We’ve been thinking a lot about where we want to visit in the UK this year as a family. One of our travel goals for 2017 is to show the children more of the country where they live. We are lucky enough to have a lot of beautiful countryside, really historic places as well as…
Are you still deciding where to book your holiday for this year? It can be a tough decision to make when you want everyone to have a good time and there is so much choice out there. Sometimes we can’t get everything we love about travelling as a family out of one trip, so we…
When Daddy got back from America. I told him I was going to see my Dad. It wasn’t something we had really spoke about before he left. We were to busy dealing with his fear of flying, and to be honest this is very much about my story. The next day, I dropped the kids…
Later this year, we are heading to the island of Menorca for the first time for a family holiday. When I found out that this relatively small island had 70 Menorca beaches in total I decided I needed to narrow it down a little. We are staying on the island for a week, and we…
My 2 year old daughter seemed to become very picky about what clothes she wanted to wear a few months ago. We couldn’t quite figure out why she was picking certain clothes over others. She hasn’t worn leggings or jeans for a long time, as we know she prefers to wear dresses. But then she…
I must admit, I do like to have carpets in the house. Even better than carpets, I like to have clean carpets, but when you have a young family this can be quite a challenge. Children spill things, it’s just a part of life. Cups of orange juice get knocked over, jam on toast gets…
Religion isn’t something I often talk about, but something happened this week and I have a few things to get off my chest. I go to a play group every week with my two year old, and it’s happens to be based in a church. It’s a lovely playgroup, with some amazing volunteers, a great…
Last year, Princess and I were invited to London to take a sneak peak at the new Spring/Summer children’s collection from Nutmeg. Nutmeg range is sold in Morrisons stores up and down the country, and provide affordable, fashionable clothes for babies and children. We love any excuse to visit London, but when I told my…
This year we want to visit more castles, and in particular we want to visit Warwick Castle. I’ve heard so many good things about what a great day out Warwick Castle is, I think we, as a family, will love it. I was talking to a friend about it just the other day, and she…
I went along to my regular Slimming World meeting last week, not really expecting to see any weight loss. My week had become over shadowed by one piece of cake I had indulged in while I was out running errands. To be honest, it was a pretty big piece of cake so I dread to…
Menorca is a very popular holiday destination for UK families, and if you haven’t been yet it really is worth moving this travel destination to the top of your family bucket list. Menorca is a small island off the coast of Spain, and is part of the collection of islands called the Balearics. Despite being…
For the last few weeks, it’s been all about managing my husband’s fear of flying. How ironic is it that someone who loves to travel married someone who has a panic attack just at the thought of getting on a plane? When we first got together, he covered up his fear of flying well. We…
If I was to say let’s go on a city break, that’s bound to snap anyone out of the January Blues isn’t it? Whether you are a big fan of Valentine’s Day or not, it can still be a really useful prompt to think about celebrating your relationship and making some important memories together. Christmas…
We literally love a good family friendly festival, and everyone who goes to Camp Festival raves about what an amazing time they’ve had. We are so jealous that we haven’t been yet, but we are hoping that this year will change that. Bestival is celebrating it’s tenth birthday bash, and we’ve got everything crossed that…
When we are choosing a gift for a child, we try to give them so much more than just a present. We want to give them a gift that will help develop an interest or foster a passion that will continue through their lives. Gifts that help children develop in a positive way are the…
Something has been playing on my mind recently, and to be honest it’s not something I really talk about on here very much. I think it was Christmas that made me think about it more than usual. As a blogger I was reading lots of lovely posts about how Christmas is a lovely time for…
