Europe is one of those places that’s incredibly hard to beat for a family holiday. With dozens of countries packed into a relatively small area, it offers everything from iconic cities and beautiful coastlines to dramatic landscapes and rich history. You can wander the streets of Paris, explore ancient ruins in Rome, relax on Greek islands or take in the wild scenery of places like Iceland or Norway — often just a short flight apart.One of the things I love most about Europe is how accessible it feels. You’re rarely more than a couple of hours away from somewhere completely different, … [Read more...]
Christmas in New York – Insta vs Reality….
Christmas in New York had been on my wish list for as long as I can remember. The year before last, I finally went with Miss Frugal and honestly… it was one of the best trips we’ve ever had. But as magical as it sometimes looked in the photos, the reality was definitely a bit different a lot of the time, so I thought I’d share the reality behind some of the pictures I posted at the time. 😊From the moment I booked the trip, everyone I told was instantly jealous and full of “Oh my gosh, New York at Christmas is magical!” And I believed every word.

Our Summer Holiday to Bulgaria (And Why We Surprisingly Loved It)….
Last month, we did something a little different for our family holiday — we went to Bulgaria on a package holiday!It’s not somewhere we’d ever really thought about before if I’m honest and when we discussed what to do for our Summer holiday with the kids, a package holiday wasn't our first thought. We usually plan everything ourselves, booking the flights and hotels separately, but this time we fancied something a bit easier as we'd already been lucky enough to do a couple of other very busy holidays this year and for the first time ever, the thought of lazing about on a sunbed with … [Read more...]
