    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…

    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…

    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…

    The Family Holiday Bucket List – Spain

    July 19, 2018

    As the children get older, I’m putting together a bucket list of all the places we’d like to visit. Buoyed by our fabulous holiday to Spain, I have been researching child-friendly holidays and places to explore in the region. While I love spending lazy days going from the beach to the pool and back again, there are plenty of sights in mainland Spain and islands that I am desperate to see and for the kids to enjoy too. Spain is a wonderful and welcoming place for people with young children so I know it is a place we shall be spending many more sun-soaked family holidays. As the kids are…

    Our First Family Holiday Abroad to Spain

    July 10, 2018

    We have recently returned from a wonderful family holiday in El Campello in Spain. Jack is soon starting school so we avoided the school holidays to enjoy our first family holiday abroad. After spending years alternating between Devon and Suffolk for our annual holiday, I was desperate for a ‘proper’ sunny holiday. Spending 10-hours in a car, constantly checking over my shoulder to make sure the kids weren’t getting car sick and hovering a bucket underneath Jack’s chin as he turned pale. I didn’t want that hassle. Surely catching a 2-hour plane journey is easier? You know what, it is easier. Don’t get me wrong, we had tantrums, late departures…

    Family Mini Break at Thornwick Bay in Flamborough

    May 25, 2018

    I’ve lived in Yorkshire for 10 years but I rarely explore its coastline. Aside from a one-off trip to Whitby and Robin Hood Bay, it’s an area that is still new to me. So I was so thrilled when my in-laws decided to treat us to a mini break at Thornwick Bay in Flamborough as a family Christmas present. They discovered Thornwick Bay during a walking trip and thought the park would be ideal for the little ones. Caravan holidays have become our saviour since having children. They have enabled us to enjoy some family time away outside of the school holidays without having to spend a small fortune. As a…

    Family Holidays Have a Lasting Effect on Children

    February 6, 2018

    Follow my blog with Bloglovin I took Jack for lunch earlier this week and I was stunned when he started recounting a holiday we went on well over a year ago. He would have just turned two-years-old at the time, but he was very insistent that he remembered ‘splashing’ in the sea, playing with the Barbies in the caravan and going to the ‘noisy bit’ (slot machines). It reminded me that the happy memories of holidays last a lifetime. This is why holidays have been called “happiness anchors” and crucial for our children’s emotional development.
