This year we will travel to our home countries Poland in April and Hungary in June. Not much of real holidays but we are overdue on family time. Its always hard to choose between going to visit family or going for proper holidays.
We are going to Centerparcs in June and Majorca in July. Please do more holiday videos and like reviews of resorts/self catering vs all inclusive etc etc? I’m a holiday addict so will watch them all! X
Perfect timing! We are going on our first family holiday with a 3 months old baby very soon.
Thanks a lot Emily for the tips!
This is the video I've been waiting for! Thank You!✌
I learned the hard way, always get a direct flight if possible and yes as you stated keep the travel times as close to the your routine schedule and definitely all inclusive is the way to go. Love you so much Emily!
Perfect timing Emily! Thank you for this video
Love your videos!
We are in the US and on a tight budget, also, our nearly year old doesn't sleep well overnight on holidays, so we are aiming local this year. We picked up a road map, drew a circle around our town and everything within a 1 hour car ride. Every month we pick a town or national park within that circle, research what to do, where to eat, etc, then plan an all day trip. As soon as our little guy has had breakfast we jump in the car and come home just in time for bedtime. We don't feel guilty paying admission or for eating out every meal because we aren't paying for a hotel.
I find that making sure our kitchen is cleaned and our bed is made and turned down makes coming home a relief at the end of a day trip!
Wonderful tips, Emily 😊
Thank you for sharing 💗
Such an excellent informative video Emily !!. So much I haven’t thought about.really excellent valid tips. You obviously put so much time & thought into it. Thank you so much . Xx.
To be honest I did not think that there was that much to consider when booking a holiday, but I watched anyway as I love supporting your channel, glad I did because this ended up being a great resource. Great tips xo
This was SO great definitely gonna keep them in mind!!
They are some of THE best tips! The only thing I have to say as I work for a tour operator is that the cookies bear no impact on the price fluctuation. The way it actually works is supply and demand (for most companies anyway). I.e. if the flight is selling well, they will increase the price as they know people will pay 😊
Great tips. I was such a travel buff before getting on the mommy bus but things are different now. This video got me excited to plan my first holiday with my toddler.
Im in so love with your scooter luggage for kids. I have added it in my amazon basket.
Love all your travel videos and packing hacks and travel tips! One travel tip is to book directly with the hotel / resort, a lot of hotels / resorts will give you the best rate guarantee, if not you can always email the hotel to ask to match a lower rate you find online elsewhere. I got so inspired by your travel vlogs as a first time mom and I am now planning to bring my will-be-11-month-old baby to the beach first time next month. Your packing videos definitely help to relieve any worries and stress that come with traveling with a baby! Thank you!
Amazing video! Very useful tips. Thanks, Emily ❤️
Love your videos! With the low deposit of £50pp if you cancelled you’d still need to pay the full deposit which is £200pp, the top up of the low deposit is due 8 weeks after booking. This is for Tui and First choice, I noticed this on their t and c
Thank you very much for your advices!!
Love this! Going on our first family vacay with our 19 month old soon!
Love this video! Very informative and you mentioned so many things I never would have thought of or just didn't know :) thank you!
Wow so many great tips!!!!! Thank you!!!!! Again, really great content, well done!!!
I LOVE your travel videos! I'd love to hear a ranking of your favorite family holidays and/or what the pros and cons of your family holidays have been.
Great video and tips Emily. We were really disappointed with our first abroad family holiday. We thought all inclusive was the way to go. We were so wrong. Our little boy had just turned 1 at the time and there was never anything available when he was hungry. We spent a fortune eating out every day. The hotel wasn’t not child friendly at all even thought research said different. You are so right that you have to think differently with children. Thanks again. Love your channel xx😍
Love this Emily! Your videos are always so put together and relevent..
Ah thank you. Thank you so much for watching xx
Amazing that you’ve posted this when I’m starting to plan my twin girls first holiday 😍
Thanks for all the tips!! 😃
Perfect timing for this video. Leaving for Turkey in less than 3 weeks and will be using your tips. Thank you Emily :)
Wow lucky you guys! Thank you so much for watching Mashal xx
Great Video 😁. Thank you for posting.
Really good video. Our best holidays with baby/toddler have been Vienna in a fab Airbnb apartment. There's a surprising amount of great things to do in Vienna with kids and in the summer we had great weather. Close to home we stayed at a holiday park in Derbyshire in a chalet. Accommodation was perfect, lots to do locally and onsite pool and softplay on those not-so-good weather days was so handy. I'm not a fan of package holidays but I can see the appeal. It's great to have more suggestions for destinations.
Great pointers but think it all comes down to your travel style. We love to see as much as possible and do historic / cultural type holidays. We've managed to see London, Amsterdam, Thailand, Bali and Morocco so far with our little girl and are planning to visit Singapore and Myanmar before she turns two. I think kids are adaptable to your lifestyle and that goes for travel style too
I will be saving this for when I book or pack my next holiday abroad or home x
So comprehensive Emily alot of it i had never even thought of it before thank you for sharing😁
Handy tips 👍👌 Thanks Emily 🙏❤
Yesterday I said to my husband ‚We really need to start planning our vacation for this year. But I’m totally lost.‘ And then you post this video. Great timing. Thank you!
I love your holiday vlogs!!
Traveling with kids can be really stressful, but you make it look so easy. Thanks for all the tips! And I love your blouse, it screams spring 🤗❤️
This is so helpful! I'm currently planning our first family holiday with our 10 month old son! X
These are such great tips! Especially how to save for travel. It's so simple, but I never thought to treat it like a "bill" Love all your videos. They are so motivating ♡
I would love to see you with a travel series. Keep us up to date on the best deals or ways to travel, etc.
Thanks for the great tips. I am planning a Vacation ourselves to Disney soon.
I like ur videos before I even watch them♥️♥️♥️always inspiring and positive
Thank you so much for watching xx
As usual, really helpful
Love this video, Emily. Incredibly helpful, practical advice and tips but you’re also so warm and watchable, too. I reckon you could read the phone book out and I’d still like it! 😂 My absolute favourite TH-camr xxx
This is so useful. Thank you Emily :)
Very useful Emily! Thank you. My next vacation will be in Egypt and Mexico
Great video! Just been on holiday with our 1 and 7 year old and wish I had of seen your video first 😂 no lift, buggy and lots of stairs haha lesson learned!
Love this xx
Great tips! Thank you for the school holiday ones, my daughter started in September and I can’t get over how much more expensive it is 🙈 xxx
Love it!!!
We love center parcs and have booked our first holiday with our baby boy 💙 he'll be nearly two, really excited! xx
Ah exciting Becca, enjoy! Thank you so much for watching xx
Very good tips!
I'm crossing my fingers for Japan this year. My daughter will be just over one when we go. I'm scared and excited but probably more scared. Thank you for the tips!
Very useful! I've watched your video even if i don't have any children! Love your videos especially with mini tips like this one :) kisses from Greece
You always do videos of packing for the kids.. let’s see what you pack for yourself and Matt next time 😍
Good idea Taslima! Thank you so much for watching xx
Turkey in June for me.
Love this video Emily!! Love your parenting style! And I love your blouse/dress!! May I ask where it is from? You look amazing as always!💕❤️
Hi Emily. Love your videos. Have you ever done a home filing ideas type video? I love how you organise things and need some inspo xx
Thank you Emily 🫶🏻🥰🥰
Your videos are so helpful
Wonderful tips thank you ☺️ we’re planning to go away next year so the baby will be almost a year but we will have 4 children all together so your advice is a godsend 💖 xx
Great video! Please could you talk more about catering for food allergies as that would be very helpful for sorting play dates! Thanks Xxx
Very helpful tips
Great video. Going on our first abroad holiday this year with our now 18 month old. He will be almost 2 when we go. On Spain so not far. But it's worth noting as I've just sent off for his passport. It says now on the form that you can't use the post office service check and send. I don't know why. But it must be a new rule. Thanks again Emily. Always love your content. Our little one is called jackson too! I have been watching since you were pregnant with him 💕 x
We did a flight from Ireland to Perth, Australia last month with a 8,6 and 2.5 Yr old. It was absolutely fine, it really wasn't half as bad. In some ways it was easier because there was screens and non stop food and drinks on the plane. We packed so lightly for this because we knew whereas when we fly to Europe we struggle to entertain the kids and have to carry snacks etc. X
Aaawww love your shirt.. So beautiful print n it's really looking great on you..
Yes, please do a video about all inclusive. And then one about going on a cruise
Thank you so much for watching Flavia xx
Perfectly timed video for me. Planning to holiday for the first time with my 2 and a half year old and I’m so anxious! Have you heard of or used the Tots to Travel company? Thank you for all the tips. Going to watch all of your holiday videos now! 😊
Thanks Emily! I would like to learn more about all inclusive holidays with a baby and pros and cons? Thank you!
Good idea Mandy. Before kids I don't think we'd ever been on one, now we love them. We love self catering breaks too though, we just love holidays!! Thank you so much for watching xx
Thanks for the tips! I grew up going on vacation every other year. Some years it was nearby and cheaper, other years it was more extravagant. My husband and I have a 10 month old baby and I’m very nervous about bringing him on a plane or even a long car ride. 😬
Hi Emily! Can you please do a video about all inclusive holidays. What do they generally include? Where do you book them? What services do they offer? Things like that..
I'd like too know too xx
Thank you
Loved this ,if you had merch I would buy it all
It’s so very true that kids don’t care , my 2 oldest are 5 and 7 and we have been aboard 2/3 with them and if you ask them where there fav place is , it’s always Center parcs or butlins 🙈 As long as your together that’s all that matters . ❤️
Love this Emily thanks! ❤️
Thank you so much for watching xx
Team Norris... you’ve got me in trouble with my hubby today! Watched your family vacay vlog this morning, felt inspired and booked a villa in Majorca this afternoon!! Ah well, this next video is perfect... time to settle down with a brew and get some tips for the rest of the holiday 😂🙈. xx
Ah great stuff Laura!! When are you going?? Thank you so much for watching xx
So helpful and basically just amazing 💙
Thank you so much for watching Maisie xx
Emily, you really are amazing. I look up to you and have followed you since I've been a mum of 1 boy. Pleeease tell me where your shirt is from? It's beautiful! X
So helpful, thank you Emily. Would you recommend All inclusive, Half board or Self catering when holidaying abroad with a youngish family. Ours are 9,7 and 4. Xx
I always love your videos and I’m looking to book our first UK holiday with a 16 month old. Have you ever been to butlins or could you recommend something similar for a young baby where the priority is to keep her active and tire her out xxx
Love this vid. Where is your skooter suitcases from?
We are going to st.malo in France via car. First vacay away with our daughter (will be 9months old by then) so we thought of getting her own little suitcase but thought since they are pricey we would get one that she can use for a while
Really enjoy your content and your tips, Emily. Passing on the how to with dads on my new channel.... greetings from Dad Halen :)
Hello emily, these were very helpful tipps, thank you very much! Completely off topic, but did you by any chance already make a video on how to clean/ maintain your sneakers? I really love to wear sneakers, but they just get dirty so quickly when i go to the park with my daughter :-( i remebered that you and your husband also wear them frequently so i thought you maybe already made a video on how to keep them clean :-) best wishes from france!
The Worlds most Helpful Video xxxx
Thank you for sharing these tips, Emily! We should start to plan ahead too! Cleaning browser history, 👍how smart! 🌸
So simple but often helps. Thank you so much for watching xx
Love your channel !!!
I love this vid so helpful love ur way of parenting x
Thank you for the great tips Emily, you sound like a pro & could clearly qualify as a travel agent.
Greetings from South Africa
Very helpful thanks
Love this video thx for the advice
My pleasure! Thank you so much for watching xx
Would love to take our kids abroad. My youngest was a poorly baby and every time we went away in uk we ended up at the emerg drs or even hospitalised 🤦🏼♀️. Now he's well but finances aren't flexible enough! We have started saving etc though as we have said we want to do it in the next 2 years.
I’d love to see you location list and resorts aboard that you’ve visited since having 😊
The locations have definitely changed since having kids thats for sure! Thank you so much for watching Jessica xx
I always sing happy birthday now when I wash my hands because of your video on hacks for sick kids lol
Halima Mohammed me too 🤣!!!
Twice ;)
Great tips!! always love your travel videos and 'travel hacks' especially tips for travelling with babies and children, as I'll have an 9 week old baby in september when we plan to travel to australia (from england) so a bit nervous as I'm a first time mummy and pre-booking such a long haul flight with a 2 month old sounds scary, but want to go then as my sister is giving birth to her first in australia in september and i want to be there for that. Eeek! wish me luck or any tips! I plan to breastfeed so hoping that helps too. Also can you take a sleepyhead on board or a carry car seat? As i'm getting the joie isize lie-flat one...if anyone knows....what i can take on-board a long haul flight.
Thank you, Lara x
Hii! Lovely video 💕💕 I would like to ask where’s your dress from? 🤭🤭
Thank you so much these tips were everything we needed! We just had twins and were trying to figure out a vacation plan! ✈️ 🌏
Emily, what tends to be the case if say you’d booked your holiday and paid and then just before you’re due to go you have something unexpected happens, do you get a refund on your holiday? I..e illness etc?
ThAnk you for a fab video 💕 xxx
OMG this has helped me so much we are going to Mexico in the Easter break and I always stress about it so much but this has made me so much calmer. Thank you so much for this video. 😁
Ah we want to go to Mexico! We were thinking about going in the Easter holidays too!! Thank you so much for watching Holly xx
Ooh! Where in Mexico are you going in Holly? Also how long for?
We're thinking of going in May, but haven't booked anything as yet 🙈
SuperSeventeen1717
We are going just outside of cancun and for 2 weeks (a week is enough to do everything however it is a lot more relaxing if you stay for longer)
Hope this helped you out
@@hollyrobson8767 ah thank you!
I've got 2 options, either Cancun or somewhere in Europe, will go with whatever seems the best value last minute.
hiya.... nothing to do with your video where did you buy your top? really love it
Great video and we are just thinking of travelling abroad with our 1 and a half year old. Can you tell me how child car seats are organised for transfers and any taxi trips?
I just take my car seats with me. Check it in with luggage then there’s no hassle of lugging it around.
Zainab Nuzhan Thanks! Do you rent a car the far side then or taxi?
Great video and awesome tips!! You are so organised. I mean I thought i was organised😶.you are very organised XX
Ah thanks Abbie, I try! Thank you so much for watching xx
22s 😱😱😱 real fan haha love you
Hi Emily, could you recommend some of the travel agents that will often do a low deposit per person and then paying the balance 12 weeks before.The last few times we’ve been away we have always paid upfront but I like the idea of saving and booking quite far in advance. Thanks xx
