A Beginners Guide To Cruise Holidays

A Beginners Guide To Cruise Holidays

We've had the pleasure of sailing to Bruges and Norway and that has totally converted me to cruising. I remember booking my first cruise and not having a clue what to expect. It was quite daunting actually as it was going to be my first holiday abroad as an adult. I had to take care of insurance and passports and do other adulting tasks like paying for it. We decided on a cruise because it seemed like a faff free way to holiday and after speaking to a travel agent and how passionate ... Read more

My Breastfeeding Story – I Could Not Cope

My Breastfeeding Story – I Could Not Cope

I wouldn't say I'm an advocate for breastfeeding. In fact I have hardly talked about my early day parenting struggles on the blog because I didn't really think anyone would care but I've read countless amount of stories about breastfeeding recently with it being National Breastfeeding Week.

Customised Clothing with Contrado – Review

I quite like a good stripe too and I wanted something nice and colourful but still suitable for summer. Contrado is a great site because you can customise all of your outfit and ... Read more

Bournemouth by Bus & TGI Fridays Food

Bournemouth by Bus & TGI Fridays Food

I live in a bit of a weird place, right on the border of Wiltshire which basically means I can get to Bournemouth Beach by bus. It's longer but way cheaper than going by train and sometimes you just want to go to the beach and it not cost a fortune. That being said we went to TGI Fridays for lunch so it ended up being much more expensive than we anticipated. Still it was a nice date day that Adam and I deserved as we haven't had one in a while. I do like a quick day city break and we ... Read more

Igloo Mania Board Game Review – Brainstorm

Evie loves a good board game and with this very wet summer we've had Igloo Mania has been a firm favourite already. We have loved playing it already particularly as it's reminding us just how cold it can be despite it being August. Penguins are a big hit here too. Igloo Mania is from Brainstorm Limited games and is suitable for ages 5+. It's a relatively quick game and it does require a bit of easy to follow assembly before playing. It may be advisable to set it up in secret, unlike ... Read more
