{Giveaway} The story behind this first pic is that I wanted to take a shot of our whole family and asked everyone to line up at the cliff.

The girls were game but the little brother refused and ran off while the rest of us tried to do it swiftly. Alas, he caught sight of us and dashed up to Mama crying "No, I don't want!!!" and tried to pull me out with all his might - which was exactly the pose that the scene asked for. Upon seeing that, we were all in fits but quickly asked our friend to snap a shot - and ended up with this classic. Haha.

Nonetheless, I have to say that the kids were mostly cooperative when doing the poses and even came up with their own ideas too. Phew! I think a visit to Trick Eye Museum is fun only when you and your kids are willing to do the posing and even a bit of acting when it comes to the AR (augmented reality) effects since they can only be seen afterwards. Check out how Asher climbed up a bamboo with a panda, how Ariel danced in the rain and how Angel fought off zombies (full video on my YouTube channel at https://youtu.be/OGjK1JG6rCI)

The XR Museum app is free for download and you can use it to take both photos and videos at the animated installations - these are labelled at the side - which make up the majority of the museum. I have to say it really makes a huge difference and the kids enjoyed seeing the compilation of their silly antics and wacky poses. This was definitely a fun outing to remember and I'm just glad to hear the kids say that they enjoyed it lots!

TRAVELING AND WORRIED ABOUT JET LAG?!?! Here are some of mama's tried-and-tested top tips!

***

Estimate about one day for every hour difference just to give you some expectation of how long it might take.

Be gentle but also go with the flow. If your little one is hungry at her usual feeding times from destination of origin or wanting a nap...feed her, nap her, etc.

You are much better off taking half an hour to give her a little snack at 3am (lights are low, quiet, no animated loud playing, little snack or warm cup of milk/nurse then back to bed) over trying to fight her to go back to sleep for the next 3 hours on a hungry stomach that will turn into screaming and finally everyone waking up and giving up and starting the day exhausted and cranky.

***

Similar to that, there is also no point trying to keep her up when she's clearly exhausted because she will just be really really angry at the world and fall asleep eventually anyway. If her body is tired, and she's asking for a nap. Put her in the carrier/stroller and let her nap while you go about your day.

True story, our daughter fell asleep as we got to Disneyworld for their last night of Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party that we had specially bought tickets for.

Instead of trying to keep her up, we let her rest and take a little nap, enjoyed that special time of just my husband and I exploring and soaking it all in on a special date.

When she woke up, she was in a great mood and ready to party! Because she wasn't tired, hungry, or overstimulated, she could fully take it all in - the decorations, the characters, the fireworks, the magic, and it is one of our very most precious memories as a family.

***
BUT the key is also to still go with the flow and slowly adjust to the new time zone. As much as you can, try to work them towards acclimatizing.

If it's morning and you have something planned, go ahead and take her out. Eat breakfast at breakfast time, etc. Visit family, go out to the park, sight see. Be flexible but don't let jet lag limit you. Do whatever it is that you were wanting to do but just build in time and grace for you both to adjust.

***

Traveling with little ones is always an adventure but also what an incredible time together. To be able to introduce all these new cultures and experiences and to be there for so many of their firsts. Our daughter will grow up calling many places home and it is both a privilege and sometimes hard but also remember that half the battle is perception - are you going into it saying bring on the crazy or are you dreading expecting the absolute worst?

***

Glass half full, you got this, mama!
