At the risk of sounding like a broken record, April was another super busy month for us. I’m coming to terms with the fact that this is just how we’ll be rolling in 2016. So what did we get up to in April. Here’s a taster! Blogging I don’t usually start with what’s been happening…
So, something crazy has happened. About a month ago I wrote about who I would like to see in the finals of the MAD (Mum and Dad) Blog Awards if I was a judge. Today I find myself actually in the finals and in the top six family travel blogs in the UK. Thank you! Thank…
Woah, March passed by in such a flash that I’m a bit late with my monthly round up. The final week in particular we spent a lot more time doing things than having time to reflect on them. Anyway, here’s a quick catch up with what’s been happening in the Tin Box Traveller world during…
I’ve been tagged in the Sisterhood of the World blogger tag by the fabulous Kathy from Hopes, Dreams and Chocolate. She’s from the lovely West Sussex in the South of England.

First of all I don’t think I could be a 2016 MAD Blog Awards blog judge – imagine the pressure! It’s not just that there are an infinite number of Mums and Dads (MADs) out there crafting some amazing posts on eye-wateringly beautiful websites. They are also doing it at the same time as bringing…

Towards the end of 2015 I decided to start rounding up what I’ve been up to each month: our travels, weekend adventures, blogging, and general life. I did mean to begin this in November, but the ‘general life’ part got in the way. So, new year, new start and all that. And what a…
Like many families we have been using January to firm up our travel plans for 2016 and what a year it’s going to be. We’ve had a couple of exciting holidays land in our laps – a weekend away for Mr Tin Box and I, plus an eight-day family cruise. The blogger in me is…
We’re in! After what seems to have been the longest house move of all time we are finally in our new place in Devon. Last summer we found out that Mr Tin Box’s next Royal Navy job was going to be in Dartmouth in South Devon. It’s an area of the world we know well…
So that’s it; 2015 is coming to a close. When did that happen? It’s been a golden year of blogging for me. I’ve had more time to devote to posting while I’ve been on maternity leave and my efforts have been rewarded with the #31 spot in the Trips100 blog index and a place in…
