Chickenjoy at Jollibee, Nottingham-2

Chickenjoy at Jollibee, Nottingham

AD | Gifted meal We always look for new places to eat as a family, whether that be for a sit down meal or somewhere quick and easy. On a recent trip to Nottingham, we tried Jollibee a try for the first time.

AD | Press tickets Although I lived in Nottingham for 3 years while I was at university I didn’t really do any of the touristy things… which I really regret now. Right at the top of my places to visit with Erin was Nottingham Castle!

Running until 17th December, talk a walk through the walled garden, through the grounds, and follow the lights around the beautiful trail.

We were blessed with crunchy snow on the ground, an eerie fog in the air and a festive glow on the entire trail. 

This is a great trail for families as its not too long and there's fun and games to find along the way. Finish off your walk with some chips, a burrito or by toasting marshmallows.

AD Happy 1st December!! I've finally given in an AD 

Happy 1st December!! I've finally given in and declared it time for Christmas. 

We've got a super busy month coming up. Here's what we have planned:

🎄  @blicklingnt this weekend. 

🎅 Christmas Spectacular at @hippodromegy

🎄 Panto at @gorlestonpav

🎅 Elf the Musical! 

🎄 Sleeping Beauty at @norwichtheatre. Usually, we'd go for afternoon tea at @assembly_house, but the matinee is earlier this time so the times don't work out for us. 

🎅 Early Christmas Dinner at the Beechwood Hotel in North Walsham 

I love having so much to look forward to in December. Do you have any fun plans?

When I asked what we should do in Paris, so many o When I asked what we should do in Paris, so many of you said go to Angelina... so we did! 

Angelina is the kind of place to go if you want a special treat. First opened in 1903, these tea rooms have had guests such as Coco Chanel in the past. Inside is full of beautiful lights and gorgeous marble tables. 

Known for the thick and rich hot chocolate, we had to try some. Erin wasn't impressed and was disappointed that it wasn't like our hot chocolate. It's definitely an acquired taste.

The cakes on the other hand are phenomenal. The Mont Blanc has been made the same way since 1903 and is one of the best things I've ever eaten. 

Angelina do more than cake and hot chocolate though and I wish we'd gone for breakfast. Next time!

Save for your next trip to Paris!

Looking for something different to do in Norwich? Looking for something different to do in Norwich? We visited Mulligans on Riverside for a round of crazy golf and I think it's the best I've ever been to. 

With 18 completely different and themed holes that will really give you a challenge, there's something for all to enjoy. 

As well as golf, Mulligans has shuffleboard, darts, ping pong and arcade games! Although we only played golf, we want to go back to try other games, as well as the delicious sounding food. 

Children are welcome during the day, meaning its a great place to have fun as a family! 

Do you like crazy golf?

It can be hard to decide what to do in Paris, espe It can be hard to decide what to do in Paris, especially if you're visiting with kids.

The Aquarium de Paris is a fun choice for a few hours and even better if you need something to do on a rainy day.

Although this aquarium isn't huge, there's plenty to see. We particularly loved the jellyfish, cinema showing short films and the koi carp pond! 

We spent a couple of hours here just before heading across the road to the Eiffel Tower so they're great activities to do on the same day.

Do you have a favourite aquarium? Let me know where it is!

Did you know you can get to Paris in just over 2 h Did you know you can get to Paris in just over 2 hours on the Eurostar?

We chose the Eurostar for our holiday to Paris rather than flying! The seats are so much more comfortable, there's no big luggage restrictions and the journey was mostly stress-free! 

Have you travelled by Eurostar before?

AD | The King and I has come to Norwich this week AD | The King and I has come to Norwich this week and I got to see it on opening night! 

The King and I was completely new to me and I didn't know what to expect. I spent the whole show either smiling, laughing or crying.

There's a reason this is such a popular musical. From an amazing cast, to beautiful sets and costumes, it's a story of love and change in an already hard world.

AD | The Christmas season has officially started a AD | The Christmas season has officially started and Luminate Sandringham is now open! 

Twinkly lights, Christmas music, magical fairies and fairground rides... From the moment we arrived, I felt the Christmas magic.

With a mix of new and old favourites, Luminate is such a magical experience for the whole family. The walk takes around 60-90 minutes and there's a fairground and food to enjoy after (additional cost).

A trip to Luminate Sandringham marks the start of Christmas for us and is now a yearly family tradition. 

Do you enjoy a Christmas light trail?

Thinking about going to Paris but not sure where t Thinking about going to Paris but not sure where to stay? The ibis Styles Paris Montmarte Nord is ideal for all travellers but especially families.

Located in the beautiful area of Montmarte, you're only a 6 minute walk from 2 different metro stations, making it a great base for exploring Paris.

Our room had one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept in, along with those stunning Parisian balcony windows. Rooms aren't massive but they are helped by having a separate bathroom and toilet. 

Our stay included breakfast, which we all enjoyed. The selection included meats, cheeses, fresh baguettes and pastries as well as breakfast cake!

This year we tried something new for bonfire night This year we tried something new for bonfire night and paid to go to a display for the first time. For £6.50 each, we spent the evening at @hautboisactivitycentre in Coltishall. 

Opening at 5pm, you could do activities such as wall climbing, abseiling, and grass sledging, all included in the price. Led by Girl Guiding groups there was also marshmallow toasting and craft activities for ab additional cost. 

Food was available too which was great. Burgers and hot dogs were well priced at £3.50 each whole crepes were more expensive at around £5.75.

A bonfire was lit at 7pm, with fireworks following shortly after. As this was a ticketed event, it wasn't massively busy and had such a nice family feel to rye evening. 

We had a great time and definitely want to go back next year. 

Did you do anything for bonfire night?

It can be really hard to decide where to stay when It can be really hard to decide where to stay when planning a holiday to Orlando.

We stayed at the Lake Buena Vista Resort Village and Spa in a 2 bedroom apartment, a great choice for families.

The location is great as it's not too far from either Disney or Universal. We used a mix of free shuttle buses and Ubers to get around. 

Our 2 bedroom apartment had everything we could need with 2 bathrooms, 2 bedrooms, living room, dining area and full kitchen with laundry facilities!

On-site, you'll find a fantastic pool with pirate ship slide, convenience store and Pizza Hut express!

AD | Do you remember the coughing scandal on Who W AD | Do you remember the coughing scandal on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? 

The story is now a hit stage show and you can see it in Norwich until Saturday 4th November.

Telling the story of Charles and Diana Ingram, the audience get to decide whether they think they were guilty... with the help of keypads to vote! 

This was such a funny show and so much more than I was expecting it to be.  The cast is phenomenal, and Rory Bremner is perfection as Chris Tarrant! 

Tickets are still available so go and see it while you can!
