It doesn’t matter how good your pushchair is at weaving through the crowds or negotiating rough terrain, sometimes here are places it just won’t go. We quite often come across these situations during our adventures and our in every day life. The solution? A baby carrier. We’ve had a couple of wraps and structured baby…
Last weekend we enjoyed a lot of time outdoors. This isn’t anything unusual for the Tin Box family, but what was different was that we spent the time in our own garden. This happy event was thanks to Big Little Tent Festival. The festival is an idea from The Caravan Club to encourage families to…
Barcelona is a city I could return to again and again. There’s something enchanting about its mix of Gothic and Gaudi architecture, its bustling marina and beautiful parks. In 2016 I had the chance to make my third visit to Barcelona. But this occasion was different. This time we were doing Barcelona with a baby. Being parents…
June was always going to be a hard month t o follow – it had everything. Foreign travel, visiting family, lovely days out and some blogging highlights. However, July hasn’t been all that bad either. We’ve been doing more things at home and maybe that’s a good thing as August and September are shaping up to…
We’re going to be under canvas on more than one occasion this summer which has made me break out in a cold sweat. We’re outdoor types but there’s a bit of a difference between hitching up our caravan and pitching a tent. It’s been at least five years since we did the latter. So I…

Each week I come across some real corkers and quite often share them on Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest. Today I’ve decided to share a few that have stood out for me in the past week. I hope you…

There’s nothing quite like a new wardrobe to get you in the mood for holiday fun. That’s why we were really excited when the lovely people at Rockin’ Baby asked us to review some of their kids summer holiday clothes during our adventures. I say ‘lovely people’ not just because they sent us some beautiful…
We were invited to attend the Midsummer Dreams Festival at Darlington Hall Estate in Devon last weekend. It’s a family theatre event showcasing local and national talent. We’ve driven past the Estate many times in the six months we’ve lived in Devon but have never dropped in. So this alone was a great reason to…
Last month we went on the most amazing holiday – a family cruise. Our destination was the Mediterranean where we knew we’d be guaranteed sunshine and plenty of opportunity to splash around in the onboard pool. UV swimwear was a must. Temperatures were reaching 41C and, regardless of the heat, our energetic pre-schoolers were determined to…
