When you make any kind of resolution for the year ahead, it’s always productive to take a moment to reflect on how things are going. With the end of the summer fast approaching it’s a fantastic idea to check in with those travel goals and see what you’ve ticked off the list. Travel memories always…
Buckland Abbey is just a few minutes drive from the Moorland Garden Hotel and very close to Yelverton, so it’s a perfect family day out if you are visiting Devon. As you may remember from our review of the hotel, we had to postpone our visit to Buckland Abbey due to the rain. After spending…
We have had a fantastic time this summer, making lots of memories and exploring new places. Our first visit to Camp Bestival was certainly memorable. I don’t think you have truly experienced a festival until you have been challenged by the mud and the rain with two small children in tow. Otter spotting in Dartmoor…
We reached the Moorland Garden Hotel in Devon on a complete high. It was the final hotel on our moor otter spotting tour and we had just come from the nearby town of Yelverton. Our excitement stemmed from our visit to The Rock Inn. During our otter spotting escapades we would try and guess which…
The kids will be back to school in a few weeks, and we’ve been topping up with some essential items before we start back in September. Debenhams is a great department store offering a great range and quality in it’s back to school range. One investment I needed to make this year was to buy…
During our visit to Devon this summer we were invited to the Two Bridges Hotel which can be found in the very heart of the exceptionally beautiful Dartmoor National Park. It’s also the sister hotel of The Bedford Hotel, where we also had the pleasure of staying for the night during our visit to Tavistock. On arrival, we…
I was really inspired by how much fun my daughter and I had on our road trip around the south of England this summer. Travelling with kids can be a fantastic experience for the whole family, but how you approach it can make all the difference. We very much enjoyed spotting otters in Devon, and…
Kids have the funniest habits when it comes to food don’t they? My daughters love Petits Filous, but they think they should only eat it for breakfast. They love their routine so much, that if I try and step out of that, even slightly, they look at me as if I am from outer space….
You might wonder why I talk about our favourite toys on the blog, but when I get an email asking if we’d like to review Peppa’s Family Home playset, I simply can’t say no. If I know the girls are going to love it, before they’ve even seen it I will always say yes. I…
I’ll be bringing you a few posts talking about the brands we are loving for those important back to school purchases this year. School shoes are probably at the top of everyones list for being an important investment for the new school year. Today I’m talking about the Princess Elza shoes from start-rite that my…
Given how large Florida is, it shouldn’t surprise that it can satisfy a broad range of tastes – including those of families. Indeed, it might not surprise you at all given how well-known Florida’s Walt Disney World Resort is. That is indeed a fantastic attraction, and I will soon return to that subject. Before then,…
We had been looking forward to arriving at the Bedford Hotel in Tavistock for a few days by the time we checked in. We had been camping at a festival over the weekend, and the lack of hot showers and mud had finally got to us. We began to fill with excitement as sat nav…
Families that travel regularly can often end up being away from home for special occasions like birthdays and anniversaries. Whether I am at home celebrating or I am in holiday accommodation, I still want to add some personal touches to our celebrations. Making a fuss and ensuring that my loved ones feel special on their…
It’s no secret that this summer has been a complete washout and our My Little Pony Muck Boots have literally been a god send. As soon as the school holidays started so did the rain. It just puts a dampener on things doesn’t it? For a family, things just become more hard work. Going on…
The summer holidays are now in full swing and keeping the kids busy is probably the easiest way to keep everyone in the family happy over the summer. Having just come back from our holiday it’s now about finding day to day activities that will keep my girls happy. I think that anyone that has siblings…
Buying new school shoes is part and parcel of getting ready for the new school term isn’t it? My daughters both love getting a new pair of shoes. They also have to have the same things, so when we found out that Diechmann were offering buy one get one half price on their school shoes…
