If you're dreaming of a destination that blends ancient history, jaw-dropping landscapes, and the warmest people you'll ever meet—Sri Lanka should be top of your list. I recently spent a week exploring this magical island with Columbus Tours, flying out from the UK with SriLankan Airlines on October 8th. What followed was a whirlwind of temples, wildlife, sunsets, and unforgettable moments. Buckle

Have you ever attempted to drive 6 hours with 4 kids in the back of the car, excited, bored, tired? No? Well we have, and that is how our Disneyland trip began. So we decided to catch the Eurotunnel as there was so many of us, 5 adults and 10 kids, yes we are completely crazy. We decided to drive quite late at night and then wait for our early train, now as we live in somerset, this was a 3 hour t

At the beginning of October I was lucky enough to get to visit the beautiful Italian island of Ischia. Now if you’ve never heard of this island, its just off the Gulf of Naples. I flew from Gatwick, but you can fly from lots of local airports to get there, as you fly into Naples. Once we arrived into Naples we took a taxi down to Naples Port where we got a hydrofoil across to the island of Ischia

As many of you will know, I’ve just returned from Rhodes this week, so while it is fresh in my memory, I thought I would write about our trip. It was just myself and Chris (my husband) on our first adults-only proper holiday since before we had kids. We were very much looking forward to having a break away just the two of us. We stayed at the Mitsis Alila Resort, which is based between Faliraki a

I know, I know, I probably don’t have to write anymore with a title like that, but I will, and you will see why. Me and my husband went on a mini cruise with Royal Caribbean, Independence of the Seas in April 2017 for our anniversary. Neither of us had ever cruised and we had a lot of misconceptions about it, but also we’d never been to the destinations on the cruise, which were Bruges and Rotter

My reasons for loving Cyprus come from a couple of places. My first holiday abroad with my mum when I was 16 was in Cyprus which was amazing, we stayed in an apartment not far from the square in Ayia Napa, so of course we had to go and look around. That was an experience to say the least. But even though we were so close, we barely heard or saw much of it. The second reason it has such a special p

Coming from a Disney fan my answer would always be yes, but for this blog I will pretend I am my husband (this will be hard)! When I first booked our first trip to Florida, my husband was not impressed. He has never seen a Disney film, he isn’t a fan of crowds, and he wasn’t really enjoying the thought of a long haul flight with 3 young children, but I reassured him all would be worth it (I was p

My answer to this burning question is yes, it’s more than worth it. I've been lucky enough to get to take my children to lots of beautiful places, but one that made me the most nervous was when we flew to Florida. I’d heard all the horror stories of long haul flights with kids, and how everyone just tutted and rolled their eyes at parents and this just filled me with dread, but you know what, it
