If you are about to have a new kitchen it’s a fantastic time to bring your love of travel into the home. Food is such an important part of travel for me that the kitchen seems the most obvious place to add some cultural inspiration from your holiday adventures. I’ve picked out 3 kitchen designs…
Not only is Dubrovnik a stunningly beautiful tourist destination but it’s also a fascinating place to visit with children. If you have realised that this part of Croatia ticks a lot of boxes for families then you are going to love these things to do in Dubrovnik with kids. The historic buildings and crystal clear…
Family travel is a whole different ball game to life before kids isn’t it? When it was just you finding the money for one or two flights and a room that was adequate for sleeping in the costs were a lot more manageable. This is why I want to talk about how to save money…
Drayton Manor’s Magical Christmas is back for 2018 and it’s the perfect day out for the festive season. We took Indie, 6 years old, and Brook, 4 years old, back to Drayton Manor Park after a 2 year break. I’m really not sure why we left it so long as it’s always been one of…
Isn’t this time of year just perfect to add some new family games to your collection? We have been trying our 2 new games from TOMY and wanted to share all the fun we’ve been having. Burp the Baby Game I’ll kick off with Burp the Baby. I wasn’t sure what I was going to…
Wearing jewellery is something that has really changed for me over the years. When I had more time on my hands I would change earrings and necklaces regularly to match whatever outfit I was wearing that day. It was more about fashion than connection back in those days. There came a point when wearing jewellery…
Hello readers! I’m sure you’ve noticed that Christmas is actually not that far away so I thought I’d share the first of my Christmas gift guides with you. These gifts are available from one of my favourite online gift stores, Prezzybox. I’ve been a huge fan of theirs for a few years now as not…
Old habits die hard. We all have some habits that annoy the people around us. Do you ever find yourself biting your nails, fidgeting, picking your nose, stealing or even gossiping? Quitting is not easy. For instance, stopping drinking is one of the more difficult things you would do in life. A lot of individuals…
I’ve been keeping a little secret from Indie and Brook. Very soon they are going to see Disney On Ice presents Dream Big at Nottingham’s Motorpoint Arena and I know it will be such a super surprise for them. I love taking them to live shows as it helps to bring their favourite characters to life and…
Unicorns are the must have toy this Christmas and we’ve been lucky enough to take a look at one of the latest to hit the shelves. My 4 and 6 year old girls where just a little bit excited when the Poopsie Unicorn Slime Surprise appeared in our living room for them to play with…
Do you remember a while back that we were getting ready to send teen back to university for his second year? Well, I’m not going to lie, there are two aspects to this change in our family that I really struggle with. Firstly, I miss him so much when he’s gone. I thought I would…
Currently in the news, there’s a bit of a strange political ordeal going on in Spain. It’s not something that has affected very much to Spain at the moment. However, what it has stirred are feelings of great pride in Catalonia. Regardless of your opinion on the Independence Movement, Barcelona is being talked about more…
For most of our lives we will do what is standard. The first time you go on holiday, you do what everyone else has done and currently does. You’re going to use the same travel agencies, use the same websites to book things everyone else wants and you’ll go about your holiday in a very…
Right readers! Perhaps you can help me out here. How on earth did I not know about the huge savings that can be made on train travel and days out with the Family & Friends Railcard from National Rail? I’m flabbergasted that I’ve been in the dark this long to be honest but fortunately this…
October half term meant the chance for the girls and I to enjoy a a short break in Chester with Roomzzz Aparthotel. None of us have visited Chester before, which is pretty ridiculous for a family that loves city breaks. We’d also not stayed at Roomzzz Aparthotel either, so we were really looking forward…
I start getting ready for Christmas in October, so you won’t be shocked to know that I like to know what to expect on a festive family day out. If you have a similar mindset and are thinking about a trip to the Warner Brothers Studio Tour with your resident Harry Potter fans, these are the…
