My Family Holiday Travel Items And Essentials

Last year I wrote about how we managed to spend 10 nights in Spain for less than a grand, and this year we'll be doing the same. Only this time, it wont just be our family of 5, but there will be 11 of us. Our family, my sister and kids, and my parents. A whole family affair, abroad. 

When it comes to going abroad, I think there are a few items that are essentials to make sure you have the best time possible, on and off the plane. So, here is my list of summer holiday essentials for adults, for children, and for travelling too.

Femme Luxe Clothing Haul Review

A few month ago I wrote my first post about my Femme Luxe clothing haul and how I had loved some of the pieces from them. It's not often I get to focus solely on myself when it comes to clothing, and so when I do, I like to pick out pieces that I wouldn't usually buy, to see how they fit, and how they look on me.

Here are a few ways that you can spend more time as a couple...

A Guide To Choosing The Right Stairlift

As I've written about many times before, my dad is disabled and struggles with some every day tasks. Because one of his disabilities is to do with one of his legs, just getting up the stairs can be a task and half, and with the fact that they live in a 2 storey house, this can cause problems with just the basics of getting up to bed or to the bathroom.
