Have the Best Time in The Bahamas*
When you think about beautiful beaches, endless streams of sunshine and relaxed living, the Bahamas is probably the first place that comes to mind. Made up of no less than 7000 separate islands and in excess of 2,000 tiny cays, in the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, the Bahamas is a dream holiday destination for many. However, so few people really make the most of their time there, choosing to spend the bulk of their vacation on the beach. Although the beaches are indeed beautiful and spending time there is like visiting heaven for a while; there is so much more to do when you’re vacationing in the Bahamas.…

Doing Disneyland Paris on a Budget Part 1 – Transport, Accommodation & Tickets
Almost two years ago I did a post about doing Walt Disney World and Orlando on a budget. Although I have been lucky enough to do Florida 4 times in less than two years, I won’t be back this year no matter how much I budget. Instead we’re settling on multiple trips to Disneyland Paris and a few trips to London, all this roughly comes to the price of our very first trip to Florida back in April 2015. In the past two years prices have increased due to the unstable economy and just general inflation making it harder for me to afford it as a single parent without giving…

Days Out in England – Bones Exhibition at The Great North Museum
Yesterday we continued our trend of having a day away during the school holidays. During Christmas we ventured up to Edinburgh to enjoy the Christmas Market, so this time we headed south and went to Newcastle. Since our #littlediscoveries adventure last year we discovered some great new places including The Great North Museum that Little Miss really enjoyed and when I heard they had a new exhibition on I decided we should go during half term. I asked my mum if she wanted to come with my nephew as he’s really into bones and even wanted to be an archaeologist at one point! So we booked trains and exchanged some…

Things to Do With Kids in the Newcastle
Next week Little Miss is on half term for a week, so as usual the week before I’m trying to plan a few activities for us to do. We’re not going anywhere special as March is shaping up to be a busy month for us so I’m trying to save as much money for that instead, however unless the weather is truly terrible I’d rather we didn’t spend the whole time in the house. We live on the Scottish Border so we can either go north or we can go south when it comes to finding thing to do. North we have up towards Edinburgh and south we have the…

Getting an Annual Pass at Disneyland Paris
On our trip to Disneyland Paris last month I finally did something that’s been on my bucket list for a while, we became Annual Pass Holders! I have considered it for Walt Disney World for the last two years but as they regularly have black out days I would have had to get the top tier one making it well over $1000 for Little Miss and I where as I could buy a 21 day one for our trip in March and a 14 day one for our trip in October for both of us and it still cost less. Plus by getting the 14 day pass in October it…

Making Adventures Affordable with Groupon*
This is a sponsored post but all opinions expressed are my own. With having such a popular Instagram account we do often get questions about how I can afford it as a single mum. And the truth is, with a lot of budgeting! I love to travel, I have always had itchy feet and nothing gets me more excited than planning an adventure for Little Miss and I, be it to Disney or else where. Our next trip is a weekend to London at the end of March and i’m so excited to get planning child friendly activities. This will be Little Miss’ first ever trip to London that isn’t…
