotten them as a birthday gift from a lovely friend. Bliss! I am very thankful, I don't want a lot in life, but those called to me. I am a bit of a tomboy, so a big "I want those shoes" wish is very rare.


The last bit that she wrote, well, I try my best and that is all anyone can do, I suppose. I have three gorgeous children (Ben, Lexie and Matty) and a job that I love (I am not just saying that because I am writing on their blog you know) and they all keep me out of mischief! I love designing a new look for the websites or developing a new birth announcement card or a christening invitation and sometimes you can even find me on our website chat facility (I am very shy) trying to offer advice as to which card design would be best to buy.

Anyway, enough about me, come and visit us soon!
