Our trip to Norfolk

I’ve been meaning to write this post for a while now, but I never seemed to be able to get round to it. However, although I’m posting well after our trip took place, it’s a trip that I want to capture as we had such a lovely time. During February…

This week’s My Captured Moment is a shot taken on our recent holiday to Dubai, which you can read about here. We had an amazing time and I think this photo captures that. The boys had gone to the kids club for a couple of hours but Heidi wanted to…

Our stay at the Atlantis, Dubai

During the May half-term break we went on holiday to Dubai. Simon and I have been a couple of times in the past – 10 years ago, pre-kids and five years ago when Oscar was 11 months old. Both times we loved it. The hotels are luxurious, the shopping is…

The Mexican Riviera #MyTravelMemory

We’ve always loved to travel. Before kids, we went on lots of amazing holidays and created so many amazing memories. New York, Hawaii, California, Vail, the Caribbean, Dubai, Hong Kong and Thailand are just a few of the places we visited. After kids, we’ve still managed to do a fair…

Our summer holiday

We’ve recently returned from our summer holiday, which was lovely. We went to a place called Benahavis, which is near Marbella. It’s a beautiful spanish mountain village, which we first discovered three years ago. I’m planning on writing a blog post to tell you more about it as a place…

Pentahotel Derby – The Grand Opening Party

Pentahotels are a relatively new hotel brand, who appear to be popping up everywhere. They position themselves as modern, funky and a little bit different. We love to travel and love staying in hotels, particularly if they’re a little bit different, so I was delighted when hubby and I were invited to attend the Pentahotel Derby…

A trip to Portugal

Last week we went to Vilamoura, which is in Portugal. We went a couple of years ago for my Dad’s 70th birthday and had a great time, so when decided with my parents where they wanted to celebrate their Golden Wedding Anniversary, Vilamoura seemed like the perfect choice. We set…

Our visit to Center Parcs Winter Wonderland

We spent this weekend at the Sherwood Forest Center Parcs, with Simon’s family, celebrating his Mum and Dad’s 40th Wedding Anniversary. We’ve been to Center Parcs a few times, particularly since we’ve had kids. It’s just so easy – we can load up the car and we’re there is 40…

Paris

We’re just back from visiting Paris and Disneyland Paris, both were fab! Paris was lovely as always. Difficult with the double buggy, but the upside was that we walked lots and saw things we perhaps wouldn’t have seen. We had a lovely lunch near the Sacre Coeur – French Onion…
