We rely on our gadgets to get us through the day (especially when travelling with kids), but the tangle of cables and never-quite-right chargers can cause more drama than it’s worth. That’s why this summer, I’m packing smarter – and lighter – thanks to Krafted Connex, a nifty little gadget that I genuinely think every travelling family needs.
The open road, the snacks, the soundtrack, the… are-we-there-yet chorus on repeat. A family road trip can be full of adventure, bonding, and beautiful scenery—or it can be four hours of snack wrappers and complaints about legroom. The secret to success? Preparation.
Sunshine is brilliant for boosting moods, encouraging outdoor play, and giving us that glorious golden-hour glow. But let’s be honest—British skin isn’t exactly built for blazing UV. Whether you’re headed to the beach, out for a walk, or spending the day in the garden, following sun safety tips for families is a must.
There’s something magical about sleeping under the stars, toasting marshmallows over a campfire, and waking up to the sounds of birds and… probably one child loudly announcing they need the toilet.
Who says you have to travel far to have a great summer? Whether you’re saving money, avoiding the chaos of airports, or just fancy a slower pace, a well-planned staycation can be just as memorable (and a lot less stressful). With a bit of curiosity and creativity, you can uncover incredible staycation ideas for families that bring adventure, discovery, and fun right to your doorstep.
Festival season is here, and there’s no need to leave the kids at home (tempting though it may be). Across the UK, more events are putting families front and centre – offering live music, creative workshops, adventure zones, and even baby-changing tents that don’t look like they belong in a war zone.
In the world today, more and more travellers are turning to eco-tourism and cultural exploration. People are no longer satisfied with just sightseeing. They want to truly understand a destination’s natural environment and ethnic culture, and at the mean time, travel in a more sustainable way.
When summer arrives and holidays beckon, most of us think of sun-soaked afternoons, lazy beach days, and family adventures in nature – but warm weather and outdoor fun also bring an unwelcome companion: insects. Mosquitoes, midges, wasps, ticks, and other biting bugs are more than just a minor nuisance — for many people, they can be a serious issue. Whether it’s a painful sting at a picnic, a mosquito bite that keeps your child awake all night, or the growing concern over tick-borne diseases, bites and stings can cast a shadow over an otherwise perfect trip.
