When Surdoca reached out to us and asked if we would review their car seat organiser for kids, I knew we had to say yes. In all these years of years of going on road trips with the kids we have never had any car seat organisers for the kids. This could be why the…
Una the Unicorn Trunki Suitcase was gifted to us for the purposes of this review. Una the Unicorn Trunki arrived just in time to join us on our family holiday to Malta. Brook was beyond excited to receive her very own trunki suitcase, and they fact that it was Una the Unicorn made it an…
This advertisement feature was written in collaboration with LEGO City When we received an invitation to the attend the LEGO City Hero Academy event at the London Transport Museum I knew that myself and the girls had to attend.

I’m really not a huge fan of having a bored 4 year old and 6 year old at home over the summer holidays. Can you relate? We’ve actually been on the look out for some new days out near Nottingham to take Brook and Indie for this very reason. Our visit to Timber Festival in…
Back to school is a really exciting time of year. The kids are recharged from their summer break, and some of them are even looking forward to getting back to the school routine and seeing their friends. My daughter was actually mortified when I told her there was 4 weeks left of the school holidays…
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….
We are a family who loves to travel, as you’ve probably guessed already. It’s taken some practice to make getting around with 2, and sometimes 3 kids, stress free but we are starting to feel like we’ve nailed it from where to take the family on holiday to making packing for the kids as easy…
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…
My girls love sandals, and they also love being adventurous. Sometimes, sandals and adventure don’t always go very well together, especially when you like sparkly sandals and climbing in the adventure playground. A sparkly pair of sandals can soon look like a battered pair of sandals once they have been put through the mill at…
On bank holiday Monday we bundled the car full of kids and headed to Geronimo Festival at Harewood House near Leeds. I had been asked to be an ambassador for the festival a few months back and was so excited about going and taking the family. I’ve shared on my blog some of the exciting…

It’s been all change here at Zena’s Suitcase these last couple of month’s, and things are on the up, mainly! As there is so much going on I thought I’d give you a family update, and let you know how we are all getting along. Teen has just finished his A/S Levels, and fingers crossed…
If you’re looking for free things to do with kids, then look no further. I’m always desperate to find activities to do with my children that don’t break the bank, or even better are free. When teen was small, money was pretty tight so I had to learn to be inventive and make the most…
