    10 Easy Last Minute World Book Day Costume Ideas

    March 3, 2019

    I love World Book Day and all the fun dressing up that comes with it. However, at times it can be a little stressful trying to find a great costume that is either easy to make or cheap to buy. With that in mind I thought I’d put together a list of easy to throw together some easy last minute world book day costume ideas that the kids will love! Where’s Wally? All that’s needed here is a white and red striped jumper, a bobble hat and a pair of black rimmed glasses. If you don’t have a stripy jumper then use some white tape on a red tshirt, or…

    Best Family Holiday Destinations in Europe

    February 27, 2019

    Last year I put together a post on best places to visit in Spain following our own little jaunt to the continent. This time I thought I’d expand my search and look at family holidays in Europe. I adore going on holiday around Europe and the novelty of having an abundance of culture and beautiful beaches only a short plane ride away always excites me. Whether it’s catching the train to France and spending the weekend sipping wine on La Seine or lapping up the sun on golden beaches, there is something for every type of traveller. It’s always quite hard finding somewhere to call home while you’re on holiday…

    Tips on Returning Back to Work after Having Kids

    January 20, 2019

    I recently returned back to the world of work after staying at home to raise my children. I don’t really like using that phrase ‘return back to work’ as I never stopped working in the first place. Firstly, mums work ALL THE TIME. Being a stay at home mum is most definitely, without a doubt, work. For a few years I also worked as a freelance copywriter, peddling my wares during nap times and whatever hours I could find during the week so that I could carve out my little online business. It was something I loved doing and had always wanted to do. I enjoyed the autonomy of running…

    Parenting While Working: How to Explain Your Job to Your Kids

    March 10, 2020

    How many children do you know understand their parent’s work schedule? The answer is not many. The bet is that when you were a child, you had no idea what your parents did every single day, too. You may remember your parents going to work, and you may remember your parents having to miss some of your school events because of their jobs. That doesn’t mean that they know what your job is. In the world today, we have a lot of pressure on us to achieve. Our retirement age is later than ever, and the wage freezes have meant that parents are forced to work longer hours and more…

    Don’t Let Your Kids Get In The Way Of Personal Goals

    December 17, 2019

    Pexels. CCO Licensed. Got personal goals that you’d like to pursue – but feel that you can’t because your duties as a parent are getting in the way? While raising kids can take up a lot of time and money, it’s still possible to chase personal goals. In fact, pursuing personal goals can be beneficial for you and your children. It helps you to grow as a person and live a more fulfilled life. In doing so, you’ll feel happier – and so will your kids. You children are also more likely to be inspired to chase their own personal goals if they see you doing the same. There are…

    Alternative Holidays for Families

    October 3, 2019

    When planning a family holiday, the majority of us tend to put together a pretty routine getaway. We seek out sun, sea and sand in destinations that aren’t too hot. Generally, we will book into a family resort, as these have entertainment for the kids and plenty for everyone to do – all in a safe and enclosed space with other families. But it’s important to remember that this isn’t the only type of getaway that you and your family can enjoy when you’re looking for a break from the ordinary routine. There are plenty of alternative family holidays out there that you might want to take into consideration going…

    4 Best Family Holiday Spots in Spain

    September 19, 2019

    Europe has almost become a dirty word here in the UK. Whatever your stance on Brexit, the endless negotiations, political dishonesty, logistical calamity and nasty undertones of xenophobia can prevent us from realising just how lucky we are to live in the UK. After all, not only do we have a plethora of wonderful family holiday destinations in our own green and pleasant isles, our proximity to Europe affords us access to a plethora of bustling cities and sandy beaches. All at family friendly prices through the miracle of budget airlines. If you can afford to be flexible in when and where you book, you can get some truly fantastic…

    3 of The Best Places for a Last-Minute Family Holiday

    July 17, 2019

    Family holidays are special times. They help us form some of our earliest memories and bring us closer together as a family. We are able to break away from the commitments of daily life, and create moments that we never forget as long as we live. Sandcastles on the beach, swimming in the sea, late nights and long, warm evenings – family holidays have a lasting magic, but how do you know where the right destination is? And how do you make a decision, especially if you are booking something last minute? Here are three fantastic places for a family break. 1. The Yorkshire coast A trip to Yorkshire is…

    Travel Bucket List: The Family Gap Year

    July 7, 2019

    It’s official; gap years are no longer just for students taking a break between college and university to go backpacking around Thailand. Some families are now opting to take a year out with the whole family. Taking an extended trip like this can be incredible for family bonding, and to give your kids an amazing insight into different countries and cultures. But how on earth do you pick up your life and move abroad for a year? Decide Where You’re Going The first choice is the destination. Decide if you want to travel for a year, or spend the time living in one country. How different to home do you…

    Beat the ‘Oh For Heaven’s Sake!’ Syndrome

    June 29, 2019

    Have you ever said ‘oh, for heaven’s sake!’ when dealing with something annoying and surprising? Odds are, you replaced ‘heaven’s’ with a variety of other words. Perhaps you used more creative language. Hey, that’s fine, all of us do it. We’ll probably even do it today. It might be traffic that causes it. It might be some bad news. But sometimes, it can just be things that feel preventable but for some reason plague us all. But because of the relatively small amount of time that they bother us, or because we’re used to them, we might not take the solution seriously. Well, let this article be the final resting…

    Australian Destinations You Didn’t Even Know Could Make That 24-Hour Flight Worthwhile

    March 26, 2019

    Having both a fear of flying and an insatiable wanderlust can be tricky to deal with. I love travelling and seeing the world, but I also have a big fear of flying. But there’s just no getting around the fact that planes are the only way to get to some of the world’s best destinations. Even worse, the flights involved to some destinations can be pretty long. Take a trip to Australia, for example. This can take up-to twenty four hours or more depending on where you’re flying from. The length of a flight like this can keep even a keen wanderer with a plane fear at bay. You may be…
