I have been so conscious recently of how a relatively minor health issue can have huge consequences for a young child in the early years of their developmental progress. If you’ve been following the blog recently, you’ll have probably heard about my daughter’s glue ear and her hearing. Good eye health and vision is equally as…
Is it possible to feel like you have had a proper getaway by just spending 24 hours at a hotel? We visited the Belfry Hotel & Resort in Birmingham for an overnight stay in the summer to find out if it could be done and here’s how we got on. Myself and all three kids packed…
I personally love Wagamama, and I really want my kids to love it too. The food is always fresh, healthy and super tasty and I think it’s a great place for kids to experience Japanese food. Wagamama is a great restaurant for kids with its bench-style eating experience and child-friendly chopsticks, but what did my…
Have you ever wanted to stay in a Hobbit Hide? I think it’s definitely a dream for most Lord of the Rings fans, and it’s definitely possible at Camp Katur! Glamping has made a really big impact on the outdoor holiday scene and we’ve been trying it out for size on Zena’s Suitcase. We were…
September is here and the autumn button has been pressed but how do you keep having fun as a family in the colder months? The summer is all about going outdoors and making the most of the sunshine and we are often left wanting to keep that momentum going, despite the change in season. I’ve…
Is going to Florida on your bucket list? Perhaps you are already making plans to visit the area? Whether you are thinking of travelling to Florida now or in the future I wanted to bring this debate to the table for you. Where should you stay when you are visiting the Sunshine state? When people…
I thought I’d give you a little update on how we are getting on with treating my daughters’ glue ear. The issue with her hearing and speech development is certainly coming more pronounced as she gets older and she is definitely aware that something isn’t quite right. She was sat at the computer the other…
Bath is a beautiful city in England and there’s absolutely no reason why you can’t enjoy a family visit here with children. These things to do in Bath with kids will inspire you and your little ones to enjoy the very best of what this historic UK city has to offer. Bath had been on my…
If you want to make the most of a quick road trip, it’s a good idea to plan somewhere to visit on the way to your destination. We decided to visit Brimham Rocks on our recent weekend trip to North Yorkshire, and felt that the best way to share our experience was in photos. The…
We were recently invited to stay at the Travelodge Bath Waterside Hotel to find out what the new SuperRooms had to offer hotel guests. We were really excited as the hotel has recently been refurbished and were very much looking forward to using it as our base to explore Bath for a few days. The…
When my daughter started school last year there were a few tips I had forgotten about buying school stationary and equipment. Bearing in mind my oldest son was starting university in the same year, it had been some time since I’d started a child on their school journey and Smiggle wasn’t around back in those…
Our arrival in Bath was a little bit stressful to say the least. I was not at all prepared for the restrictive one way system and lack of parking in the city following our drive from Dartmoor. Once we’d checked in at our hotel we booked an Uber and headed straight to Jamie’s Italian. There…
When it comes to great kids sandals I really think Teva have really got things sewn up. We shared with you last year just how much the kids and I loved this brand, but this year we are even more impressed with the style, comfort and durability Teva sandals have to offer. Firstly, Teva make…
The summer has played havoc with my Slimming World progress. I really believe that routine plays an important part in any weight loss journey, and the school holidays can really put a spanner in the works. It got me thinking about easy meals I could make and I came up with this super tasty Slimming…
Weekends at home do not need to be dull, and you can always find an attraction or exhibit close to home that the whole family will enjoy. We had heard a lot about the Dinosaurs of China exhibition running at Wollaton Hall in Nottingham and decided to venture to down to see what all the fuss…
