I’ve lost count of the unfinished posts I have in my drafts. All I know is there is one less this week. It has taken a while but I finally completed a post about our road trip to Provence – almost two years ago. It was our first holiday with our youngest, Cheeky, when she […] Read more…
I always love discovering new brands for children – especially when they sell travel-inspired gifts. I recently came across Starlight Baby. It’s a US-based baby and toddler website which gives parenting advice and sells cool, quirky bodysuits, nursery art and baby accessories. Starlight Baby was set up in May 2016 by James McAllister along with […] Read more…
A lot can happen in two weeks. Since my last City Tripping post, my husband has made some small steps in his recovery. It may not seem a lot but two weeks has meant more time for his body to heal and he has come out of the induced coma. He is still very sick […] Read more…
I only discovered the merits of the Algarve a couple of years ago when we escaped the UK to get some sun during the autumn half term holiday. I have no idea why it took so long! I must admit, I had some preconceived ideas about the Algarve but it truly surprised me. What I […] Read more…
City Tripping is having a break this week. The past week or so has been tough in my household. My husband is very ill in hospital so life has been put on hold for a bit. Our ski trip is clearly off the agenda. As a result City Tripping is taking a break – but […] Read more…
I have an unwritten rule in life…I never work on my birthday. In my eyes birthdays are all about one person. Why spend it slaving away at a desk when you could be doing something, anything, you want to do? Since having children the luxury of enjoying a whole day to myself is so rare, […] Read more…
When seeking out travel inspiration, I don’t have to look very far. I know my fellow travel bloggers will provide it in spades. In fact, my travel wish list for 2018 is full of destinations I’ve read about on blogs and seen on vlogs. Word of mouth recommendation is such a powerful tool and seeing […] Read more…
The new year has arrived which means there’s 12 more months to fill with travel and adventures. Last year we visited six different countries, including one new one. We already have a few trips in the diary for 2018, including one to Mexico (can’t wait) but I wanted to set out some of the other […] Read more…
Happy New Year! I must admit, I’m still getting my head around 2018. We were skiing in France at the beginning of January and last week I was getting back into the school/work routine. With my birthday celebrations yesterday (what Blue Monday?), it means January will now start in earnest for me. What better way […] Read more…
Reflecting on our travels in 2017, it’s been a diverse year. I took my first solo trip abroad since having my second child, Cheeky, and we tackled Asia with two children. We also ticked off a bucket list destination, Santorini, and survived a trip to the south of France with 40 others. In total we […] Read more…
Following the excitement of our 100th linky last week and our fabulous competitions, Cathy and I are taking a short break for three weeks. I’ve got last minute shopping and wrapping to do before the big day. Im sure I’m not alone! Over new year we’re off to the Alps skiing. Can’t wait! Hope you […] Read more…
It’s almost time for fireworks and this week we have good reason to celebrate. It marks our 100th City Tripping linky! Whoop! Thank you so much for coming and linking up your city adventures week after week. To celebrate, Cathy and I have got some fab books and guides to give away thanks to Lonely […] Read more…
