Here are four questions about food poisoning claims that you should answer truthfully. So you’ve gone on your dream holiday, eaten the food at the hotel, fallen ill and spent most of your holiday moaning and […]

000 What would you do if you won the lottery? It’s a great question isn’t it? Really allows you to let loose and dream, of the places, the things, how you’d live. For me, if I won the lottery I think I’d travel. I love visiting new places, experiencing new cultures, and of course, getting […]

010 I find still waters very calming and relaxing. Of course it is also relaxing by the beach too! The tide going in and out and the soft waves, but there is something very soothing about a lake, the reflection of the trees on the surface, the ripples as a fish or duck passes through, […]

000 Winter is a great season. As the golden orange and red leaves start drifting across the road and the nights lengthen we can look forward to cosy nights and Christmas get-togethers. In fact, the only thing that lets winter down as a season is the weather and if you’d rather walk across golden sands […]

001 I remember our first ever family holiday – our daughter was just 3 months old and we went to Portugal. There is so much to think about when travelling with a ‘baby on board’, so here are things to consider when booking a holiday with a baby. When you first become a parent you […]

000 Looking for a bit of sunshine for you and your family this summer? Or maybe you are already planning next year’s trip?

000 Autumn half term has come and gone, and by now most families have taken their holiday for the year. If you haven’t had a chance to get away, or even if you fancy one more trip abroad before the next school term begins, why not head to Ibiza for a winter break? You might […]

002 It’s a play on words, but Carnival’s newest ship Vista really is a ‘carnival’ at sea! This summer my family and I embarked in Barcelona for an 8 night western Mediterranean cruise, taking in 7 cities over 3 countries on one amazing ship. Carnival prides itself on being a company providing fun family vacations […]

002 We were onboard Carnival Vista last week for an 8 night Western Mediterranean cruise and I am still feeling the excitement for this ship! Carnival’s newest addition to the fleet is unlike any other cruise ship I have been on before. It has a certain personality of its own, little finds in every corner […]

001 I had a long weekend away in Amsterdam for my sister-in-law’s hen do and ‘Damn!’ is exactly the word!! I spent the weekend laughing until my belly ached, drinking far more than I’m used to, and seeing some thing that can never be unseen. Especially as during a Friday to Monday weekend, we spent […]

002 Last weekend my husband and I had a rare occurrence…. A whole day alone together!! That almost never happens when you have kids – it is either family days out or days when you run around doing chores together or one parent has the kids whilst the other gets to socialise! But as he […]

002 Travel is a big part of our lives as a family, we make memories on holiday that we laugh about all year, and the children find new independence and confidence with each trip. Whether it be a weekend break where we let them have their own interconnecting hotel room for the first time, or […]

001 You have heard the saying, you can take a girl out of (name of place) but you can’t take (name of place) out of the girl! No matter how far and wide you travel, you always want to come back home and this is true of me and Yorkshire. 2016 will be something of […]

002 Before I’d ever been on a cruise, my main worry was “What if I don’t like it – I’m stuck on a boat!” or “What if I meet someone I’d rather avoid – there’s nowhere to hide!” Not that I avoid people often, it’s just the thought of being ‘trapped’ as I saw it, […]

001 Cruises and chocolate – probably two of my favourite things after you count my husband and kids, and last weekend I got to enjoy a taste of both when Carnival Cruises took my family plus their other blogger ambassadors to Cadbury World! A grey and drizzly day in Birmingham may not seem like it […]

002 There are a wealth of family activities in the Costa Brava and on our recent holiday, we enjoyed a few! My favourite new experience had to be the segway tours – I’d never stepped foot on a segway before but as you will see from my video below, it didn’t take long to get […]
