So who wants to go on a UK holiday where the sea is as good as (although maybe not as warm!) the Caribbean or South Africa?! Deserted beaches and turquoise waters surround this small island filled with subtropical plants and pretty rock gardens. The Scilly Isles is 28 miles off the coast of Cornwall and offers the most exceptional staycation summer escape, it’s a hidden secret and once you have experienced it you will want to go back every year!

New York New York!! I wanted to document what I got up to on my recent trip to New York and share my fave things I did with my sister for our lovely girlie weekend away to the Big Apple! We went away in July and there was a heatwave happening so it was super super hot.
Read moreFamily Camping at Embers Bentley
I was slightly nervous when Embers Camping asked if we would try out one of their campsites for a couple of nights. I'm happy to admit I'm not much of a camper, (having said that most camping has been at festivals and that's a different experience in itself right?) preferring my creature comforts and home routine.

We visited an old fashioned sweetshop in the beautiful medieval town Rye (about 10 minutes drive from the house) and walked along cobbled streets to pick some holiday treats. Kids clothes detailed below.
A UK holiday with young kids is always appealing as you never have to travel too far or deal with flights, bag weight limitation and jet lag.

It's that time of year again where the cold, dark, wintery grey days feel like they will never end and we start thinking about sunnier, spring and summer days to look forward to.

Read moreDamp Bestival
So we've only just returned from Damp Bestival, sorry Camp Bestival in Dorset, so I thought it would be good to write a few words whilst things are still fresh (as fresh as they can be after a muddy festival) in my mind!

We are hitting family favourite festival Camp Bestival in July. Held in Lulworth Castle in Dorset, this will be my first ever trip to Camp Bestival and the first festival I have taken the kids. It's going to be interesting as I'm not going to lie... I don't like camping!
Read moreMonster Mingle Halloween App
Finn is a big fan of games on the iPad and iPhone these days, he's at a good age to understand them (3.5 yrs old) and will happily sit and play them independently, it always amazes me how they always just know what to do?! This is pretty useful when you've got a million chores to run around the house doing! We all need moments of time out from our little ones - be it for housework duties...

So some of you may have seen our recent holiday snaps on social media and wondered where on earth this little Caribbean in England place is?! It was such a successful holiday and felt like such a secret paradise that I wanted to share some information about it. I don't know about you but I am always on the lookout for the best places to go with kids, somewhere that is easy, not too far and you actually come away feeling like you've had a holiday.
