When my eldest was born I didn’t really think about kids savings at all. I was quite young myself, and having just had a baby things like preparing for going to university seemed like a long way off. I didn’t open a child savings account for him and I didn’t think to save regularly using…
If you have children in primary school my guess is at some point you will have come into contact with head lice and lice eggs. Because head lice are so common in children I thought it would be helpful to talk about how to get rid of head lice today. In September I will have…
Did you know that you can now stay at Devon’s best family day out attraction, Crealy Resort and Adventure Park? We were invited to stay in a safari tent at Crealy Meadows with our 2 kids aged 4 and 6 years old. It could well be the best glamping in Devon for kids and here’s why….
As a parent, the one thing I’ve really noticed over the years is how competitive the world has become. We hear year after year how it’s more difficult for children to achieve high grades in their GCSE’s or A Level results. Getting to University is incredibly competitive and children have to work so hard to…
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…
Happy Birthday my beautiful little lady. You had a very special 3rd birthday as we were on holiday at Yelloh! Village Les Grands Pins.

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…
Sponsored post in association with American Express ® I believe that travel should be as much a part of our lives when we have a family as it was before we had children, and so I’m delighted to announce my latest partnership with American Express, who agree with me.

Essential tips for how to cope with extreme 4 year old tantrums. Helpful strategies & parenting advice.
We all dream don’t we? Some of our dreams quickly become faded memories, but others seem to stay with us for longer for some reason. I wonder if they leave this lasting impression as there is something they are trying to tell us. I don’t mean in a psychic way, as I really don’t subscribe…
We have had such a great time as Get Set, Splash bloggers for HUGGIES® Little Swimmers®. Water fun is something kids and parents can get so much from and it can be such an easy and simple thing to enjoy. As children’s activities go it can be easy on the pocket too.
As we get closer to spring, I’m starting to think about how to make the garden fun for kids to play in. I know some people like the idea of having a swimming pool in their garden and that’s fine if that’s something you want. You could even take a look at using someone like…
I absolutely love that I am able to share so many trips to the theatre with my family. I really appreciate being able to share with them different opportunities to enjoy entertainment in all it’s various guises. After we saw Going On A Bear Hunt, we had the opportunity to see a completely different kind of…
Orchard Toys recently got in touch with us to see if we would like to try out some of their range of games. We already have a few Orchard Toys games and puzzles, but I hadn’t realised that they are all made from 100% recycled materials and are manufactured in Britain. When I realised this…
City Atlas is a wonderful way to help your child explore different cities all over the world. It’s a lovely book to start developing an appetite for travelling and understanding different cultures. We were recently sent a copy of the City Atlas by Georgia Cherry & Martin Haake, published by Wide Eyed Editions and here’s what we thought of…
