A Visit to Lapland*
Recently on Facebook one of my friends asked what age you think it appropriate to take a child to visit Santa Claus in Lapland. For me, it’s very like a Disney holiday as it’s taking your child to see a fictional character they either believe to be real or not. At the moment, LM see’s all Disney characters as the real deal, and I feel if I invested in taking her to see Santa Claus in Lapland she’d feel the same way. Of course, like with a lot of things I read on the internet it got me thinking about the possibility in taking Little Miss on a truly Christmassy…

Walt Disney World April 2015, Day 9 – Ohana & Magic Kingdom
As you might have guessed, I’m desperately trying to get the last few days from our April trip on the blog before I head off on another one (and then DLP straight after that). I’m now up to our last full day at Walt Disney World where we opted just to spend the day at Magic Kingdom, that was after breakfast at the breathtaking Polynesian Resort. Here is what we got up to, again, it’s photo heavy! We really slept in on our last day due to the fact we had 8am breakfast reservations and we’d been out until after midnight the night before but my whole approach to the…

My Guide to a Stress Free Trip with Your Kids!*
All parents dream of taking a stress free trip with their kids, but it doesn’t always happen this way. Kids can be a handful. One minute they are having the time of their lives, the next they’re screaming and crying because something hasn’t gone their way. You might have the most well behaved children in the world, but travelling with them can still be stressful. I hope you find my guide to a stress free trip with your kids useful! Take Lots of Distractions for Them Kids get bored really easily, so the best thing you can do is take lots of distractions for them. They can be used while…

Walt Disney World April 2015, Day 8 – Hollywood Studios & Magic Kingdom
So, in 24 days we’ll be off back to Florida and I’ve still got another three days of our last trip diary to post. OOPS! Where has the time gone? I’m not sure if anyone will read this, it’s definitely more for my own benefit now so I can look back and compare what we got up to on what days and at what parks as LM grows. I expect every trip to be different so by blogging about each day will be a nice account to keep. I got up to day 8, our second Monday and our second to last full day. We started at Hollywood Studios but…

Great Holidays for Families with Small Children*
I think it’s a well known fact that I love going on holiday. Actually, not just holidays, I love to travel. We spend so much of our lives stuck in the same place, working more days than we have off, leaving so much of the country we live in unexplored, and even less of the world. For someone who has never had a high paying job, and is now a single mum, I do manage to get out and travel a lot, but I’d say this is down to some rigorous saving strategies. However, with a young child I do have to think carefully about where we’re going to go.…

Important Things I Still Need for Florida*
One week from today I’ll be freaking out because I’ll be able to say “I’m going back to Florida next month!” It still feels completely crazy and it hasn’t fully sunk yet since I only came back a few months ago, but there we have it. In case you missed it, I was lucky enough to be on the receiving end of someone “paying it forward” it’s literally like having a fairy godmother grant a wish. Over the past few months I’ve worked my butt off and between myself and my friends out there I’ve managed to secure our park tickets and I’m well on my way to sorting the…
