    Taking the perfect family photo {Bidvine review}

    September 21, 2016 - By 

    As a blogger we all know that our branding is really important. It’s been while since I had my blog designed and I’m currently working with the designer of my present theme on an updated illustration. Yesterday I emailed a few ideas over and I can’t wait to see what she comes up with. I’m not sure why but I’m quite shy about posting photographs of myself. I thought it was about time I got some new professional photographs of me and our little family. We have a photo wall at home but the pictures go way back to our…

    Tennis for all with the Great British Tennis Weekend

    June 28, 2016 - By 

    We are a family who loves watching tennis, especially Wimbledon, so we’re really happy it started this week! You are never too young to pick up a tennis racket, and when we were on the Ventura last week, we seized the opportunity to play tennis on their very own tennis court! Yep, nothing beats a game when you are on the top deck of a cruise ship! My children are 4 and 6 and they may still be developing their hand eye co-ordination, but they loved it. Tennis is a great way of keeping fit and active for all ages…

    May 22, 2016 - By 

    What does this time of year mean to your family? To us it means picnics, day trips and lots of fresh air. Unfortunately for my poor 6 year he also has to deal with hay fever which means itchy eyes and a snuffy nose. I’ve never suffered with hay fever but my husband does and was able to recognise his symptoms. I spent a while looking for something to ease his symptoms and have recently been trying out HayMax Kids allergen barrier balm. HayMax Kids allergen barrier balm is a prevention rather than a cure and acts to trap pollen, dust or…
