We were absolutely delighted when Premier Inn invited us as a family to stay in their Lewins Mead Hotel in Bristol. It’s the best compliment a blogger can have when you are able to build a relationship with a brand you love like this. You might remember, I recently stayed at Premier Inn Stansted Airport before my…

In fact, it should be an enjoyable experience for everyone involved. You can all try new things, spend some quality time together and broaden your horizons. You could opt for…
I can’t believe it’s a week ago now that we were singing ‘Meet The Veggies’ with Mr Bloom and dodging raving Grannies on shopping trolleys at Larmer Tree Festival. It all seems quite surreal now. We had been looking forward to going for weeks, with everything crossed for a dose of sunshine for our three day…
Mauritius has very much become the home of the affordable luxury family holiday with over 100,000 British tourists visiting the island every year. The climate offers sunshine all year round which makes for the perfect winter getaway. It’s beauty is encased in the still blue waters of the Indian Ocean and it’s tropical white sands…
We are heading off to Larmer Tree Festival in just two weeks and we are so excited. We had such a great time last year, and we are hoping for an even better experience this time round with the girls being a bit older. Last year was our first festival camping experience as a family…
I often get asked for ideas for how to keep kids busy while travelling and to be honest there is no one simple answer.

We have had such a great time as Get Set, Splash bloggers for HUGGIES® Little Swimmers®. Water fun is something kids and parents can get so much from and it can be such an easy and simple thing to enjoy. As children’s activities go it can be easy on the pocket too.
Dubai probably isn’t the first place that you think of when you are planning an affordable family holiday. It’s a holiday destination that conjures up pictures of huge yachts and luxurious hotels, so it must cost a fortune to go there, right? Actually, it might not be as costly as you might think. Dubai has…
I have literally been looking forward to going back to Larmer Tree Festival since our first visit last year. As a family it was our first experience of camping with children and going to a family friendly festival and it really was a lot of fun. We were blown away by the quality of the…
The festival season will soon be upon us, and I for one am very excited. I missed out on festivals when I was younger and I thought it was an experience that I would never get to have. I’ve since realised that festivals come in many shapes and sizes and that families get to enjoy the…
Whether you choose to visit a theme park, take a traditional seaside holiday or visit a child friendly resort, family holidays can be great fun. However, as your children grow and develop into teenagers with their own ideas of what a holiday should be, you’ll be faced with a new set of challenges which require…
If you have been keeping up with the blog recently you’ll know that teen and I are heading off to New York next month. To say we are a bit excited about all the things we are going to do is an understatement. Packing for teen will of course come down to me, as he…
Holidays have been a really important part of our family life for as long as I can remember. Whether it’s visiting family in Scotland, taking a cruise or going abroad for our holidays we have enjoyed all of our experiences together. Some have gone better than others, granted, but it’s the being together that really…
Yelloh! Village is quite possibly the best active family holiday available in France and Spain. Described as Europe’s finest open-air hotels I’ve been finding out all about taking a holiday at Yelloh! Village. It really sounds like it is a great experience and has something to keep everyone in the family busy.
Seeing as tomorrow we will be flying with children to Barcelona it seemed obvious to share with you my 5 top tips for flying with a toddler and a preschooler. Going on holiday with kids can be an amazing experience, but it can also be quite stressful. I have spoken to a lot of Mum’s…
