Serenity Dream Travels

Struggling with constant sleepless nights with your newborn? A bedtime routine is your secret weapon! A chaotic evening can lead to erratic sleep patterns, making your baby more wakeful, and difficult to settle. By establishing a consistent routine, you signal to your baby that it's time to wind down, helping them understand day from night. Start with calming activities like their bedtime feed, a warm bath, lotion, pjs, and cuddling them while you sing a lullaby. Consistency is key—follow the same steps at roughly the same time each night, helping your baby anticipate bedtime. If you start aiming to introduce a routine around 5 weeks of age, you can see positive impacts within 2 weeks of being consistent. Over time, your baby's body clock adjusts, and they learn to sleep longer stretches, bringing peace to both you and your baby. If you're unsure HOW to start, you can't get your newborn to sleep longer than 15 minutes, they seem overtired and fight bedtime, I have the perfect solution for you! It's the same strategy I used with both my babies, allowing them to sleep all night (without formally sleep training them). Curious to know more!? Send me a DM "sleep shaping" and I can share more details on my virtual session you can access today. If you're ready for more successful in the sleep department, and want to start asap, you can access my session by visiting www.serenitysleepsuccess.com (which also has free resources) of visit link in bio to unlock the virtual sleep shaping session today! 🤍 #babysleep #babysleeptips #babysleeping #newbornsleep #newbornsleeptips #sleepcoach #sleepbetter #bettersleep #sleepsupport #sleephealth

Most of my clients say their baby is sleeping through the night by 12 weeks old.

A well-rested family is a happy family! 🫶🏼 Let's skip the fluff - I'm all about practical advice that works, just straightforward solutions to ensure your family thrives. Here's a little secret: I've been there too.

New items for our upcoming travels! ✈️ visiting Europe with two toddlers will be a task on its own so I want to make sure we are comfortable, pack as "light" as possible.

My son Eli ("elevated" & "defender of man"), has a numerology of 8 which happens to be his favourite number. He is obsessed with 🦕🦖and corrects me if I pronounce them "wrong". He has a speech delay but happily sings his favorite Moana song on repeat. His excitement is infectious, his memory is incredible, and he is a loving soul to his core. Pisces ☀️, ↗️ Aries and Aquarius 🌑 so he has a lot of big and 🔥 emotions. He's one of the most intuitive little souls I've ever known and I love pulling affirmation cards with him. He can't stand tags, strings, or the majority of fabrics, so almost every morning meltdowns are the unfortunate norm. Certain words can trigger him without us realizing what those words are until we are knee deep in a meltdown, but each day we try our best. The older he gets the more restless his sleep begins and now I know for sure, there's a reason bigger than his sleep apnea diagnosis. Eli's highs are high and his lows can be extremely low, it's a rollercoaster but we will forever be along on this ride. Eli is autistic and beautiful, caring and my whole world. Being his mama has proved my intuition is powerful. Friday was filled with a lot of emotions and I've shed a lot of tears. Not because I love him any less, not because I feel sorry for him, not because "why" but because I never want him to experience discrimination for his beautiful and intricate mind. I never want him to feel less than or excluded. If you ever wave or say hi to Eli and he's reserved, know he's trying his best. If you ever see us looking drained, exhausted, and mentally tapped out it's because every day we have bigger trenches to navigate vs neurotypical parents. Yet, we wouldn't change a thing about him but we would change social norms/expectations. I've contemplated my purpose career wise for a while and I'm leaning towards pausing this rebrand. Returning to sleep education and highlighting autism and sleep. I'll keep everyone updated but for now, I have a trip to pack for. 🤍 #autismfamily #autismparent #autismsupport #autismadvocate #toddlersleep #toddlersleephelp #parentsupport #mamaowned #tbay #ourfamily #aboutus #familytravel #toddlermommy

Unexpected Baby Moon🌙 I'm reflecting on this moment captured in 2019, so many emotions.✨ I was embarking on a travel adventure and the beginning of a beautiful, and wild journey into motherhood. 🩵 In 2019 we booked another trip to Greece. We wanted to make sure we had another chance to visit before expanding our family. Our trip was scheduled for the end of August and overlapped with our wedding anniversary, we couldn't wait to explore Crete. 🇬🇷 It just so happens that prior to leaving I had 2 pink lines on a pregnancy test, which came 1-2 months after an early miscarriage. 🤍 I was thrilled, scared, excited, but also realized I couldn't enjoy wine with dinner or pina coladas. 😂 During my 1st trimester, every experience was amplified - from the stunning landscapes that left me in awe to the ocean waves that thankfully didn't end up with me losing my lunch. I made it on a boat without getting sick, for those who know about 1st trimester yuck, you know it's a big deal. 🤣 Exploring the winding streets, I found pretty blue doors, and daydreamed what was to come, I felt an inner peace while on this vacation. ☀️ Upon arriving to our first hotel we took a photo we would later use for our pregnancy announcement (swipe). Basically Eli's "first" travel was Greece, while he grew and we hit the 12 week mark. From day one I knew this baby would be a boy and this trip confirmed my intuition was right! Greece has a very special place in our hearts, this is one of the reasons. 🌈 To say I'm emotional at the thought of bringing both my babies who are now toddlers to Greece is an understatement. I am beyond grateful for the life we've created and genuinely excited to inspire your family to bond through travel. 🫶🏼 Follow @dreamjartravels to join our family on our upcoming trip to Europe. 🌍 Do you have a cherished memory marking a significant moment in your life?

Are you the type of traveller that is prepared a week or more before the trip? Or do you leave everything until the last minute and scramble? 🤭 I swear each of these personalities finds the opposite person and eventually get married, maintaining their original role for years to come. SHARE with your partner or friend if they fall into 1 of these categories. ✈️ I was the “mom”, the one who would research the destination, create my packing list, book what we needed and literally map out my “favourite” to dos. Travel research was my hobby and it brought me joy! My husband was the one staying up late the night before our trip, playing music, and happily packing with not a care in the world. Over the years (mostly since having kids) I noticed a shift in our packing roles. My husband is planning a lot more before the trip and I’ve started to pack closer to the departure day. Thankfully, we still make sure we get what we need done! My husband leaves all the sleep routines in my hands because he trusts my expertise. Since I am a sleep consultant and travel enthusiast I have EXCITING news! A NEW service officially LAUNCHED today! Introducing ✨Restful Roaming✨ 1:1 support to prepare you before you set off on your family travels. This service is available to parents with children under the age of 5 who will be travelling in the next few months. If you’ve worked on building a healthy sleep foundation, you VALUE a full nights sleep, and want avoid a ruined vacation because of a sleep disruption, I am here to set you up with a plan. If your little one refuses the pack n play, mini crib, or struggles to fall asleep because of a new environment, you will have a plan to use. This will result in a full nights sleep without waiting until your back home from vacation. I can help with time zone recommendations/recovery, how to adjust naps, sleep support tools, packing recommendations, and answering your specific questions. DM me “restful roaming” to discuss further!🩵 #familytravel #familytravellers #familytraveltribe #toddlertravel #babytravel #familyvacation #momswhowander #momswhotravel #travelsupport #sleepsupport #parentsupport #familytrip #babymoon

Toddler Travel Hacks: Flying Edition ✈️ Follow @serenitydreamtravels to make your family vacation more enjoyable, seamless, and help you stress-less. Toddlers are often their best during the first half of the day. Usually parents find kids to be in better spirits in the morning vs. the last few hours before bed. We find flying in the morning most ideal. If the flight overlaps with nap time it's even better, we'd rather them nap on the flight vs trying to nap while navigating security/baggage. Toddlers want to be involved, a great way to incorporate your toddler is letting them pick their bag and pack it themselves (add items to your carry on you know are needed). Waiting to board the original flight or dealing with lay overs can feel daunting, especially if your flight is 2-4 hours or more. Have your toddler burn energy. Let them walk in the airport, let them run, bring them to a play area if the airport has one! Go on the escalator with them 500 times. Don't worry about other peoples opinions because burning energy pre flight will save your toddler from wanting to burn their energy ON the flight. Don't have an agenda for yourself, seriously. If you plan to read a book, bring it but don't plan on reading it unless your child is napping. When we focus our attention on them, filling their love cup, we have a much smoother flight! Stickers have literally saved us because they can be used in many different ways. Stick them to each other, stick them on mom/dad or their backpack. We play find it "can you find a sticker that has red". A blank book has done wonders, they pick stickers and place them anywhere they want. Have fun! View the flight as uninterrupted time to connect with your toddler and see the world through their eyes. 🙏Send to a parent who will be flying with their toddler soon.🗺️ #travelwithus #travelwithkids #travelwithtoddler #travelwithtoddlers #toddlertravel #toddlertravels #toddlertrends #toddlertrend #familytravel #familytravels #familytravelblog #familytravelblogger #familytraveltribe #familytraveller #flywithme #flywithus #instatravelgram #flyingwithkids #takethekids #frequentflyer #travelfam
