Top tips for long car journeys with kids

Long car journeys with young children are never going to be overly fun are they, no-one wakes up and says ‘hmm come on family, lets go sit in the car for four hours today – it’ll be awesome’. It is the thing that most of us parents dread a little, you know it’s guna be a lovely day out or holiday but the traveling is just going to be a night mare. I have had quite a few long drives with the kids recently including 4 hours to visit Bluestone in Wales, as you can imagine with 3 children vs 1…

Murder Mysteries At West Compton Manor

A couple of weeks ago I was invited along with a few other bloggers and journalists to visit West Compton Manor for an evening of solving murder mysteries with the Far Out Theatre. I have to be honest before hand I really didn’t know what I was getting myself into, I have never done a murder mystery night and all I could think of was Professor Plum in the study with a revolver. Never the less I thought it would be a giggle so off I went. West Compton Manor was easy enough to find, set in the Dorchester countryside you do…

A dream holiday

As a single mum to three little girls, I am yet to brave taking them all on holiday abroad, we’ve done plenty of lovely UK breaks which have been amazing but I am starting to grow tired of the English weather and am craving some fun in the sun with my little ones. This year we have way too much on so I know it won’t be possible but looking forward to 2017 I would love to take myself and the girls off on a sunny adventure for a week or two. The girls will be just that little bit…

Glamping at Chessington world of adventures

A couple weeks back me and the girls were invited along to the launch of the brand new Explorer Glamping accommodation that is now available at Chessington world of adventures.

However I thought it would be a fun little adventure for us and we love those so we went for it. We headed up straight from school and arrived just after…
