Hello 2015! We’re waving you a massive welcome and looking forward to all the exciting things you’re going to bring. Number one on the list is Tin Box Baby 2, due in April. Family and close friends have already been let in on the secret of what we’re having, but December shot by in such…
I don’t often make new years resolutions – I know giving up chocolate is a non-starter! But when it comes to blogging I’m happy to make an exception. I’ve learnt so much in the past two years and have already made a lot of changes in 2014 – updating Tin Box Traveller’s layout, posting more…
We had a kindred spirit come to stay this Christmas – another traveller who carries their home on their back. Herbie the giant African land snail usually hangs out at Tin Box Tot’s nursery but needed a family to look after him while all the kids were on holiday. TBT has always been a massive…
Phew! It’s over for another year. All that remains of Christmas 2014 is a dustbin overflowing with ripped wrapping paper, pulled crackers and a few dry bits of turkey. For us this Christmas was our last as a family of three (Mr TB is behind the camera on this occasion). Next year there will be…
Fanfare please…today (13 December) Tin Box Traveller turns two. I’ll be celebrating this milestone with a hot (if I’m lucky) cuppa, but secretly wishing it was a glass of bubbly. The proper celebration will have to wait until the arrival of Tin Box Baby 2 in April. A celebration of some of our favourite Tin Box moments…
We’ve been visiting lots of places on our doorstep since we packed up Tin Box for the year, with our local beach being one of our favourites. Here’s why! During our recent visit to Hill Head in Hampshire we were treated to an amazing sunset that gave everything a warm glow despite the cool breeze…
When the fab people at Mummy VS Daddy asked us to write a guest post about the meaning of Christmas it got us reminiscing. As fairly new parents we can still vaguely remember child-free festive seasons. Oh, how things have changed! You can read how much in our post Christmas: past, present and future. It…
‘Tis the season to be jolly so we thought we’d have a bit of fun creating our own caravan-themed 12 Days of Christmas. You know the tune, so here we go: On the first day of Christmas Mr Tin Box gave to me: blue for our chemical loo On the second day of Christmas Mr…
Before Christmas rudely gatecrashes our every waking moment, I thought I’d give a final word to autumn. A part from some inevitable wash out days, autumn is ideal for getting out and about. We’re really lucky to live on the Hampshire coast, so interesting dog and toddler friendly walks are never far from our front…
Back in the summer I had my first opportunity to spend a grown-up night away since Tin Box Tot was born. I was excited and nervous all in one. I was leaving my ‘baby’, but I would have my first uninterrupted sleep for more than a year. Sadly, sleep was the one part of my trip…
