No one likes a delayed flight with or without children – even grown ups are prone to toddler tantrums during a delay. If your flight is only delayed up to an hour you can manage, but anything more than that with small children can be hard work. What happens when you have a 4, 5 […]
Things to do in Orlando with a family: Boggy Creek Airboats
I’ve said before that one of our favourite things to do when in Florida is take a ride on an airboat. It’s such an amazing experience, it really stuck in our memory from our last trip to Florida, so we were keen to try it again. This time we went on a couple of different airboats, one […]
Flying high in Orlando
I love the idea of skydiving. It’s not something I would ever do because I’m not a fan of flying and those little planes that take you up for your skydive put me right off. Also, there’s something that feels odd about doing bonkers stuff like that when you’ve got a tribe of little people. […]

Quality time together when everyone can relax from the daily routine and just enjoy being together. Now, I know many people think holidaying with […]
Live the ‘Good Life’ in the Lake District
The Lake District is somewhere I’d love to spend more time. During university I visited a lot. After my family moved to France I didn’t have a ‘home’ to go back to at weekends, so sometimes I’d go home with a friend. Her parents live in the Lake District. We’d go on long walks with […]
Travel experiences we had that our children never will
Do you remember that feeling when growing up, when you’d watch a TV show and a new actor would appear? “It’s…” You’d cry, then pause mid-flow, the words evaporating from your mind like mist. “It’s… thingie. From the other thing! Or is it? Where do I know him from? I know I’ve seen him in […]
