British Mummy Blogger's Carnival - Travelling With Children
I've been doing lots of travelling lately with the toddler what with finding a house and going back & forth from houses to where I used to live. We've had some right nightmares with the toddler developing travel sickness which isn't helped with food he's eaten or the hot weather. At least twice we've had to stop at a lay by to strip the child, clean his seat and change him. This all got me thinking about a theme for the British Mummy Blogger's Carnival which I was to host, I know I'm not the only parent out there which finds 'travelling with children' a memorable experience! So without further undo I give you the parent blogosphere posts about travelling with children.
The first post I bring you is from Vic over at Glowstars who whilst traveling with Little Mister in the car crashed. Since writing that post I've heard firsthand that the car is now a write off! Oops!
