AD | Encouraging children to have less screen time

AD | Encouraging children to have less screen time can be tricky. Yoto's wonderful audio palters offer a way for children to listen to stories and music, and have the independence to do it themselves.

The Yoto Mini is perfect for both home and travel. It might be small but it's got a whole lot to offer.

Audio cards slot into the top of the player and children can discover fantastic stories, magical places and characters to inspire them.

We love the range of Yoto cards available, with everything from Enid Blyton to Queen. It's hard to choose what to get next because there are so many to choose from.

Head to mehimthedogandababy.com for a really detailed review!

Flying with kids can be tricky, especially when they haven't flown for a while.

Erin was 2 the last time she flew so a 9 hour flight to Orlando was a bit daunting. Erin was amazing though and loved it.

Sometimes, the excitement of being on a plane, entertainment and food being brought round is enough. I packed loads of snacks and all of the screens but we didn't really need them.

Erin really loves flying, especially if there's a good film to watch and it's definitely made me less nervous about going long haul again.

Do your children like flying?

Before we went to Orlando, Erin had never seen Star Wars. However, Galaxy's Edge was by far her favourite area at Walt Disney World.

A highlight was catching Rey as she walked around checking everything was as it should be.

Rey is not a scheduled character meet and this was the only time we saw her. Sometimes, you can also see Rey working on her ship!

Erin might not have been into Star Wars before but she's working her way through the films now we're home.

A whole year since I went to Brno! That time has absolutely flown by.⁣
Going somewhere and not really knowing much the destination beforehand can be really exciting. Brno turned out to be one of my favourite cities, with so much to see and do.

That trip made me wonder where else I could go, that I might not have considered before. Next year I'll be heading to Wroclaw in Poland with my sister. I can't wait to discover a new country, and a new city!

Have you been to Brno, or Wroclaw before?

We love a National Trust property and like to make the most of our membership.

Recently, we visited Anglesey Abbey in Cambridge and had such a fun day. Here are some of the things you can do there on a day out:

》Explore the house
》Pick one of the walking routes to take
》Let kids run around at the amazing play area
》Visit the spectacular gardens
》Count how many statues you can find
》Walk out to Lode Mill

You can easily spend a full day here or a couple of hours if that's all you have.

When Disney creates memories you'll never forget

When Disney creates memories you'll never forget

Enchanted Tales With Belle was something we only did because it had a short wait time and we were hot!

Erin got chosen to play the Beast in the story (which she excelled at) and ended up having a dance with Belle.

This was so wonderful because all children get to take part if they want to.

It was so magical I cried, of course.

Toy Story Land at Disney's Hollywood Studios was s

Toy Story Land at Disney's Hollywood Studios was so much fun and the theme is absolutely fantastic.

Top things to do are:

● Ride Slinky Dog - there's usually quite a long wait for this ride and sadly, it wasn't working when we were there.
● Find the Toy Soldiers - we were lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time for this. These super talented drummers put on a great show. We caught them just outside of Woody's Lunch Box
● Compete in Toy Story Mania - by far my favourite shooting style ride.
● Spin on Alien Swirling Saucers - think waltzers but slower. I thought I'd hate this one but it was really so much fun
● Meet the characters - you can meet Woody, Jessie and Buzz in Toy Story Land
● Have lunch at Woody's Lunch Box - I was craving a grilled cheese sandwich and Woody's is the place to go for this. Served with tots, it makes a great meal.

Are you a Toy Story Fan?

Save for later it you're planning a Disney trip!

When we booked our Orlando holiday I said it would

When we booked our Orlando holiday I said it would be a one time thing. I'm not sure who I was kidding.

Orlando is an expensive holiday, and the last one took years of saving. While we might not be able to go back soon, I have a 5 year plan in my head.

There's things I'd do differently a second time around though:
》Stay at a Disney property (a cheaper one)
》Not go to Discovery Cove (£££)
》Have more rest time
》Go to the parks later in the day to stay for fireworks and cooler temperatures
》Eat more snacks
》Maybe not go to Universal (or buy a ticket at the gate for 1 day)

Have you been to Orlando before? What's your favourite thing there?

AD | Growing up, Rocky Horror was always a favourite, and I couldn't wait to see it at the theatre.

This is a theatre experience like no other where you can dress up, get involved, and shout obscenities during the show. In fact, it's expected.

It's hard not to compare the cast to the likes of Tim Curry, Richard O'Brien and Susan Sarandon. However, this cast really put their own stamps on such iconic characters.

Get sucked into the madness of it all, join in with the rest of the audience and have the time of your life doing The Time Warp with an entire theatre full of fans.

The Rocky Horror Show is pure filth but in the best possible way. I've seen a lot of shoes this year but this is easily my favourite.

When Erin found out we were going to Orlando she a

When Erin found out we were going to Orlando she asked for one thing... an American Girl doll (thanks YouTube).

Erin saved her money up for months and months, with the goal of buying her very own doll while we were on holiday.

Going to the American Girl store at the Florida Mall was an experience in itself. There are so many different dolls to choose from, ranging from a historic range to a cultural range to Harry Potter!

It took Erin a long time to pick her perfect doll. At $115 per doll, it's important to get it right. Along with the dolls, there are accessories, outfits, pets, and playsets to choose from.

What really blew us away was all of the extras available. Inside the store you can take your doll to a cafe, have their hair done, and even have their ears pierced.

Erin had been looking forward to this day for so long and cried when she'd picked her doll because she was just so happy. It might have been an expensive shopping day but worth it.

AD | Just before summer ended, we had one final day out at Hirsty's Family Fun Park.

Filled with so many different things to do, kids bith big and small will definitely have a great time. From welly golf to trampolines to adorable bunnies to stroke, there's so much to do.

Hirsty's will be open again for October half term, where you'll get the chance to pick your own pumpkin!

Orlando was just so magical that I've struggled to decide on what should be my first post. ⁣
We got back a week ago and it's taken this long for me to feel back to normal and in a sort of routine. It also took me this long to go through the thousands of photos and videos I've taken.

Huge thanks to everyone who has been watching my stories, and sent messages! I've got 5 Orlando highlights if you want to go back and see anything.

Let me know what content you'd like to see about our trip!
