We have just enjoyed a very hot holiday over in Florida where their winter weather was peaking at 30oC. Now we are back home to snow and it has me thinking and dreaming off holidays where it certainly can be a bit colder, if not a lot colder! So I have compiled a list of […]
I have something to tell you all – we love Blackpool. My in-laws live in Fleetwood which is just up the road from Blackpool. Just recently had our third holiday there. It was funny because the day we arrived I was sent over my guest post #8 via Tracey from onefrazzledmum. The idea behind my […]
So where would our ultimate family bucket list destinations be? From our 450+ bucket list, there are some places on the list that realistically it would take us a lot of savings to be able to afford. They are also the kind of destinations that we would love to be able to do in 5* […]
I can’t believe it’s been 8 months since our holiday to Gran Canaria. It is a fabulous place and is one of the main tourist destinations of the Canary Islands. Today I am bringing you 10 great reasons to visit Gran Canaria for your next holiday. #1 – Close proximity to the UK Did you […]
To my darling son It’s here. It’s arrived, the day I’ve been dreading since the day you were born. Today is your first day of ‘proper’ school. I barely slept last night, heck I’ve barely slept in weeks. Will you settle? Do you understand that you’re there to learn as well as play? Do you […]
The very first country my parents took me and my brother on holiday to was Spain. The area they chose was the Costa Del Sol. We loved the choice of town Fuengirola as we affectionately called it ‘Finger in your ear hole’. It is a holiday that I fondly remember today. I still have miniature […]
Before our 4-year-old boy starts Primary school in September we have a few staycations planned. We are making the most of our summer and enjoying the luxury of time together. We have only been back living in the UK since December 2014. There is so much of our great nation waiting for us to explore. […]
Today I am welcoming Lylia Rose and a post about their Kid free glamping weekend at Chepstow quarry. As always I asked Lylia to pitch to me why we should add this to our bucket list. It sounds lovely, we have a night away planned soon but haven’t quite got around to sorting it out […]
I am a huge fan of Bluebells. I look forward to the bluebells blooming in our local woods in the Spring as much as I look forward to Christmas. We take more and more regular walks in the woods on the run-up so as not to miss out when they come into bloom. There is nothing […]
Oh my goodness it’s been years since I’ve been to Bournemouth. My Dad’s sister and my cousins live down there and we really don’t see them enough. My brother and I used to go with my grandparents to see them all when we were little. I have lots of fond memories of Bournemouth. Why they had to […]
I’ve flown with Jamie a few times now. The first two times he was a baby and with the aid of a dummy, flying during his nap time and a bottle of formula he coped quite well. He wasn’t keen on sitting nicely on my nap but I have no lasting bad memories of either […]
My Dad. He was honestly the best, one of life’s greatest people. He worked so hard yet always had time for his family. He retired early at 56 and looking back thank goodness he did. We started 2016 like most people do, toasting the new year and totally oblivious to what was about to come. He […]
