A cosy night in with Disney
We were given a few Christmas inspired items from shopDisney to have a cosy family night in talking about Christmas. Which isn’t hard to start going with two excitable girls. The products we received included personalised pyjamas, a Jigsaw, two Mugs for hot chocolate and some colouring in crafts. With the weather turning colder and the nights getting…

The ultimate list of 2018’s Christmas Sandwiches!
The countdown to Christmas is officially here and with the BIG news that Greggs have released their festive bake, it’s time to look at sandwiches. We were having a chat with a friend (Lee) a few weeks ago and he let slip that he rated the Christmas sandwiches in a top 10 list. I never…

How much did we save using the ‘I Amsterdam’ City Card?
As we were planning our Amsterdam trip this summer Google kept suggesting the ‘I Amsterdam’ city card. This card covered museum entry, public transport & a canal boat ride. Would we get back the 84€ it would cost us for the 72 hours in the city? We decided to take the punt, explore the city…

Let’s play What’s that Smell? at the Hoopers!!!
There are some things that become memories that last and I’m sure our recent games night will be one of them. I know that every time we meet up with our friends the story will come out again for at least a year. The story about how Alan hosted a games night and spewed all over the carpet!…

Glamping in Huts in the Hills & Amazing Star Gazing in Northumberland
Friday night and the sun is setting as we head North to find our accommodation for the night. Catherine had spotted a new venue offering nights in a Shepherd’s Hut four weeks earlier and they looked quirky and fun. All I knew was that the Largest Shepherd’s Hut (The Cheviot) had a main bed-room and a…

Discovering Hotel Not Hotel in Amsterdam
When my parents kindly offered to take the girls on a Norweigan Cruise this summer, we decided to take the opportunity to head off on a child-free city break. We toyed with a few destinations but settled on Amsterdam. With daily KLM flights from Newcastle with less than an hour flying time and easy transfer…

Choosing A Budget Hotel in Florida!
We’d found the amazing cheap Florida deal, but didn’t like the look of the cheapest hotel. I’m sure it was OK as we spoke to many people on the flight that were going there, but I wanted a little more. I’d never stayed over on International drive before and had always been nearer Disney Springs area. So…

Inflate Space Newcastle – The Inflatable Theme Park.
After encouraging the kids to help tidy out the garage all morning. Followed up by finishing off the weekend homework, our Sunday was pretty dull. And the kids kept reminding me of this. Catherine was at work and I was aiming to get lots of jobs done. So as a means of reward for the…

How much our £2000 Florida holiday really cost!
We’ve returned from our “cheap” last minute Florida deal, but how much did it really cost? After all, this was our alternative for £3,600 11 days all inclusive in Benidorm. My friends had told me year on year food and shopping is cheap outside of the theme parks, so we gave it a go. Recapping…

What is Inside Wonderworks on I Drive?
As a family, we’ve been going to Florida on and off for about 8 years. Previously with my parents, I’d been 4 or 5 times. It has always been somewhere we loved going as there is so much to do. No matter how many times you go there are always more reasons to return. Wonderworks…
