One of the best things about caravanning with kids is that there’s very little space for them to create mess. Likewise, one of the worst things about caravanning with kids is that this tiny space gets cluttered very quickly. Five years into our caravan adventures with babies, toddlers and now school-aged kids, we have added…
*This is a collaborative post* Hurrah for the summer holidays and all the adventures to come from today! However, the schools breaking up is a bit of an anticlimax for us. We still have a whole week until Mr Tin Box finishes work and we can head off on our holidays. I have to admit…

I’ve always loved food – my curvy behind is testament to that. But when I became a mum I wasn’t prepared for how much meal times would structure our day.

Aaaa-chooo! Aside from a chorus of cows, peacocks, and thousands of birds chirping their hearts out around the valley, the odd thundering sneeze was the only disturbance of the peace during our weekend glamping in Cornwall. And we were hardly in the position to complain as it was Tin Box Grandpa’s severe hay fever that…
*Advertisement feature* We love Kidunk’s kids clothing for outdoor play. Last autumn we reviewed their play suits for the first time and were impressed with their innovative design and cosiness. Since then they’ve lasted extremely well and were only set aside when the girls had out grown them. So when the team at Kidunk got…
