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.

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...

My son has always been mad about anything with four wheels, with monster trucks being his absolute favourite.
While I mostly leave him to play with these imaginatively, I do love trying to come up with bigger activities where his siblings can get involved too, and we can keep playtime fun and engaging.

Does your little one love a good challenge? Mine does! My 8-year-old has been asking me for all sorts of quizzes lately — spelling, maths, you name it. So, I thought, why not turn it into something fun we can share with other parents too?

With Easter just around the corner, I’ve been starting to plan out our Easter egg hunts – yes, that’s right, plural! We’ve got a few happening this year: one just for us and the children on Easter Sunday , and then another with family coming over. That means I need a lot of eggs.
But I’ve got to be honest – when I popped into the supermarkets recently, I was genuinely shocked at how...
