Last May half term, we had the most beautiful week staying in Mazzaro, the beach just below Taormina in Sicily. Whilst it absolutely wins on scenery and had been on my list to visit for years after we fell in love with the Amalfi Coast {of which it feels quite similar}, I wouldn’t say that Sicily is the most child friendly place we’ve ever been to. It’s very much old school charm. We knew that before we booked! But here are some things that our children {aged 4 & 2 at the time} really enjoyed and some top tips if you’re planning to visit…

We’ve been flying with our children since my youngest was 6 weeks old. They’re now 5 and a half and 3 and a half and we’ve taken lots of long road trips and long haul flights. Here are our tried and tested toys/books/games for keeping little one’s entertained…

There’s something extra special about a crisp seaside day out in the winter if it’s not too windy & we struck gold with the most beautiful early February day and sunset 🌞. We used to go to Brighton all the time but hadn’t got down there since Freya was a baby! Here are some great family friendly, mostly free ideas if you’re planning a day out there.

We’ve been going to North Norfolk every year since 2013 in all different seasons. It’s the perfect mix of coast and countryside, everywhere is only around 20 minutes away and it’s half the distance to get to from London compared to Devon or Cornwall. Super child and dog friendly, we discover something new every time so here’s a list of favourites if you’re planning a trip…

A long weekend at Center Parcs Woburn, Bedfordshire. All of my thoughts and top tips if you’re planning to visit…

We first discovered the beauty of a holiday in the mountains last summer and quickly got converted. The breathtaking beauty takes some beating. We also discovered the concept of kinder hotels for the first time - a hotel designed specifically around children and families. They’re honestly a kid paradise - and therefore every parent’s paradise! Happy kiddos, easy parenting, luxury hotel. Win win.

The hotels are amazing in all seasons, they offer so much inside and out whatever the weather but we were particularly excited to visit in the winter and had been dreaming of a snowy trip! Feuerstein Nature Resort blew us away & we had the most incredible long weekend. Here’s alllll you need to know.

We were invited to the House of Lego, Legohouse in BIllund Denmark and discovered that the small city is perfect for a city break with children. It’s all focused around play. There’s the original Legoland there too and one of the coolest restaurant’s in the world where you’re served by robots. It’s really easy to get from the airport there and flights are often really cheap.

We booked Disneyland Paris quite last minute when we had 2 nights spare at the end of our European road trip. We convinced my parents to fly out to join us & surprise the kids and it made for the most magical, fun couple of days we’ll remember forever!!
