We were recently invited to review Room on the Broom at the Nottingham Theatre Royal. When we go to the theatre we like to make a day out of it so we were thrilled to be offered a chance to eat at TGI Fridays to review their lunch menu. The show started at 2 pm […]
I’m not entirely sure why but I was really starting to lack chocolate during our holiday to Florida. I am a self confessed chocoholic and I had been nagging my husband to take me to the Toothsome Chocolate Emporium & Savory feast kitchen at Universal’s City Walk since the very first time I spotted it […]
I love trains, especially steam trains. There’s nothing quite like sitting back, relaxing and watching some stunning scenery go by. Plus of course, the transportation that you are riding in looks pretty special as well. Nowadays there are only a select few train holidays where you can ride on a steam train but the trains […]

A vacation with your family in Orlando! Well, nothing could be more perfect than that. After all, Orlando is an excellent destination for families as there are endless attractions and plenty of things to do with kids.

We were recently invited to the preview event of ‘Christmas at Blenheim’. We live quite a long way from Blenheim Palace so I looked into staying nearby overnight. The Travelodge on Abingdon Road in Oxford were kind enough to provide us with a room in exchange for this review. There are three Travelodges in Oxford […]
Help! It’s that time of year again. Gift ideas for my son’s teachers are needed. What do I do when I need help? Well, I turn to some fellow talented bloggers for some inspiration. We are planning on making their gifts this year but it would be nice to make them something they’d actually appreciate. […]
I had repeatedly seen great recommendations for Mythos Restaurant at Islands of Adventure, Universal Florida. So once we had our stay at Cabana Bay Beach Resort Universal booked I then booked us a table at Mythos. It’s one of the few restaurants at Universal that you can pre-book online for. You need a park entry […]
Trevornick near Newquay, Cornwall offers a range of different ways to camp. Whether you have your own tent or caravan or wish to stay in a static caravan, this is a highly recommended 5-star family and dog-friendly site.

On August 29, 2011, Disney extended their magical offerings by opening Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa on the coast of O’ahu, Hawaii. Working hand in hand with locals, Walt Disney Imagineers integrated some Disney magic with the rich traditions of the Hawaiian Islands to bring families a relaxing Disney experience away from the crowded theme parks […]
We have been to the 1940’s weekend in Woodhall Spa, Lincolnshire, for the past 3 years now. This was my first year visiting while blogging so this is my first write-up about it. The 1940’s festival takes place over the weekend in the middle of July. I am sorry to announce that the 1940s Weekend […]
When we booked our 3-week family holiday to Florida we weren’t totally sure that we would go to Universal. We knew little about it as all of my research had been about Disney World and where to stay for a break after Disney. Originally we had looked at going to the Florida Keys for the […]
