Just dropping into your feed this glorious Easter Monday. I
hope you survived all the egg hunting. We wanted to

Speaker 2 (01:10):
This is this glorious mess, the Mother's Group in your
ears where judgment is left at the door and we
know that you love hacks on this glorious mess, because
what else are we here for?
Speaker 4 (01:21):
We're just like one mother hacking out the other mother.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Out, hacking hacking out, hacking out, like helping out, helping
out thought what we're doing is we're hacking out.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Yeah, okay, like hanging out.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Well yeah, but with our hacks.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Okay, fantastic. So we've got hacks about holidays, right.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
We're going to be dishing some traveling hacks. We've got
some of our Mumma me parents.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
They're not just our hacks, they're also about the best
of the best from the Muma Meme Parents Faces group.
And there were so many good sits, yes, really good
about to adopt them for my upcoming trips and me.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
Too, pagnanting hacks.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
So traveling with kids teas, tell me what have you
got coming up?
Speaker 2 (01:57):
We are going to Nosa actually just next week. We're
going to Noosa and with not just me and my family,
with my brother and his wife and his three children,
busy and my mum and dad. So it's like every
two years my side of the family do a big
family trips because my brother lives up in Queensland. Oh.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
So yes, we are flying up and I'm so excited.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Actually, did you know NUSA just got a Mecca. I
know this isn't my beauty podcast, but if you like Mecca, well.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
If I can escape the six children that I will
be living with for the week, I'll be sure to
pop in.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Oh heaven. I love new so it's ideal for kids.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Yeah, I haven't actually been up there with the kids.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
We were booked into go the Christmas that COVID hit
and so it all got canceled to report back.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
But you're starting to think about hacks.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Yes, well I am.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
And also it's a new age now, Like you know,
the last time I was ever traveling or patching clans.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Are you patched to clean?
Speaker 2 (02:48):
I touched to claim and I also caught a plane.
They were so much younger. That was like baby time.
Whereas now I've got toddlers. I think it's actually worse
to be Wow, it's a matter of like how do
I keep them sedated and occupied for the dura of light?
Speaker 4 (03:03):
Oh yeah, that's what I mean.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Yea.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Yeah, Well how about you. You've got a big trip coming.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Short but big. We're going to Italy literally for ten days.
So for a wedding, hate no, for a fortieth for
a fauting. Rich's best friend lives in London and his
wife is turning forty and they sent us the invite
late last year and I said, absolutely not, we can't
afford it. I had a big party bah bah bah.
But then when we read the fine print, accommodation is
paid for, so how could we not like who gets
(03:29):
to go to Pullia and it's all sortied, so like
Sydney to Abu Dhabi, Abudhabi to Rome's pretty much straight
through with an almost three year old who is the
most boisterous boy daycare has ever seen. Not looking forward
to him.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
More than anyone.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
I'm going need the hacks. And then on the way back,
we're stopping in Abu Dhabi for a couple of nights
because we thought decompress, kind of break it up, so
that will be doable. But type AI anxious mum is
already so stressed about the.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
Flight, at least less of him.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
She says, don't worry about it leaving with me, and
I'm like, I want that in riding, I'm going to
take my sleeping pill, put my eye muscle and be like,
who's kickers?
Speaker 2 (04:06):
That should be your contract, Like I will take this
mission on if you are responsible for the flight.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Yeah, okay, great, I'll tell him man, Yeah, all right,
let's talk hacks. What have you got?
Speaker 4 (04:17):
Okay, Doki?
Speaker 2 (04:18):
So look, when you're traveling with kids, it's a good
idea to have a loose itinary.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
Loose is the keyword there.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
So it's good to have it planned so that you
know you can get everything done that you want to
get done, and you can book in things that you
need to book.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Which book, book book?
Speaker 2 (04:31):
These days post COVID, you're not getting in anywhere if
you don't book, so at least have that all planned
to go. And then, of course don't get hysterical if
you don't stick to the itinerary.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
I agree with that, and I struggle as a planner.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
I thought that would be like you would have never
expected for me to say that. I thought you'd be
really proud of me for saying an itinerary.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Oh yeah, I am. I mean I love an itinerary. Yeah,
give me an itinerary I just purchased, so I'll let
you know how it goes. And one of those plane pals,
they're like a blow up thingy that goes at the
kid's feet so then they can lie down. I don't
even know if our airline allows that. A lot of
airlines don't, or it just depends on the air hostess
or air host you get at the time. But let's
see I will report back when we get back, because
(05:12):
if he can sort of lay flat and not lay
across me, oh, I'll be much happier. But yeah, I
don't know. Jokingly, I put in the script valium for parents,
but only one parent at a time. Honestly, I'm so
lucky that I've got rich and we've got one. Like
you've got three kids and two adults. Oh yeah, that's wild,
it's not ideal.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Look.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Yeah, actually, I saw quite a few people on the
Facebook group mentioned the plane power. That seems like a
popular suggestion as well. My other suggestion in terms of
our itinerary and booking is research RSLs, surf clubs, kid
friendly restaurants in cafes, because it's like, you know, we're
going to NUSA, somewhere like NUSA, Like there's a million
little blogs and things that will literally nut them all
(05:53):
out for you and tell you you can go where
it's got a little play area for the kids. So
just take a little bit of time to research that.
If you are staying in a house.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Or a or whatever.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Yeah, I cannot recommend enough to pre book a grocery
delivery for your arrival so you don't have to pack
all the nappies. You don't have to pack all the stuff.
You don't have to rush to the shop as soon
as you get there because your kids have got to eat.
Just book an online grocery order delivered to your door
for as soon as you arrive, and you don't have
to think about it.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
That is really clever. Because half my suitcase is always nappies.
Yeah genius.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Oh my gosh, imagine when I had three nappies and
the formula. I remember when I went away once I
had a whole suitcase of formula tins and nappies.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Tell shit.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
My tip is for travel, you know, air travel, road travel.
Every day I always have several sized ziplock bags because
your kid will probably do a poor explosion, or they
decide to jump in a puddle, or they've taken one
bite out of banana bread. If you've got ziplock bags,
you just seal that up.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
It's actually genius.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
I love it, like oftentimes even on our Wednesdays when
we're not traveling but we're going to swimming. Alexander Beggs
for Vanna bread has one bite leaves on the plate
and I'm like, mate, that was seven bucks. Yeah, I
put it in there and he no doubt wants it
later or he haves to jump in puddles. He doesn't
really have poor explosions anymore. We're pretty much out of nappies.
But even just put off.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Just saves like the crumbs in the handbags exactly exactly,
or even like.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
A new fresh outfit and nappy, so that if you're
going to the toilet at the local road stop or
on the plane, you can just quickly change them. You're
not rummaging, and your big bags not on the floor
and somewhere dirty. Yes, ziploc bags are life, and I
read use mine for anyone that's going to tell for
the enviroment.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Yes, definitely reuse them. That's a great one. My other suggestion, now, look,
this is not everyone's cup of tea, and I totally
understand that it took us a while to ever get
up the balls to try it, to be honest with you,
But local babysitters and nanny's right. So look again, not
for everyone, but do you research a lot of areas,
(07:52):
especially like tourist destinations, have very extremely reputable companies with
police checked, health checked, you know, nannies. Then you can
book for a date night or whatever. So the first
time we did it, the kids would have been about
three and two. We went out for dinner in Port
Douglas and booked a local Nnach. She was literally a grandma,
like someone's grandma. She bought some like face masks and
(08:14):
decorative things for the kids to do, and she sent
me photos throughout the night.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
She was so so lovely.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Yes, I must say I've done that in NUS as well.
It's funny that you asked that because I didn't want
a crowdsource. In the Mum of mer Parents facebook group,
we're considering doing the same. But in Rome, organized through
the hotel, it feels scarier because it's overseas For some reason,
would you do.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
It if it's through the hotel, I if it's a reputable.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Get a backpackers. But yeah, they offer it on the website,
and I thought maybe I could just even if the
person got to the room and I got bad vibes,
I could just say, oh, I canceled, of course, I
don't know, or if Alexander didn't like them. We just
want to go to one dinner, yeah, you know, just
so we feel like.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
You get them to come for a few hours and
for them to play yeah, yeah, and then you can
trust them out.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
If any other parents have done that internationally, I'd love
to hear sorry to hijack your own hacks. But that's
the one thing that I'm doing and throwing because I
just I don't want to get back and then my
son's been kidnapped, like my gosh, worst nightmare anyway back
to me. When you were driving, we with varied success,
played the quiet Monkey game because my son does not
stop talking. So we went to the Hunter a few
(09:20):
weeks ago and for two hours each way, he just
did why why? Why? Why? So quiet monkey gets a lolly?
Whoever can be the quietest monkey. He's not great at it,
but sometimes you get forty five seconds, sometimes you get
two minutes, and I.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
Just runs pretty quick.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
I Spy is also our favorite, although he doesn't know
the letters, so he just says, I Spy a tree.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
That game's over pretty fast.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Says better than him asking why everything's why is that? Cow? Why? Why? Why?
I'd rather play I Spy a Tree?
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Yeah? What. I've actually touched wood, touch all the woods
in the world. I have not hit the why phase
yet with my kids.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
My wives are so deep and meaningful. I'm like, I
don't know, whe's.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
A forty ro because I just say Because.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
When Rich had a dead bug in his water the
other day, Alexander said, will he get home to his mummy?
And I said, no, he's but why I would.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Just say no, just say yeah, that's a lot, so
I'm not sure.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
I'll check, I'll ask they're our hacks. Do you have anymore?
Speaker 2 (10:16):
I do, actually, just a couple more, especially flights activity packs,
but new, not new as in you have to go
buy brand new stuff, but stuff they haven't seen before
and don't give it to them until they're sitting on
the aeroplanes. By the time you've given it to them
in the car or two days before, they don't care anymore.
So just go to your cheap shop, pack it full
(10:37):
of little knickknacks and pens and crayons and whatever, and
make a little pack. And if you don't want to
do it yourself because you can't be asked, there is
a company called Very Busy Bags. They already pred them, like.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
I have one called give me a Minute, and that's
the same. It's got coloring stickers, that's it.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
So you just want to get it pre done, but
do not give it to them until and.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Also don't give them the whole bag, give them one
thing at a time until they get more.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
And also I'm sure i'll get ambush.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
For this, but lollipops, oh yeah, lollipops for the flight
are really great.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
Good there, and for piping them up. Yeah, shove this
and you've got.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
And I've learned the hard way. Make sure you download
everything that your child will ever potentially want all this side. Yes,
because we've got Netflix, and so I downloaded like Frozen one,
but of course he wanted Frozen two. I downloaded Cars three,
but he wanted Cars four. So I mean, you know,
you know.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Which leads me to my second last hack iPad. And
don't forget the headphones no matter what you do.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Can I say, even like parenting experts, like qualified people say,
on holidays, all rules go out the window. Whatever you've
got to do to get there, you know, like maybe
you're not a screen parent, but sometimes do you know
what I mean, Like.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
What do you mean rules? I don't have any rules
about Like.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
If you're really strict on sugar or iPads or whatever,
just do it. Yeah, sometimes you just got to do
what you got to do, and then you set the
rules back when you're on land or in the place.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
Yep, yep.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
And we asked the parents in the parenting and they
had some little nuggets of goals.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Elizabeth and Ronnie both recommended packing cubes, which is great, especially.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
If you've got multiple children.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
I whack all my kids stuff in the same suitcase
so you can use the pack and fit.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
Even Jason and I share a suitcase.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Oh my god, I'm so high maintenance.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
So you are so your makeup bags? Probably is you
just Jason's toiletry bag? You too, I swear to god,
he takes up more room than me.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
I'm so glad that they said that, though, because I'm
obsessed with packing cubes, Like I sit on one side
or my undies on the other side. You know how
you get the double zip ones and then it's so
good and then you zip up your dirty stuff.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Yeah, but I just get really jealous of people like
you that like are so organized.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Like quick one question, do you unpack when you get there?
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Absolutely not. Jason likes to hang up all this stuff
and everything. I'm leave it in the bag.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
I'm normally leave it in the suitcase girl. But now
we've got hard cases that double open up. By the
time we've got three cases that double open up, there's
no room ate anywhere. So like you can't walk on
the floor, do you know what I mean? Like they
don't they don't have a trunk flip lid. They doublesation
the other da. I'm like, I don't know any suitcase anymore.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
That is just the lid.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
I think we should make a hard case brand with
just the lid. We're going to be in flux breaking
me and lovely. Sharon also says it bags. She loves them.
Message disasters during the flight. Agreed, buffet breakfast smart you
just sneak a few treats from buffet Banana.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
Yes, I love it.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
We'd love to hear more travel hacks. Jump in the group.
Tell us where you're going, give us some travel in spo.
It's so exciting that people are moving about again and
we'll never take it forget.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
And it's great to hear child friendly places that you're going.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
Spread the word. Actually, you probably don't want to tell
everyone your secret.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
But spread so. The Mama Mere Parents group has some
excellent extra tips. We're going to put the link in
the show notes. We had it to chat over there
got some amazing tips and there's more ideas, so check
it out. Nailed failed, nailed in a failed.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Nailed in a faild I love it. Every week we
have a different jingle for this segment. What is yours?
Speaker 1 (13:58):
My failed? I feel really bad saying this, but just
my kid will not shut up at the moment. Is
it a phase? He does?
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Joe's the same. I'm like, do you ever breed your breast?
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (14:11):
From the second they wake up, yes, still the second
they are asleep, and it's just like relentless.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
And also the conversations don't make sense, and they jump
from conversation to conversation and they need to know the answer,
and sometimes I'm just like, I don't know. It just
needs silence.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Jo's obsessed with Fridays, so he'll be like, yeah, that
toilet I got on Fridays And I'm like, why is
it always Friday?
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Alexander is too, He'll go is it Friday? I think
as we do fun stuff on the weekends, so he
wants to Probably.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
The only day I ever talk about Friday Fridays.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Yeah, Oh my gosh. But I love him so much.
But I'm just like, my favorite thing is like six
thirty onwards before bed, that half an hour cuddle on
the couch because he starts to wind down and you
can tell his batteries are drained, and I'm like, oh,
you're so cute by now, But it just is like
someone pulled on one of those toys and my brain
(15:03):
just crave silence. Anyway, that's a mean fail, but I
know other parents can relate and it's not a safe space.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
Yeah, it's very safe.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Yes, what's your fail?
Speaker 4 (15:12):
My failing?
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Now? All about Indie this week? So, as you know,
the twins have their ears pierced anyway.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Does she have a stinky earring hole like you do?
Speaker 4 (15:20):
Why are all my things about earrings these days? No?
Speaker 2 (15:23):
So, like her earring was like a little bit bent
and ruined and like falling apart in her ear and
I was like, okay, I'll get some new earings. We
went to the chemist. We got some new little earrings.
As I'm trying to take out her old one, like
we couldn't get it out. And they had no issues
getting the ears piers but India is like traumatized about
me putting in or taking out earrings.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
Like she gets so scared at the idea.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Are you rough?
Speaker 4 (15:44):
Not at all? I'm so like, even before I touch her,
she'll be like ah, And I'm like, you didn't even
cry when you got your earspears. It's weird.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Anyway, it turned out there were like five hairs stuck
from the back of bed around caught around to the
front of it, and that's what had bent the earring.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
And the hairs bent the earring because it's pulled.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
The ear ring like it was quite a big earring
and like pulled the face of the earrings own. Anyway,
long story short, she fell asleep because she wouldn't let
me get there because she's like, no, it's stuck, and
she was like this forever.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Anyway, so once she fell asleep, I forgot scissors out
and I'm like Sammy's like, no, don't do it, like
she's so protective by her. I'm like no, I've got
to cut the hair to get the earring off.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
Anyway.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
I literally like they're holding my phone, torch and scissors
like having a surgical I was basically a neurosurgeon. Yeah,
and I got it out. These four hairs had nearly
sliced up her ear low. Oh my gosh, if I
need to watch that seriously, brush your children's hair.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
Yeah, it had come cold. It wasn't connected to her
head all right.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
It's obviously like hairs that had come off, and it
wrapped themselves around the earring. I've noticed that her earring
had been a little bit bent for months. Anyway, I
still can't put the new earring back in, so she's
walking around with one earring in.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
That's just nailed for me, I reckon, because you've saved
your child's ear.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Yeah, well fail. It took me the negligence to discover
it into.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
The first place. Well, my l let's prop ourselves up.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
This nail's weird. It's not something that I've experienced personally.
But I read a very interesting article, and because obviously
type A organized lee likes to be planned for the future,
I read this article on BuzzFeed, so obviously very reputable.
There's this pediatric dentist going viral in the US and
she talks about how if your child's tooth gets knocked
out of their socket, you've got to grab it and
(17:34):
quickly ram it back in within sixty seconds. And I
just happened to mention it to you in passing because
I was like, hey, do you want to know what
to do if your tooth ever falls out? Because I
like to be prepared, and you were like, absolutely not.
How do you feel about that?
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Well, this exact thing has happened to my daughter Samara
when she was one, And let me tell you for starters,
I would love to meet a parent that con jam
a tooth back in a baby when their tooth has
fallen out within sixty seconds, because that is not happening
and I don't think so we need to research this
because when I I took the whole tooth to the hospital.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
When Sammy's fell out, and they're like, nah, there's nothing we.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Say, so it says this whole thing happened because a
kid knocked out six of his teeth, four of them
were adult teeth. He was nine years old. If your
kid's teeth get knocked out of the front and they're
the permanent teeth, adult teeth, please put them back in
the socket, even if it's the wrong way. Just put
them back in and then get to the soh that's
the adult teeth. Yeah, well, why would you need to
save the baby teeth? They're practice that's what I asked
you before. Well, I guess what does it matter? Just
(18:32):
whack them in and go.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
And that's what I was saying, because with the baby teeth,
you can't put them back in because apparently it affects
the way that the new teeth will g Apparently the nerves.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
And blood vessels reintegrate with the body. I mean, we're
not dentists, I believe it or not.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
I believe that about the adult teeth, that.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
They contains blood vessels and nerves which supplies blood sensation.
I don't know, guys, anyway, it just blew my mind.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
You've got to try and let us know if you
nailed it.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Can you imagine if your poor child has been in
soccer or football or whatever and you're like, just hang on, honey,
just let me do this blood everywhere. If it happens
to be any pediatric dentists that listen to this show long,
I don't know. We'd love to hear if this is the.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Right thing to do well, and for baby teeth and
adult teeth. We need to know the difference because a
lot of our listeners will be in between.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
And speaking of in between, do you have a nail
this s weeek, I never do.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Yeah, well, it's an in between nail because it's kind
of a fail. It depends what type of parent you are.
For me, I was offended, so it was a fail.
But then I also saw the you know silver lining.
The other day, I was dropping India off and it
was like a little mother's day morning tea. So I
was lingering at daycare drop off longer than usual, and
Indy's like, so we'll go back into our class now,
(19:43):
and I was like, oh okay, and then she goes
and then you can go.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
To work and pick us up later. Oh my god,
she sounds like a two wheel there.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
I'm like what And she's looking at me like she
knows that maybe what she said might hurt my feelings
a bit.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
And I'm like, do you want me to go? She's like, yeah,
you can come back later.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Like all my children's lives, I've wanted them to be
like happy, you know, like we get so up at
about like bad daycare drop offs where they don't.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Want you to send off your.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
Yeah, now I'm crying out the daycare drop off. Oh
you little sassine cow. I love it, but better be
on my way.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Well yeah, it actually made me feel way less guilty
about dropping your daycare.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
So and going for a foot massage, I'm sure. And

Speaker 3 (00:20):
Just dropping into your feed this glorious Easter Monday. I
hope you survived all the egg hunting. We wanted to
share an episode from the archives today, back when Teagan
was hosting with Lee Campbell with Holiday's Top of Mind.
We might be traveling, so we wanted to share Lee
and Tagan's ultimate hacks for holiday with kids. So this
(00:42):
is everything that you might need for traveling with kids,
things like how to make your trip just that little
bit smoother, from plane powers to lollipops. They've got you covered,
so enjoy.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Hello, Natoli, my name's Lee Campbell. I stolen interest.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
To meet you. Can't help yourself? Can you? And together?
Speaker 2 (01:10):
This is this glorious mess, the Mother's Group in your
ears where judgment is left at the door and we
know that you love hacks on this glorious mess, because
what else are we here for?
Speaker 4 (01:21):
We're just like one mother hacking out the other mother.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Out, hacking hacking out, hacking out, like helping out, helping
out thought what we're doing is we're hacking out.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Yeah, okay, like hanging out.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Well yeah, but with our hacks.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Okay, fantastic. So we've got hacks about holidays, right.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
We're going to be dishing some traveling hacks. We've got
some of our Mumma me parents.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
They're not just our hacks, they're also about the best
of the best from the Muma Meme Parents Faces group.
And there were so many good sits, yes, really good
about to adopt them for my upcoming trips and me.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
Too, pagnanting hacks.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
So traveling with kids teas, tell me what have you
got coming up?
Speaker 2 (01:57):
We are going to Nosa actually just next week. We're
going to Noosa and with not just me and my family,
with my brother and his wife and his three children,
busy and my mum and dad. So it's like every
two years my side of the family do a big
family trips because my brother lives up in Queensland. Oh.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
So yes, we are flying up and I'm so excited.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Actually, did you know NUSA just got a Mecca. I
know this isn't my beauty podcast, but if you like Mecca, well.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
If I can escape the six children that I will
be living with for the week, I'll be sure to
pop in.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Oh heaven. I love new so it's ideal for kids.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Yeah, I haven't actually been up there with the kids.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
We were booked into go the Christmas that COVID hit
and so it all got canceled to report back.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
But you're starting to think about hacks.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Yes, well I am.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
And also it's a new age now, Like you know,
the last time I was ever traveling or patching clans.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Are you patched to clean?
Speaker 2 (02:48):
I touched to claim and I also caught a plane.
They were so much younger. That was like baby time.
Whereas now I've got toddlers. I think it's actually worse
to be Wow, it's a matter of like how do
I keep them sedated and occupied for the dura of light?
Speaker 4 (03:03):
Oh yeah, that's what I mean.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Yea.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Yeah, Well how about you. You've got a big trip coming.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Short but big. We're going to Italy literally for ten days.
So for a wedding, hate no, for a fortieth for
a fauting. Rich's best friend lives in London and his
wife is turning forty and they sent us the invite
late last year and I said, absolutely not, we can't
afford it. I had a big party bah bah bah.
But then when we read the fine print, accommodation is
paid for, so how could we not like who gets
(03:29):
to go to Pullia and it's all sortied, so like
Sydney to Abu Dhabi, Abudhabi to Rome's pretty much straight
through with an almost three year old who is the
most boisterous boy daycare has ever seen. Not looking forward
to him.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
More than anyone.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
I'm going need the hacks. And then on the way back,
we're stopping in Abu Dhabi for a couple of nights
because we thought decompress, kind of break it up, so
that will be doable. But type AI anxious mum is
already so stressed about the.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
Flight, at least less of him.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
She says, don't worry about it leaving with me, and
I'm like, I want that in riding, I'm going to
take my sleeping pill, put my eye muscle and be like,
who's kickers?
Speaker 2 (04:06):
That should be your contract, Like I will take this
mission on if you are responsible for the flight.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Yeah, okay, great, I'll tell him man, Yeah, all right,
let's talk hacks. What have you got?
Speaker 4 (04:17):
Okay, Doki?
Speaker 2 (04:18):
So look, when you're traveling with kids, it's a good
idea to have a loose itinary.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
Loose is the keyword there.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
So it's good to have it planned so that you
know you can get everything done that you want to
get done, and you can book in things that you
need to book.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Which book, book book?
Speaker 2 (04:31):
These days post COVID, you're not getting in anywhere if
you don't book, so at least have that all planned
to go. And then, of course don't get hysterical if
you don't stick to the itinerary.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
I agree with that, and I struggle as a planner.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
I thought that would be like you would have never
expected for me to say that. I thought you'd be
really proud of me for saying an itinerary.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Oh yeah, I am. I mean I love an itinerary. Yeah,
give me an itinerary I just purchased, so I'll let
you know how it goes. And one of those plane pals,
they're like a blow up thingy that goes at the
kid's feet so then they can lie down. I don't
even know if our airline allows that. A lot of
airlines don't, or it just depends on the air hostess
or air host you get at the time. But let's
see I will report back when we get back, because
(05:12):
if he can sort of lay flat and not lay
across me, oh, I'll be much happier. But yeah, I
don't know. Jokingly, I put in the script valium for parents,
but only one parent at a time. Honestly, I'm so
lucky that I've got rich and we've got one. Like
you've got three kids and two adults. Oh yeah, that's wild,
it's not ideal.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Look.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Yeah, actually, I saw quite a few people on the
Facebook group mentioned the plane power. That seems like a
popular suggestion as well. My other suggestion in terms of
our itinerary and booking is research RSLs, surf clubs, kid
friendly restaurants in cafes, because it's like, you know, we're
going to NUSA, somewhere like NUSA, Like there's a million
little blogs and things that will literally nut them all
(05:53):
out for you and tell you you can go where
it's got a little play area for the kids. So
just take a little bit of time to research that.
If you are staying in a house.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Or a or whatever.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Yeah, I cannot recommend enough to pre book a grocery
delivery for your arrival so you don't have to pack
all the nappies. You don't have to pack all the stuff.
You don't have to rush to the shop as soon
as you get there because your kids have got to eat.
Just book an online grocery order delivered to your door
for as soon as you arrive, and you don't have
to think about it.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
That is really clever. Because half my suitcase is always nappies.
Yeah genius.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Oh my gosh, imagine when I had three nappies and
the formula. I remember when I went away once I
had a whole suitcase of formula tins and nappies.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Tell shit.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
My tip is for travel, you know, air travel, road travel.
Every day I always have several sized ziplock bags because
your kid will probably do a poor explosion, or they
decide to jump in a puddle, or they've taken one
bite out of banana bread. If you've got ziplock bags,
you just seal that up.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
It's actually genius.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
I love it, like oftentimes even on our Wednesdays when
we're not traveling but we're going to swimming. Alexander Beggs
for Vanna bread has one bite leaves on the plate
and I'm like, mate, that was seven bucks. Yeah, I
put it in there and he no doubt wants it
later or he haves to jump in puddles. He doesn't
really have poor explosions anymore. We're pretty much out of nappies.
But even just put off.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Just saves like the crumbs in the handbags exactly exactly,
or even like.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
A new fresh outfit and nappy, so that if you're
going to the toilet at the local road stop or
on the plane, you can just quickly change them. You're
not rummaging, and your big bags not on the floor
and somewhere dirty. Yes, ziploc bags are life, and I
read use mine for anyone that's going to tell for
the enviroment.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Yes, definitely reuse them. That's a great one. My other suggestion, now, look,
this is not everyone's cup of tea, and I totally
understand that it took us a while to ever get
up the balls to try it, to be honest with you,
But local babysitters and nanny's right. So look again, not
for everyone, but do you research a lot of areas,
(07:52):
especially like tourist destinations, have very extremely reputable companies with
police checked, health checked, you know, nannies. Then you can
book for a date night or whatever. So the first
time we did it, the kids would have been about
three and two. We went out for dinner in Port
Douglas and booked a local Nnach. She was literally a grandma,
like someone's grandma. She bought some like face masks and
(08:14):
decorative things for the kids to do, and she sent
me photos throughout the night.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
She was so so lovely.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Yes, I must say I've done that in NUS as well.
It's funny that you asked that because I didn't want
a crowdsource. In the Mum of mer Parents facebook group,
we're considering doing the same. But in Rome, organized through
the hotel, it feels scarier because it's overseas For some reason,
would you do.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
It if it's through the hotel, I if it's a reputable.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Get a backpackers. But yeah, they offer it on the website,
and I thought maybe I could just even if the
person got to the room and I got bad vibes,
I could just say, oh, I canceled, of course, I
don't know, or if Alexander didn't like them. We just
want to go to one dinner, yeah, you know, just
so we feel like.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
You get them to come for a few hours and
for them to play yeah, yeah, and then you can
trust them out.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
If any other parents have done that internationally, I'd love
to hear sorry to hijack your own hacks. But that's
the one thing that I'm doing and throwing because I
just I don't want to get back and then my
son's been kidnapped, like my gosh, worst nightmare anyway back
to me. When you were driving, we with varied success,
played the quiet Monkey game because my son does not
stop talking. So we went to the Hunter a few
(09:20):
weeks ago and for two hours each way, he just
did why why? Why? Why? So quiet monkey gets a lolly?
Whoever can be the quietest monkey. He's not great at it,
but sometimes you get forty five seconds, sometimes you get
two minutes, and I.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
Just runs pretty quick.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
I Spy is also our favorite, although he doesn't know
the letters, so he just says, I Spy a tree.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
That game's over pretty fast.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Says better than him asking why everything's why is that? Cow? Why? Why? Why?
I'd rather play I Spy a Tree?
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Yeah? What. I've actually touched wood, touch all the woods
in the world. I have not hit the why phase
yet with my kids.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
My wives are so deep and meaningful. I'm like, I
don't know, whe's.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
A forty ro because I just say Because.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
When Rich had a dead bug in his water the
other day, Alexander said, will he get home to his mummy?
And I said, no, he's but why I would.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Just say no, just say yeah, that's a lot, so
I'm not sure.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
I'll check, I'll ask they're our hacks. Do you have anymore?
Speaker 2 (10:16):
I do, actually, just a couple more, especially flights activity packs,
but new, not new as in you have to go
buy brand new stuff, but stuff they haven't seen before
and don't give it to them until they're sitting on
the aeroplanes. By the time you've given it to them
in the car or two days before, they don't care anymore.
So just go to your cheap shop, pack it full
(10:37):
of little knickknacks and pens and crayons and whatever, and
make a little pack. And if you don't want to
do it yourself because you can't be asked, there is
a company called Very Busy Bags. They already pred them, like.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
I have one called give me a Minute, and that's
the same. It's got coloring stickers, that's it.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
So you just want to get it pre done, but
do not give it to them until and.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Also don't give them the whole bag, give them one
thing at a time until they get more.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
And also I'm sure i'll get ambush.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
For this, but lollipops, oh yeah, lollipops for the flight
are really great.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
Good there, and for piping them up. Yeah, shove this
and you've got.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
And I've learned the hard way. Make sure you download
everything that your child will ever potentially want all this side. Yes,
because we've got Netflix, and so I downloaded like Frozen one,
but of course he wanted Frozen two. I downloaded Cars three,
but he wanted Cars four. So I mean, you know,
you know.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Which leads me to my second last hack iPad. And
don't forget the headphones no matter what you do.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Can I say, even like parenting experts, like qualified people say,
on holidays, all rules go out the window. Whatever you've
got to do to get there, you know, like maybe
you're not a screen parent, but sometimes do you know
what I mean, Like.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
What do you mean rules? I don't have any rules
about Like.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
If you're really strict on sugar or iPads or whatever,
just do it. Yeah, sometimes you just got to do
what you got to do, and then you set the
rules back when you're on land or in the place.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
Yep, yep.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
And we asked the parents in the parenting and they
had some little nuggets of goals.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Elizabeth and Ronnie both recommended packing cubes, which is great, especially.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
If you've got multiple children.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
I whack all my kids stuff in the same suitcase
so you can use the pack and fit.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
Even Jason and I share a suitcase.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Oh my god, I'm so high maintenance.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
So you are so your makeup bags? Probably is you
just Jason's toiletry bag? You too, I swear to god,
he takes up more room than me.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
I'm so glad that they said that, though, because I'm
obsessed with packing cubes, Like I sit on one side
or my undies on the other side. You know how
you get the double zip ones and then it's so
good and then you zip up your dirty stuff.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Yeah, but I just get really jealous of people like
you that like are so organized.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Like quick one question, do you unpack when you get there?
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Absolutely not. Jason likes to hang up all this stuff
and everything. I'm leave it in the bag.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
I'm normally leave it in the suitcase girl. But now
we've got hard cases that double open up. By the
time we've got three cases that double open up, there's
no room ate anywhere. So like you can't walk on
the floor, do you know what I mean? Like they
don't they don't have a trunk flip lid. They doublesation
the other da. I'm like, I don't know any suitcase anymore.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
That is just the lid.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
I think we should make a hard case brand with
just the lid. We're going to be in flux breaking
me and lovely. Sharon also says it bags. She loves them.
Message disasters during the flight. Agreed, buffet breakfast smart you
just sneak a few treats from buffet Banana.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
Yes, I love it.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
We'd love to hear more travel hacks. Jump in the group.
Tell us where you're going, give us some travel in spo.
It's so exciting that people are moving about again and
we'll never take it forget.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
And it's great to hear child friendly places that you're going.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
Spread the word. Actually, you probably don't want to tell
everyone your secret.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
But spread so. The Mama Mere Parents group has some
excellent extra tips. We're going to put the link in
the show notes. We had it to chat over there
got some amazing tips and there's more ideas, so check
it out. Nailed failed, nailed in a failed.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Nailed in a faild I love it. Every week we
have a different jingle for this segment. What is yours?
Speaker 1 (13:58):
My failed? I feel really bad saying this, but just
my kid will not shut up at the moment. Is
it a phase? He does?
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Joe's the same. I'm like, do you ever breed your breast?
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (14:11):
From the second they wake up, yes, still the second
they are asleep, and it's just like relentless.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
And also the conversations don't make sense, and they jump
from conversation to conversation and they need to know the answer,
and sometimes I'm just like, I don't know. It just
needs silence.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Jo's obsessed with Fridays, so he'll be like, yeah, that
toilet I got on Fridays And I'm like, why is
it always Friday?
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Alexander is too, He'll go is it Friday? I think
as we do fun stuff on the weekends, so he
wants to Probably.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
The only day I ever talk about Friday Fridays.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Yeah, Oh my gosh. But I love him so much.
But I'm just like, my favorite thing is like six
thirty onwards before bed, that half an hour cuddle on
the couch because he starts to wind down and you
can tell his batteries are drained, and I'm like, oh,
you're so cute by now, But it just is like
someone pulled on one of those toys and my brain
(15:03):
just crave silence. Anyway, that's a mean fail, but I
know other parents can relate and it's not a safe space.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
Yeah, it's very safe.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Yes, what's your fail?
Speaker 4 (15:12):
My failing?
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Now? All about Indie this week? So, as you know,
the twins have their ears pierced anyway.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Does she have a stinky earring hole like you do?
Speaker 4 (15:20):
Why are all my things about earrings these days? No?
Speaker 2 (15:23):
So, like her earring was like a little bit bent
and ruined and like falling apart in her ear and
I was like, okay, I'll get some new earings. We
went to the chemist. We got some new little earrings.
As I'm trying to take out her old one, like
we couldn't get it out. And they had no issues
getting the ears piers but India is like traumatized about
me putting in or taking out earrings.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
Like she gets so scared at the idea.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Are you rough?
Speaker 4 (15:44):
Not at all? I'm so like, even before I touch her,
she'll be like ah, And I'm like, you didn't even
cry when you got your earspears. It's weird.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Anyway, it turned out there were like five hairs stuck
from the back of bed around caught around to the
front of it, and that's what had bent the earring.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
And the hairs bent the earring because it's pulled.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
The ear ring like it was quite a big earring
and like pulled the face of the earrings own. Anyway,
long story short, she fell asleep because she wouldn't let
me get there because she's like, no, it's stuck, and
she was like this forever.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Anyway, so once she fell asleep, I forgot scissors out
and I'm like Sammy's like, no, don't do it, like
she's so protective by her. I'm like no, I've got
to cut the hair to get the earring off.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
Anyway.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
I literally like they're holding my phone, torch and scissors
like having a surgical I was basically a neurosurgeon. Yeah,
and I got it out. These four hairs had nearly
sliced up her ear low. Oh my gosh, if I
need to watch that seriously, brush your children's hair.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
Yeah, it had come cold. It wasn't connected to her
head all right.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
It's obviously like hairs that had come off, and it
wrapped themselves around the earring. I've noticed that her earring
had been a little bit bent for months. Anyway, I
still can't put the new earring back in, so she's
walking around with one earring in.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
That's just nailed for me, I reckon, because you've saved
your child's ear.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Yeah, well fail. It took me the negligence to discover
it into.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
The first place. Well, my l let's prop ourselves up.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
This nail's weird. It's not something that I've experienced personally.
But I read a very interesting article, and because obviously
type A organized lee likes to be planned for the future,
I read this article on BuzzFeed, so obviously very reputable.
There's this pediatric dentist going viral in the US and
she talks about how if your child's tooth gets knocked
out of their socket, you've got to grab it and
(17:34):
quickly ram it back in within sixty seconds. And I
just happened to mention it to you in passing because
I was like, hey, do you want to know what
to do if your tooth ever falls out? Because I
like to be prepared, and you were like, absolutely not.
How do you feel about that?
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Well, this exact thing has happened to my daughter Samara
when she was one, And let me tell you for starters,
I would love to meet a parent that con jam
a tooth back in a baby when their tooth has
fallen out within sixty seconds, because that is not happening
and I don't think so we need to research this
because when I I took the whole tooth to the hospital.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
When Sammy's fell out, and they're like, nah, there's nothing we.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Say, so it says this whole thing happened because a
kid knocked out six of his teeth, four of them
were adult teeth. He was nine years old. If your
kid's teeth get knocked out of the front and they're
the permanent teeth, adult teeth, please put them back in
the socket, even if it's the wrong way. Just put
them back in and then get to the soh that's
the adult teeth. Yeah, well, why would you need to
save the baby teeth? They're practice that's what I asked
you before. Well, I guess what does it matter? Just
(18:32):
whack them in and go.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
And that's what I was saying, because with the baby teeth,
you can't put them back in because apparently it affects
the way that the new teeth will g Apparently the nerves.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
And blood vessels reintegrate with the body. I mean, we're
not dentists, I believe it or not.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
I believe that about the adult teeth, that.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
They contains blood vessels and nerves which supplies blood sensation.
I don't know, guys, anyway, it just blew my mind.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
You've got to try and let us know if you
nailed it.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Can you imagine if your poor child has been in
soccer or football or whatever and you're like, just hang on, honey,
just let me do this blood everywhere. If it happens
to be any pediatric dentists that listen to this show long,
I don't know. We'd love to hear if this is the.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Right thing to do well, and for baby teeth and
adult teeth. We need to know the difference because a
lot of our listeners will be in between.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
And speaking of in between, do you have a nail
this s weeek, I never do.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Yeah, well, it's an in between nail because it's kind
of a fail. It depends what type of parent you are.
For me, I was offended, so it was a fail.
But then I also saw the you know silver lining.
The other day, I was dropping India off and it
was like a little mother's day morning tea. So I
was lingering at daycare drop off longer than usual, and
Indy's like, so we'll go back into our class now,
(19:43):
and I was like, oh okay, and then she goes
and then you can go.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
To work and pick us up later. Oh my god,
she sounds like a two wheel there.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
I'm like what And she's looking at me like she
knows that maybe what she said might hurt my feelings
a bit.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
And I'm like, do you want me to go? She's like, yeah,
you can come back later.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Like all my children's lives, I've wanted them to be
like happy, you know, like we get so up at
about like bad daycare drop offs where they don't.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Want you to send off your.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
Yeah, now I'm crying out the daycare drop off. Oh
you little sassine cow. I love it, but better be
on my way.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Well yeah, it actually made me feel way less guilty
about dropping your daycare.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
So and going for a foot massage, I'm sure. And
