Sunny Queensland

We visited Sunny Queensland during November, luckily we left just before Schoolies hit town.

Mum, myself and bubba went up to visit some friends in Brisbane, and to attend an Essential Oils conference/seminar. I now am a certified AromaTouch massager... basically I can use Essential Oils to give you a light massage across your back that will help release relaxing massage oils. Feel free to pop around to my place if you want to give it a try, and give me a chance to practice.

It was a lucky getaway, considering it was relatively cold and wet in Sydney, whilst Queensland hit 30 degree highs and Sunny skies.

Flying with the little one

So it was my first time flying with the little one and luckily it was only a short little trip.

We were flying up to Gold Coast to see some friends and for me to learn how to give an essential oil light massage.

So we flew up Wed during the day and flew back Sat night. I think I much prefer to fly with a child at night. Because on the way up during the day it was just so hard to keep them occupied in a tiny little seat on a full plane for 1.5 hrs. It didn't help that the teenage boy seating behind me had his knee hitting the back of my seat constantly.

Whereas on the way back it was late and I managed to breastfeed to sleep during take off and he just slept in my arms for 1.5 hrs. Although Eli being over 10kg sure gave me pins and needles. Hmm I wonder how I'm gonna survive a 9hrs midnight flight with him in my arms the whole time. Let's hope that he still fits the bassinet.

I was a bit disappointed with Jetstar though, I just wished they would have allowed those with babies and children to get on the plane first. Because I didn't want to line up for 30mins to board while holding bub and carry on, I waited. But it is so hard to have to try and squeeze through the tight aisles with a bub and carry on. Also it sucked having to walk up and down the stairs to get on the flight.
