I have lived in London for more than 16 years now. The historical architecture, incredible restaurants, twinkling skyline, trendy neighbourhoods, the list of amazing things to do in London is enough to fill a lifetime! Add kids to the equation, and it again, brings a whole different perspective to this incredible city. As a family [...]
I feel somewhat nostalgic about Northern Ireland. When I first met Travel Mad Dad I was planning on going three weeks later, and he joined in on the fun regardless of the fact we'd only known each other such a short time. That trip really paved the way in our relationship to come, as we [...]
Thanksgiving is a time for families and feeling thankful but that doesn't mean you can't be thankful while exploring a new destination or relaxing by the beach. In fact, it will probably take away a lot of the stress and give you a lot more to be thankful for! With a little help from our [...]
I am a big fan of Halloween, it was such a big thing at home when we were kids. Since moving to the UK, it seems it's not something that is celebrated here so much (although you can check out the best things to do in London for Halloween here!) That's why I was super [...]
The last time I wrote a blog to fill you in on our plans we were in Ireland, we'd put Esme into school whilst we were trying to complete the RV (Bertie) renovation and sell our house. During those few weeks we tried to settle into a routine of living our last few months in [...]

My mind is literally spinning out of control at the moment, we have so much going on. They say you should be careful what you wish for and now all our dreams of getting on the road full time for a while with an income (not from our blog) are starting to come true. I [...]
As a mum who has literally traveled all over the world, mostly baby wearing, my carrier is one of the most important pieces of paraphernalia I bring with me! I want to be able to do all of the amazing hikes, and reach those places you can't take a stroller, in comfort, for both me [...]
As a nurse, I love making up my travel first aid kit. We have travelled to some far-flung remote destinations with our kids, so having the best first aid kit for travel abroad offers peace of mind! We’ve rarely needed to use it, but, I wouldn’t take the chance of not having one. The most [...]
I am a complete zipping fanatic, whenever we go on a trip, it’s something we always love to find and try out. From Singapore to Ecuador and everywhere in between, it’s one of our favourite activities. Northern Wales is well known as the adventure capital of the UK and that’s thanks to the amazing Zipworld [...]
