Beaches were lay on, Bahamas vacation home booked, cocktails were drunk and books (lots and lots of them) …

We have created this toddler bucket list. On it is places we would like to visit and things we would like to do. With our eldest now nearly 5 and the twins nearly 4, travelling has been challenging (see our Adjusting Expectations post) but is getting easier every day. So where do we want to go …

We’ve just had the most fabulous week at a family friendly hotel in Kalkan, The Kalkan Regency Hotel, hosted by Simpson Travel. I know already that I am going to be raving about this place for some time to come, and could genuinely see us returning again very soon. If the kids had their way …
We are going back to Greece this summer with Simpson Travel to a beautiful family friendly villa in Sivota and I am ludicrously excited. It was all confirmed last Friday and I can’t wait to fly out for a week of Greek sunsets and fun beach and pool days with the kids. Many regular readers will …
