Our #LittleDiscoveries Adventure to Newcastle, Day One
Next week Little Miss starts school full time. Real compulsory education. I can’t believe our summer is over and on Wednesday she’ll be putting on her uniform for the first time and walking through the doors of her primary school. She’s so ready. She’s smart, social and ready to learn. However, on the other hand, I’m pretty much falling apart the closer it gets. I have to admit people who don’t have children are struggling to understand how I’m feeling. For the last 3 & a half years, Little Miss has been my lifeline. Days I’ve struggled to get out of bed, she’s been there for me to fully focus…

Things I’m Looking Forward to in Walt Disney World Oct 2016
With less than 6 weeks to go until Walt Disney World October 2016 I’m into crazy planning mode for our trip.

Staying at Old Key West This time we’re staying at what is classed as a delux villa resort.…

My 5 Favourite Character Meet Memories from Disneyland Paris
What’s that, another Disneyland Paris post? I found a list of topics I’d wrote about 6 months ago so I figured I’d revisit them before my blog ends up turbo Walt Disney World content when I return in October. For us, a huge part of our trip is meeting characters. Little Miss is still at that age where it’s all so real and magical that meeting her heroes is a huge deal. Although as she gets older rides are becoming a bigger part of our day, she’s still more likely to queue for a length of time to meet someone over a ride. So today I thought I’d share my…

6 Things I Love About Autumn at Disneyland Paris
– Obviously not the weather! It’s so hard right now to make yourself stand out in the sea of Disney bloggers and youTubers. I don’t have an Annual Pass to any parks, I don’t vlog but I have been so desperate for this niche of blogging that it’s really hard right now being so invisible. So today I’ve set aside all the work I have to do, and posts I have to write to write something I want to write (that’s a lot of “write”s in one sentence!) which is why I love Autumn at Disneyland Paris. Unfortunately this year we won’t make it for Autumn and Halloween, we’re in…

Hacks for Surviving a Long Haul Flight with a Small Child*
In 50 days I’ll be embarking on my forth long haul flight to Walt Disney World with a child under 5 as a single parent. The first time I flew long haul (also the second time I flew with Little Miss) she was barely three. She turned three at the end of January and we flew the beginning of April. I know I had people tell me I was crazy, that I’d regret it when people were giving me “that look” when she couldn’t settle or ended up bored an hour in. Guess what? It never happened. In fact, as of yet it’s still never happened. Two of our flights…

Weekend in the Peak District
Last weekend it was my other halves birthday so we packed up his car and headed to the Peak District, just the two of us. Long distance relationships are are so hard and I’m not the greatest at them, in fact, I’m the worst. So three days alone with him away from it all was nothing short of bliss. I’m sure no one wants to know the mundane things we got up to just talking and enjoying each other’s company, so instead I’m just sharing some photos because the Peak District really is a beautiful part of the world, one that I haven’t really had the chance to see. This…
