Why You Should Get Away from Home in the Winter with Kids*
As a mum, holidays are always an important time no matter what season. Obviously, my family loves going away during the summer and that is when most parents feel they have to keep their children occupied. The six week holidays are a long time, so if we don’t get away and make it special, I feel like I am letting my daughter down. The same goes for the winter holidays. During the autumn and winter months, my daughter gets up to four weeks from school and I don’t want her to stay cooped up at home. I know most people don’t agree, but by the end of this post I…

5 Reasons to Visit Paris This Winter*
I don’t know about you, but sometimes I just feel like I really need an escape from reality, and this feeling seems to crop up more often in the middle of winter when everything is dull and grey. The funny thing is, I don’t always need to escape somewhere hot (although when I’m doing the freezing cold school run, I do often dream of white beaches and turquoise seas) sometimes I just need to go somewhere pretty, and there are few places prettier in the world than Paris in the winter. If this is you too, I have some news, the Voyage Prive website has some great Paris city breaks…

5 Things to Do If You’re Visiting Edinburgh on a Budget*
As I’ve mentioned many times before, Edinburgh is one of my absolute favourite cities in the country, actually in the world and I’m so lucky that it’s my nearest city. It’s the one I go to when I need to go clothes shopping, or to the cinema. It’s popular for nights out, special weekends away and if you want to enjoy anything remotely historical or involving the arts. I also like because it’s not a huge city. You can explore it all as a tourist within a couple of days and feel like you’d seen enough to get a good taste. I was asked by Megabus to share some of…

Ever Wondered What All the Equipment is Before Boarding a Plane? *
One of my favourite things to do at airports is to look out the large windows and watch the airplanes go up and down, imagining where are they going to or where they are coming from. I remember this one particular day, it was pouring outside, my phone’s battery was dead, so I was watching airport people work near the planes (a bit strange, I know – but I was bored and curious). At this point, I started to notice all the bits of equipment used for each plane which was incredible. Then, I started to wonder what all that equipment was and what it was used to. Fortunately, I’m…
