Stacey wrote: “Here We Go. Off on our very first adventure together… Rose and Belle’s first plane ride and ours as a family since before covid when Rex was a few months old.
“We are all so excited to make some special memories. I think I was most nervous about the journey there but we’ve made it safe and sound and still sane.”
Stacey then went on to praise the airplane staff and fellow passengers, adding: “A massive thank you to the lovely passengers who were so chatty and sweet to us and the kids.
“Also thank you to kindest air stewards who played with Rex and Rose so nicely and made them feel so comfortable @etihad you have the most amazing staff and captain Rexy can’t wait to fly us home.”
Stacey opens up about being a mum-of-five
In March Stacey confessed on her Instagram that she often finds it difficult as a mum of five children.
Stacey said in the message: “I’ve found it easy to tell myself that I’m failing or doing a rubbish job. I never tell myself how well I’m doing.”
She admitted having “three children under three and two teenagers” is “not easy.” But Stacey admitted she was “proud” and “felt like a superhuman” after a long day of looking after her kids.
Stacey concluded: “Sorry for the essay. Just a little reminder that you’re doing amazing, even when you feel like you’re not. You’re so incredible – don’t forget to tell yourself that sometimes.”
