I don’t know about you, but to me time is precious and as a result I shop online for most things, including travel shoes to take on holiday. It seems like a pretty big risk as I also believe poor footwear can make or break a trip. As you will already know, I’m often chasing…
Just recently we’ve been using grey to update the decor in our house. It’s a really on trend colour at the moment but the thought of using it to decorate a bathroom can feel a bit daunting. If you struggle with interior design, don’t worry as I’m right here to help point you in the…
I love reading a bedtime story to the girls. It’s a really special part of the day as well as being an important part of their nightly bedtime routine. When its story time they know it’s time to snuggle under their warm duvets and cuddle up with their favourite toys. They listen intently to what’s…
I personally believe that finding the right diet product or slender plan is the key to loosing weight successfully. There are lots of weight loss products out there and it can quickly feel very overwhelming when you are looking to start a diet. It’s important to choose a weight loss plan that is going to…
When I saw all the family friendly facilities at The Esplanade in Newquay, I absolutely had to say yes to our invite to stay at their hotel during February half term. This was the first stop on our epic Cornwall road trip, and a very welcome end to our 6 hour drive from Nottingham to start…
I sit here writing this post just after we’ve just spent a fabulous week exploring the beautiful county of Cornwall during the half term break. The idea of a road trip is something that really excites me. The thought of open roads, amazing scenery and the ability to travel wherever you want are just a…
Playing games as a family is such an easy and fun way to spend quality time together. It’s also a fab way for young children to work on skills like sharing and taking in turns. There’s also the idea of learning rules and following them to help everyone enjoy taking part in playing the game….
When I began the drive from Nottingham to Surrey, the thought of some great Italian food certainly kept me going, especially when I hit the M25 getting around London. Fortunately, the Italian cookery masterclass hosted by luxury villa specialist Bookings For You and the Giovannini family certainly did not disappoint and made the 4 and a…
Before our visit to Pirate’s Quest in Newquay, I thought I had best prepare the girls for what might lie ahead. As they are only 3 and 5 years old, they do find some things scary and I didn’t want this to spoil their experience of Newquay pirates. We talked about how pirates who lived…
If you are bored of the same old holidays – perhaps lounging on the beach no longer holds quite the appeal it once did – and are looking to try something a little different, then look no further. There really are lots of different holidays out there that might tick all the boxes for you….
PizzaExpress is one of our favourite family friendly restaurants and when we heard that they had teamed up with the World Book Day campaign we couldn’t wait to pop down and find out what it was all about. We also got to eat some amazing pizza, which helps a lot of course! As parents we…
We wondered whether we were being led down a rabbit hole when google maps pointed us in the direction of a rather unassuming street in Mayfair in search of Mr Fogg’s Residence. This was to be the last stop for our theatre weekend in London and we certainly wanted to end on a high note. We…
Mother’s Day will be with us on Sunday 11th March, and it’s a lovely opportunity to show your wonderful Mum just how much she mean’s to you. Now, there are all different kinds of Mum’s out there, and I’m very aware that one size does not fit all. However, custom blankets with photo of their…
Home is where the heart is and no matter where you go to for work, you can’t wait to return home. You feel the most comfortable in your home and it is where you feel free to express yourself. Of course, all of us have a general idea of how we want our dream home…
One of my very favourite trips in recent years was my visit to Iceland, just over a year ago. While I was there, I was keeping an eye out to see if families were traveling with kids, and if I felt it was a destination my brood would enjoy. To my surprise there were a…
Going out for dinner is without a doubt one of my favourite things to do, so it simply had to feature during our recent theatre weekend in London. My sister and I were very excited to be invited to Shikumen in Aldgate to sample their highly acclaimed Chinese food on Saturday evening. The Shikumen restaurant…
