HI, I’M ALEX aka MUM IN THE CITY

Welcome and thank you for stopping by!

I have always loved to travel and explore beautiful places. In 2021, my husband and I moved from the suburbs of England to New York City, with our two-year-old in tow. This experience was a dream come true and changed our whole outlook on life. We welcomed our second baby boy in NYC, then moved to London in 2023, where we currently live.

On this blog, you’ll find tips and guides for city travel with children. This includes advice on visiting popular landmarks, kid-friendly activities, and suggestions for budget-friendly exploration in an urban setting. I also love style and finding the most aesthetic Instagram spots.

I have always been a city lover and want to help you explore these amazing destinations with your family. I just love to be a tourist in my own city and visit the most popular landmarks but we also discover and share hidden gems and local tips.

On this blog, I share city guides and tips on how to enjoy life with children, without losing your pre-child identity. So if you also like, iconic cities, beautiful places, cute cafes and Instagrammable spots and want to make them family-friendly, this blog is for you!
