Sharing Family Life and Travel
For Christmas, we decided to take the kids to Paris! I'm a big fan of making memories rather than buying things they don't really need that just becomes clutter. Why Paris?

With Mothers Day coming up it's got me to thinking about my motherhood journey. It's been a bumpy journey, with ups and downs, but a journey that I am very happy to stay on and keep experiencing. I have learnt a lot, changed a lot, messed up lot and questioned what I'm doing...a lot! As [...]
Yet again Christmas is going to be different this year and plans have been cancelled due to Covid. As we tried to figure this years Christmas out, we couldn't help but think of our Christmas in Canada. 2 years ago we were lucky enough to spend 2 and a half weeks in Canada with most [...]

We got SNOW!!! This made the last few days of 2020 lots of fun! 4 days of playing in the snow! We are very happy and had lots of fun! On the first day of snow, there was a lot of snow, but it was still exciting to see and be out it in. We [...]
A couple of years ago we went to Dunham Massey at Christmas and we were SO impressed! We absolutely LOVED it! Last year we spent Christmas time and New Years in Canada, so we didn't go to see the display. This year, with all the madness of Covid-19, we were unsure if we were going [...]
With all the madness that is going on at the moment, we thought we would try and give you a little giggle! Here are some jokes to share with the family. If you're making your own Christmas crackers this year, these might come in handy! What do you get when you cross a Snowman with [...]
