We are visiting from NYC and have our infant son and 3 year old with us. We used to live in Battersea so thought it would be fun to rent an apartment here but realised we are out of the loop with ideas of what to do with our son. Today we rode the bus and went on the underground much to his delight ...
I'm not sure about Chicago but if you come to NYC or NY there tend to be bespoke Facebook groups for individual areas within NYC and the suburbs. E.g The Upper East Side Mommas have UES Mommas and there's also the Westchester Moms group if you go to the suburbs. I know there is also an online commun...
I'd download Hailo which you have and Uber as well and then have a few local taxi company's on speed dial too. Any taxi can refuse you but most are kind and very sympathetic to a woman in labour. I went into labor at 8am on a tube strike day and could not get a taxi no matter what we offered. My hus...
We are flying in from the US in July and are looking to spend 5 days potentially somewhere in Europe. We don't want to fly as far as Greece so 3 hours max and want to go somewhere our toddler can run and enjoy himself. A beach would be great but my husband isn't against mountains either. We don't ne...
Hi everyone, Recently my family and I moved to the US. We chose Westchester County, New York owing to its great school systems and proximity to the city. On moving here I struggled to find information for activities, basic questions I had about my child, where to buy items second hand and general qu...

Not sure if you have sorted accommodation yet but if you are happy to commute 30minutes into the city each day southern Westchester is great. The majority of areas here (Bronxville, Scarsdale, Pelham) have excellent state schools, so no need to go private. We moved here from Battersea in December an...
When I got my son his BCG I was told I didn't need to worry about missing the one year old cut off as I'm from SA and a high risk country. Apparently if you have family or friends who visited from these high risk countries they may waive that. I'm not sure how true that is but that is what the nurse...
Just wanted to ask some advice...I am due to move to the USA shortly. Currently we use HIPP stage 1 formula. Can any mums who have lived in the US suggest a similar brand?
