Lately, my Pinterest and Instagram feeds have been full of cute kids’ hairstyles — from heart-shaped braids to rainbow bubble ponies — and I have to admit, I love trying them out on my daughter (when she lets me!).
But let’s be real — we don’t always have time to create a full masterpiece on busy school mornings. So when I came across the bubble braid hairstyle, I thought this might be the...
May has been a month packed with sunshine (well, a bit), family adventures, and some brilliant parenting chats. With half term in full swing, we made the most of the time off — from Cornwall to Crealy, and even a magical mini world in Babbacombe! Here’s everything we’ve been up to this month on The Parenting Daily .
Babbacombe Model Village has been on our list of places to visit for such a long time, and today we finally got around to going. I’m so glad we did, as we had such a lovely day out, and we’re already looking forward to coming back again soon – especially as we can return for free within 7 days using our ticket voucher.
After all the amazing sunshine we’ve had recently, we were a bit gutted when the weather turned just in time for May half term. But we’re pretty used to this weather now, so we haven’t let it stop our plans with friends.
Today we headed to Crealy Theme Park & Resort in Devon, and I’ll be honest – I wasn’t sure how this was going to go as the forecast said it was going to rain all day long...
During our recent weekend getaway to Bodmin Holiday Park (our third visit!), we were on the lookout for somewhere new to explore — somewhere beautiful, outdoorsy, and perfect for both the kids and the dogs. This time, we discovered Golitha Falls , and absolutely loved it!
Why We Chose Golitha Falls
Each year when we come to Bodmin, we try to find a local hidden gem where the whole...
This year, our whole family wanted a weekend getaway to spend some quality time together. We're quite a big brood now—10 adults, 6 children and 3 dogs—so finding somewhere to accommodate us all is no easy task.
A few years ago, we discovered Bodmin Holiday Park in Cornwall , and it worked so well that we’ve returned again this year—and once again, we had such a good time that I...
The sun is shining and the summer holidays are fast approaching! I don’t know about you, but this has got me starting to plan our family holiday . While the thought of lying on a sun lounger with a good book while the kids are splashing in the pool sounds very appealing right now, the thought of travelling with children isn’t always quite so relaxing.
My idea of the perfect Sunday is some kind of family adventure followed by some great food. So today, we headed off to Dartmoor to do just that!
One of our favourite places to explore on Dartmoor as a family is Dartmeet , also known as Badgers Holt. A few reasons this place tops the list for us are:
It’s set on the river and full of rocks to climb – which my children (
This Bank Holiday weekend, we decided to do something a bit different and take the family to watch the Exeter Chiefs play at Sandy Park Stadium. Now, I’ll admit—it was a bit of a risky choice. My 8-year-old daughter, who is gymnastics mad, isn’t a rugby fan and rarely sits still for more than five minutes. My 10-year-old son is completely sports-mad, but rugby isn’t really his thing either....
We moved into our new house 6 months ago and I have been slowly decorating all of the rooms. The next project on the list is my 8 year old daughters bedroom. I have been hearing lots of people talking about designing rooms and gardens using Chat GPT, so I thought I would give it a go.
My daughter is a fiery second child who certainly knows her mind. Any ideas I have suggested to her...
