Day 2 of our London Citybreak with Kids. After the very long day of travelling and visiting the London Eye and clocking up 16km walking we vowed to walk a little less on Day 2, to give the kids (and their parents) a chance to rest. We took the train…
We’re just back from a five day/four night break in London with the kids. It’s a fantastic city to visit with family and we got to see so much our stay. Our focus was to do things that would engage the kids as that would leave all of us happier.…
I went on a 48 hour city break to Paris with two friends way back in October. We’d all been there before so we had a pretty laid back itinerary, yet we still seem to have covered so much. To read all about our first day including the fab central…
We were recently invited to review the Cinderella Train and Tea Party at Rathwood, just outside Tullow in County Carlow. The event is aimed at the under 9s and a fortunate clashing party invitation meant that my eight-going-on-twelve year old stayed home with Dad while I brought my six year…
On the very last day of 2016 we found ourselves in Ennis. (It wasn’t a surprise, we’d travelled there the day before, crossing the country for a friend’s family-friendly 40th birthday party.) We stayed at a hotel that would be retro if it wasn’t all the original decor and enjoyed…

As a family we are sometimes are stuck in our ways. If we like something, we don’t see any need to change it, and then, well it sort of becomes a “thing” and then we can’t change it. Take Santa visits for example. Last year (well, every year since 2010…
Back when we had two children we used to go on hotel breaks with the kids every year. We’d use our supermarket tokens to bag a bargain and visited Westport, Cork, Limerick, and Carlow among others. However, since Laoise was born three-and-a-half years ago we’ve gone twice, for a short summer…
up If summer is a time to be by the beach then Autumn sends us to the woods. Is there a sound more satisfying than the crunch of bronze leaves underfoot? Here are five of our favourite Autumn walks worth checking out before the leaves all fall and turn to mush.…
