“We booked this trip about a week in advance of our arrival after finding a last minute deal that seemed too good to be true. The catch was that the flight here wasn’t direct, and Tommy wasn’t too keen on the idea.
“I insisted that 18 hours of hell in paradise was worth it. We honestly didn’t know what to expect but wow we feel so lucky. It’s perfect here’.

“The flights were long, but Alf actually slept most of the time (I even got to see half of the Traitors. It’s definitely the best reality show I’ve seen in a long time! Anyway, I digress.”
“So the resort is absolutely amazing. It feels very unspoilt here, almost giving you a travel vibe! The food is absolutely amazing, the staff are all so lovely and I’ve never seen Alf so happy!’.
She continued, “It was just the perfect way to celebrate our anniversary and our final time together as a family of three on Sharks. Alf is obsessed with “Babu-Hai” and loves naming all sharks.

“There isn’t really a kids club, apparently it’s under renovation, but it’s very child friendly and there are activities around the pool most days! We didn’t mind this trip though as we love to all hang out together and Alf still sleeps a few hours a day which gives us time to rest.
“Even his sleep was amazing, despite the time difference – he slept between 9pm and 7:30pm, which is better than at home. We may have to stay out here!’.
Before I add: “The perfect start to the new year and I feel very happy and content. Anyhow, if you have any questions, let me know.

Sharing a snap of herself staring at Alfie, she made it clear that she’s recently started to “really enjoy this little guy’s company.”
The influencer wrote in full: “May I say something that’s probably a bit controversial but maybe a lot of people think so?
“I’m starting to really enjoy this little guy’s company. I always loved him and was a really good and caring mother. But I found a lot of baby/parent stuff pretty boring.

“I would dread being alone with him for any length of time. I just wished I had my old life back or felt like I had to pretend to enjoy motherhood, although I really, really didn’t enjoy most of it.
“I mean, the newborn days were great because I just sat around a lot and watched movies with my boobs out there. But I just found entertaining him from about 6 months a bit boring. Like I have to pretend I’m into baby stuff.
“But now I really enjoy being with him. It feels like we’re interacting. I love hanging out with him: reading, playing games or just chasing him.”
“It’s nice to see him experience the world and learn things. It feels more natural and less like a chore. He’s funny and nice and pretty awesome and I don’t mind not doing the old stuff.
