How to Book a Relaxing Family Holiday This Winter

Want to escape the cold and rain this year and catch some winter sun? Family holidays are a time to create memories and take photos that you and your kids will cherish forever. However, it can also be tiring, stressful, and far from relaxing when you're chasing little people around a new town or city.

You might think that now you have children, your days of luxuriating on the beach have passed. However, with the right planning and preparation, there’s no reason you can’t sneak in some quality “you time" that will leave you feeling refreshed and recharged when you land back home.

If you want to book a (genuinely) relaxing family holiday this winter, then follow these three top tips.

First-time cruisers packing guide

With three children continually vying for my attention, the idea of getting away from it all and going on a cruise is very appealing. The idea of packing for one, however, can be overwhelming.

Grey bathrooms are having a renaissance right now - this delightful tone is the colour trend of the decade and can make a bathroom look super modern if used correctly. Using pale greys can look too cold and dark greys will appear too black, but getting the right colourway will give you a gorgeous room to relax in after a hard day. 

What I personally love about grey, is that it can be combined with different colours to really make the room pop. If paired with the right hues it can really make a designer scheme, give a calming effect, and add extra punch to your design.
