I’m just back from my first ever camping trip and first ever family music festival, so being addicted to lists I thought I would share and share alike! I promise you won’t get such a comprehensive list elsewhere because: (a) I’m a bit wacky and love a bit of glamping and (b) I’m retentive about […]
Ok I admit it, the Big hairy northern one was right! It might not happen often, but his tendency to want to spend the spangdoolies was correct this time. A few weeks ago he had a big panic about our tent and said he wanted to go back and look at the Vango Airbeam; basically […]
I realise now that I’ve often looked on wistfully at images of Glastonbury wondering why I’d never been to a music festival and experienced the whole ‘vibe’ of camping, wellies and getting covered in mud. Well I need wist no more! I’m now officially a ‘proper’ music festival camper having just got back from Penn […]
I’m EXCITED. You might have noticed that after my ‘why family festivals are fab‘ post and ‘what to wear to a family festival‘. It’s quite likely I could become a bit of a festival bore! Nah, you love me anyway don’t you? (If you are actually loving it, make sure you keep an eye on […]

Are you worried about what to wear to a blogging conference? My main tip is to remember: There will be cooler better looking people than you. There will be people worse dressed than you. There will be fatter and slimmer people than you. So all you have to do is: Feel comfortable. […]
I know that shopping for Mums, Dads, Grandparents or Photographers is difficult, so I reckon you’re going to love this idea; Photos on canvas. I love having photos of the family around; I think it reminds us of happy times when we are exhausted and it stops me from panicking that I’ve forgotten about […]
What do Thomson Family holidays, the Guiness Book of Records and Whipsnade zoo have in common? And how come did we end up in A&E in Luton with Little Dimples? Well we got invited to a blogging event at Whipsnade Zoo hosted by Thomsons and Guinness Book of World Records during half-term. The timing was […]
