The Best Staycation Destinations for Post Lockdown Holidays

March 25, 2021

Have you already booked a post lockdown holiday for you and your family? We have! I am so excited to be heading back to our favourite place. We will be spending a midweek break in July on the Isle of Wight. The only difference is the holiday park. This time we are spending time at Nodes Point Holiday Park which is a caravan site on the island. It kind of feels like going abroad because we have to get there on about - pretty much the same thing right? Caravan parks are places we love ... Read more

Making Bath Time Fun with Kids Stuff Crazy Bathtime Range

March 24, 2021

Ad - Gifted Products - I received some products in exchange for this feature. All opinions are my own.

And then, you have people wanting to exploit this and make a huge profit. Now, I ... Read more

The Problem with saying Violence Against Women and why #notallmen should be met with #toomanymen

March 16, 2021

The problem with violence against women is the removal of 'male' in a sentance that should read Male Violence Against Womxn to include cis women, trans men and women, non binary folx and basically anyone that has ever been a victim of assault because of their gender and/or sexuality. The problem with saying #notallmen is because that is nonwithstanding but victims of assualt shouldn't have to say "OF COURSE ITS NOT ALL MEN!" - that's obvious, but it is too many men. We are dealing with ... Read more
