If there’s one thing I wish my kids could have more of in the UAE, it’s time spent outdoors discovering and exploring, instead of being stuck inside in the A/C avoiding the heat. • So when the weather is as amazing as it has been lately, we take full advantage and spend as much time outdoors as possible! • If you haven’t already visited Umm Al Emarat Park in Abu Dhabi, you’re missing out! From sprawling lawns, to huge playgrounds, a petting zoo, a splash pad and a mini rainforest (a big hit with my islander babies), this has got to be one of our all time favourite spots in Abu Dhabi. • #myabudhabi #abudhabi #inabudhabi #uae #myuae #abudhabiblogger #dubailife #dubaibloggers #dubaiblogger #desertlife #ummalemaratpark #getoutside #saveyourdirhams #theshiftuae

Can you believe it? Christmas is coming! As an expat, this usually means either traveling abroad or hosting visitors from overseas. And with that comes lots of spending! This year, we’re adjusting our Christmas plans and expectations based on the high cost of airfares, hotels and entertainment over the holiday season. Instead we’re thinking of alternative options to the typical extravagant expat Christmas holiday. We plan to enjoy the gorgeous UAE weather with friends and have a backyard BBQ, sing some carols in the desert and make fun memories at some of the local attractions. What are you doing to save money this Christmas? #myabudhabi #abudhabiculture #uae #myuae #mydubai #abudhabiblogger #abudhabimums #dubaimums #dubaiblogger #christmasindubai #christmasinabudhabi #uaechristmas #desertchristmas #saveyourdirhams #theshiftuae

Glorious weather is here! We’re celebrating with a weekend away in Ras Al Khaimah. The @doubletreemarjanisland offers affordable ground floor rooms with direct beach access and enough beds and space for the 5 of us. Time to make some beautiful memories. 😊🙌🏽 #rasalkhaimah #rak #myuae #abudhabi #myaubdhabi #mydubai #abudhabiblogger #dubaiblogger #abudhabimums #dubaimums #beachholiday #halfterm

Street names and street signs?! Are we still in Abu Dhabi?! We were excited to finally have a street name to call our own this week. Have the street sign fairies visited your Abu Dhabi neighborhood this week? —— #theshiftuae #abudhabi #myabudhabi #myabudhabilife #uae #myuae #streetsigns #abudhabiculture #mydubai #mydubailife #expatlife #itsthelittlethings #abudhabiblogger #abudhabimums #abudhabibloggers #dubaiblogger #dubaimums #dubaimummyblogger

We recently invested in an annual individual membership for Louvre Abu Dhabi. This means our family of five (2 adults, 3 kids) can now visit our favourite UAE museum as much as we like for less than the cost of 4 visits for 2 paying adults. Our kids love the Children’s Museum and we get access to all of the featured exhibits, plus 20% off on f&b and retail. With visitor season upon us, we think we got a great deal.

Flu season has hit our home with a vengeance and this work-from-home mama is feeling all the mummy-guilt for leaving three sick kiddos at home with a babysitter in order to meet some tight deadlines. #balancingact #tryingtodoitall #bringinghometheturkeybacon #abudhabiblogger #abudhabimums #abudhabi #dubaimums #dubaiblogger #myabudhabi #mydubai #uaelife
