23/01/2025

One of our favourite reviews hit the nail on the head -"Since we have returned, I have noticed my kids playing more imaginatively and harmoniously together. You really can’t put a price on that. It was a very enriching in all aspects experience and we can’t wait to do another one."

Through our recent survey we asked you if there are any tools that make your travels easier as a family… and it looks like the solutions are not there yet.

The complexity of traveling with little ones cannot seem to be addressed with a one magic tool.

BUT we don’t look for shortcuts- on our trips you will experience slow, nutritious food, family atmosphere and competent, loving childcare.

So, if you want to experience and adventure with your little ones in 2025- head to our website and book a room for Provence, Portugal or Italy for this new year.

We asked for your tips for parents traveling for the first time with their little one...
Although there is absolutely no consensus on how to do it right ( just like in parenting) all the answers were very relatable.

Our favs? Slides 8 and 9...mostly because we are the one stop shop for those tips to come true.

What tips are missing?

When you wanted to start the month with a new, healthy routine, and all fitness influencers tell you that 15 min a day is all you need. BUT you are a parent and this is the type of 15 min you get.

We think we cracked the Christmas gift code: 2-3 uninterrupted hours in a clean house with absolutely nothing to do. But really, what if we took it a step further? 🤔 How about a chance to recharge completely at an ilo retreat?

Would a gift card for a weekend of peace, connection, and quality childcare be on your wishlist?

Parenting can be isolating, not just because it’s lonely, but because our culture often leaves parents feeling disconnected and unsupported.

At ilo, we’re creating something different—a space where parents can slow down, recharge, and feel part of a community that truly understands. A week where stress takes a backseat, and being present feels possible again.

We believe in advocating for a culture that values and supports parents, so they don’t have to navigate it all alone.

Parenting in the digital age? We feel you! 🙋‍♀️ Our team’s been caught in the always-on loop too (hello, endless pings 📱🔔). But we’ve found some sanity-saving tips to reclaim family time—think digital curfews, device-free zones, and even strategic bad Wi-Fi on our retreats. 😉 Check out our latest blog for real-life tips from parents just like you. Let’s unplug together! ✨

What’s that “context”?
Sometimes it can look like : laundry is done, clean sheets, both partners have taken a shower, she slept well last night, children sound asleep, she feels deeply connected with her partner.

Needless to say that reaching that scenario becomes increasingly difficult after becoming parents.

So what can you do to get on the same frequency with your partner?

Happy Friday fellow parents!😉

With errands, chores, and family duties, it's no surprise...

At ilo, we believe parents deserve way more than just 32 minutes, which is why we offer daily Montessori childcare and plenty of downtime to recharge.

As the temperatures in Europe are starting to drop, here is a throw back to the warm sunny days of last spring we spent in Provence.

We loved it so much that we are replicating this retreat for families in May 2025. And there are 2 different weeks available for you to book.

Will you join us in exploring the Provençal magic next year ?

Feeling burned out? Same here! 😅 Let’s be real—not all of us are Rihanna, pulling off a Super Bowl performance while 7 months pregnant. Yet, somehow, we’re all expected to juggle work, kids, and life with superhero precision. It’s exhausting! 😮‍💨

What if the secret is in doing less? More millennial parents are embracing the "less is more" mindset—focusing on what matters most and cutting out the extra stress.

💡 So, how do you simplify your life as a parent? Drop your best tips below ⬇️ and let’s make more room for rest and joy.

✨ If you’re an 80s or 90s kid and feel like you spent half your childhood at your grandparents’ house, you’re probably right! 👵👴 But times have changed for millennial parents, and the grandparent hack isn’t as common as it used to be. Curious why?

We just published a blog post inspired by a poll we did in our stories a few days ago, where less than 30% of parents said they rely on grandparents for childcare. 😮 Dive into the full blog to see how family dynamics are shifting and how parents are finding new ways to balance rest and adventure! 🌍💛

🌞 As summer waves goodbye and autumn whispers hello, let’s take a moment to celebrate the beauty of seasonal change! September 23rd marks the official end of summer with the autumn equinox, when day and night are in perfect balance- unlike many of us 😁 Once upon a time, families celebrated Mabon, the harvest festival, gathering to feast on nature's bounty. But in our bustling urban lives, it’s easy to forget these seasonal shifts. As parents of little ones, let’s make a conscious effort to embrace these changes together! 🌼🧡 This week, why not set up a mini harvest celebration at home? Gather your children and explore the vibrant colors of fall—create art with leaves, bake some apple treats, or even take a nature walk to collect treasures. 🍂🍎 Let’s cherish these moments and teach our little ones the magic of nature’s cycles. Say goodbye to summer, and welcome the cozy charm of autumn! 🍂✨ #Goodbyesummer #familytraditions #Urbanparenting ##celebrate #littleadventurers #naturelovers #mumlife #dadlife
