Girl code: Travelling is every mum’s nightmare

When travelling with their children, mothers end up packing for 'just in case' (Photo: Shutterstock)

The season of travel is here and we are about to see mothers and their brood carrying the whole of their house to the village. As a mother, nothing eats into our time and energy like ensuring we pack everything we might need in the village, especially if we are traveling with young children.

Before I became a mother, I travelled very light. I would even go to the village for a month with just a small bag. However, when my baby came on board, things changed. The first time I travelled with her to the village, I lost count of the number of bags I carried. Anyone watching me probably thought I was travelling with 12 children, each with their own bag.
