Orlando 2013... we thought it was a once in a life Orlando 2013... we thought it was a once in a lifetime holiday.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Just a couple of days ago though we booked to go back in 2023, 10 years since our last visit and the trip when we got married.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I can’t quite believe that we get to the Erin back to one of our favourite places and of course, Disney! It might be 2 more years of waiting but the excitement level is sky high.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Have you been to Orlando with kids? Anything you’d recommend doing?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #Orlando #OrlandoFlorida #WaltDisneyWorld #Disney #UniversalStudios #InternationalDriveOrlando #FamilyHoliday #VisitOrlando #VisitFlorida
When we booked to stay in Greenwich over the summe When we booked to stay in Greenwich over the summer we had no idea where there was to do and whether there would be enough for Erin to do. The National Maritime Museum turned out to be one of our favourite museums and even better that it's free! You should book tickets online in advance but they were also letting people in on the day as well. Here, you'll find all kinds of cool galleries out ships and the sea. Erin particularly enjoyed looking at the different badges, seeing the huge map of the world on the floor and playing in the children's galleries. Full review on the blog today! #ExploreLondon #VisitLondon #LondonForFamilies #LondonWithChildren #LondonDaysOut #LondonForKids #London @VisitLondon @VisitGreenwich #Greenwich #GreenwichForFamilies #NationalMaritimeMuseum #exploregreenwich #royalmuseumsgreenwich #VisitGreenwich

I might have been to London loads of times but the I might have been to London loads of times but there's always something new to see. We LOVED the Scenes in the Square statues in Leicester Square while visiting over the summer. There are great opportunities for photos in the Iron Throne, with well known characters such as Bugs Bunny and Mary Poppins! Have you seen these in Leicester Square yet? #LetsDoLondon @discoverlsq @VisitLondon #LeicesterSquare #ExploreLondon #VisitLondon #LondonForFamilies #LondonWithChildren #LondonDaysOut #LondonForKids #London
For the longest time Erin has been asking to go to For the longest time Erin has been asking to go to the @londoneye. It was something we were supposed to do in 2020 but for obvious reasons we weren’t able to get to London. Instead we made something that was a must do on a trip to London this summer. Tickets can be quite expensive but we made use of a 2for1 voucher from a Kellog's packet which make it much more reasonable for us. I'm not sure I would have been happy paying the full price. Erin, once on the London Eye, wasn't that bothered at all and instead wanted to play with her new corgi soft toy with some other girls in our pod. John and I loved the views though. You can read a full post over on the blog today with more information about what it's like. Have you been on the London Eye? #ExploreLondon #VisitLondon #LondonForFamilies #LondonWithChildren #LondonDaysOut #LondonForKids #London #LondonEye @VisitLondon
AD | Press trip ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ AD | Press trip ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ On our recent adventure to London staying at YHA London St Pancras we just had to pop across the road (yes, literally across the road) to King's Cross.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Neither John or Erin had seen the famous Platform 9 3/4 from Harry Potter so I knew that we needed to make time for this. There's a photographer there now and you can see your photos in the shop next door. Erin posed like a pro and didn't need any encouragement. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #LiveMoreYHA @yhaofficial #YHALondonStPancras #YHAStPancras #YHAHostels #Hostel @VisitLondon #VisitLondon #London #LondonForFamilies #FamilyTravel #ExploreLondon #LondonWithChildren #LondonDaysOut #LondonForKids #London #whatsonlondon #thingstodoinlondon @kingscrossn1c #kingscross #kingscrossn1c #HarryPotter
AD | Discounted dress⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Last week I was invited to @marksandspencer in Norwich to check out The Edit, a collection of clothes designed to work together to help you to create new looks with ease.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There was one piece in particular that stood out to me and that was this stunning floral midi dress. Soft, stretchy and incredibly comfortable this dress is great for the transition to autumn and then on to the colder winter months. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I think you'll be seeing me a lot in this one!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #MyMarks #MarksandSpencer #MandSAW21 @marksandspencer @marksandspencerfashionPR #FloralDress #FloralMidiDress #PlusSizeMidiDress #PlusSizeDress #Size20 #PlusSizeFashion #DiscoverUnder5k
AD | Press trip⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We've stayed in a lot of hotels over the years but somewhere Erin always asks to go back to is the place with the green bunk beds. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Erin was super happy to get to sleep in a bunk bed again on our latest stay with @yhaofficial at YHA London St Pancras. The bedding might not have been green this time but she didn't mind.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Family travel doesn't have to cost a fortune and YHA are definitely worth considering. YHA England & Wales is a charity with over 150 properties, open to anyone from schools, to families, couples and backpackers and they welcome guests of any age from across the world. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #LiveMoreYHA @yhaofficial #YHALondonStPancras #YHAStPancras #YHAHostels #Hostel @VisitLondon #VisitLondon #London #LondonForFamilies #FamilyTravel #ExploreLondon #LondonWithChildren #LondonDaysOut #LondonForKids #London #whatsonlondon #thingstodoinlondon
This year Buckingham Palace opened the gardens to This year Buckingham Palace opened the gardens to the public and although now sold out (and finishes soon) we were lucky to buy tickets early on for a visit in August. The gardens were beautiful and Erin even got a go with my camera to take pictures of some of the plants. We loved walking around and also being able to have a run around on the lawn. If the garden reopens next year it’s definitely something you should consider. @royalcollectiontrust #ExploreLondon #VisitLondon #LondonForFamilies #LondonWithChildren #LondonDaysOut #LondonForKids #London #BuckinghamPalace #BuckinghamPalaceGardens #royalpalace #Royal #RoyalFamily
Just before the end of the summer we were able to Just before the end of the summer we were able to get a girl’s day out with @littleboo_21 and her daughter. @pettitts_adventurepark was a great choice as it wasn’t too far away and there was loads for the girls to do there. Packed with rides, animals and play areas Pettitts is a great place to spend a whole day with younger children. Be sure to check out today’s blog post with more details about our day. #PettittsAnimalAdventurePark #PettittsAdventurePark #VisitNorfolk #NorfolkBloggers #EAGrammers #NorfolkFamilies #NorfolkLife #parentinglife #daysoutforkids #Norfolk #NorthNorfolk #NorfolkLiving #NorfolkMum #NorfolkDaysOut
Thank God it’s the weekend! While I’ve been t Thank God it’s the weekend! While I’ve been thankful to get back in my office to catch up on work and start getting ahead again, the heat has been unbearable some days and I’ve spent some of my afternoons napping.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Erin’s first week back at school hasn’t been the easiest either. Although she’s been fine while there after school has been difficult. Getting back into a routine with things like homework, along with being tired have made Erin, let’s say, not the nicest.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Hopefully next week will be a bit easier!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #ukparentbloggers #ukbloggers #discoverunder5k #itsabloggerslife #Norfolkbloggers #NorfolkMum #motherhoodunplugged #honestmotherhood #family #familylife #daytodaylife #lifeupclose #parentsinthepicture #documentyourlife #beinthepicture #metime #gettoknowme #lovethecamera #plussize #plussizefashion
AD | Press trip⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Just before Erin went back to school we had one last adventure with a trip to London staying at YHA London St Pancras and we couldn't have asked for a better location. A stone's throw from King's Cross St Pancras, it was a perfect base for exploring London. Transport links couldn't have been better with the tube on the doorstep and lots of different options for buses.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You may not have considered YHA for family travel before but with private en suite rooms available, it's definitely a great option!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #LiveMoreYHA @yhaofficial #YHALondonStPancras #YHAStPancras #YHAHostels #Hostel @VisitLondon #VisitLondon #London #LondonForFamilies #FamilyTravel #ExploreLondon #LondonWithChildren #LondonDaysOut #LondonForKids #London #whatsonlondon #thingstodoinlondon
