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…
It’s not often we get the chance of a child-free trip. Jersey in the Channel Islands was our first mini escape that involved getting on a flight sans children. It was a delight! Here’s what we got up to in 24 hours in Jersey without the kids. Before I go any further I would thoroughly…
We were really late planning our Easter break, mainly because we’ve been arranging lots of trips for April, May and June. It suddenly crept up on us. With our lack of organisation it could have been a bit of a disaster but it turned out to be an amazing weekend. A week before I had…

In two short months my baby will be one-year-old. What a year it’s been getting to know each other. Tin Box Baby is such a happy, smiley baby. Even when she lost a lot of weight in the first few weeks after being born, she was still a contented little soul. She slept through from…
If you are planning a visit to Glamorgan with kids then I have some ideas for you about places to stay and things to do. We were invited to experience the Vale of Glamorgan and Bridgend by Visit Wales. The last time we visited Wales was in 2009, well before we started our little family….
February was one of those months when we didn’t stop for breath. It was manic but in a totally fab way. I love life when it’s busy. Do you? Here’s what we’ve been up to: At home I went back to work in the second week of February. I had 10 months maternity leave, which felt…
