There were so many posts about Easter trips to choose from, I decided to feature as many as I could, rather than highlight just a few. I hope you find some inspiration for future holidays and days out from the following blogs. If you have any recent travel posts I haven’t mentioned, please add them [...]
About Trish Burgess
Trish Burgess started her blog ‘Mum’s Gone To…’ with a series of posts called ‘Mum's Gone To Iceland' where she was extremely ill on a whale-watching trip and thought she would die snow-mobiling on a glacier. Thankfully she survived and continued with less scary family trips: ‘Mum’s Gone To…Canada, Cyprus, Barcelona, Berlin etc. Originally from Newcastle upon Tyne she now lives in South Lincolnshire and travels with her husband and teenage son.

Stylish self-catering in Scotland
Our self-catering holidays in the UK have been a bit hit and miss over the years. We have booked properties which look wonderful on a website or brochure only to discover they are a bit shabby with hard beds, thin towels, blunt knives and damp, musty smells. Then it rains. Not this time. This time everything [...]
Travel Round-up: The cruise collection
Family cruises have certainly become more popular over recent years. However, if you’ve never tried a cruise with the family, you may have many questions and concerns ranging from costs through to dining arrangements and safety. Six parent bloggers have recently returned from a trip to the Caribbean where they cruised on the Liberty of the Seas. [...]
Travel Round-up: Half-term holidays
Did everyone have a great February half-term? Lots of great adventures, a chance to chill at home or were you victim to some of the bugs going round? As a family we have had some very successful trips at this time of the year, the best probably being a visit to Paris a few years ago when [...]
Travel Round-up: Winter fun and a Wild West road trip
It’s tempting during the winter months to stay inside, keep warm and hibernate for a while, dreaming of summer holidays with blue skies and sandy beaches. But family trips out during the colder months can be great fun as long as everyone is dressed for the weather. Chris, from Thinly Spread, took her family for [...]
Travel Round-up: Shopping in Germany, skiing in Austria and playing in Orlando
Now that Christmas is over, it’s rather nice to have a little look back at a few of the festive trips which were taken within the blogging community during December. Susanna (A Modern Mother) spent a fabulous weekend at the Legoland Windsor Resort Hotel. It’s worth keeping this in mind for a family treat next Christmas as [...]
Travel Round-up: Stories from South Carolina to Singapore
A piece of advice I often give to parents with regard to family holidays, particularly if the trip involves sightseeing, is to give your offspring a camera as soon as you feel they can manage it. Once we started taking our son Rory on city breaks abroad, probably from about the age of 9 [...]
Travel Round-up: Cornwall, Copenhagen and Betty the Campervan
I’m writing this round-up the day before we are due to travel to Suffolk for a mini-break in the country. By the time you read this, I’ll be back home again. I do hope we’ve had a nice time. If we have, it will be largely down to the blogging community which was on top [...]
Travel Round-up: Naughty names, dunes & yurts
There’s always something wonderfully childish about finding products in a foreign country which have a totally different meaning in English. Take the ‘Plopp’ chocolate we ate in Sweden in the summer: amused me immensely. Though not as much as a couple of the hotels we chose to stay in during our trip around the country. [...]
Travel Round-up: Camels, lizards & wet whippets
It’s been a few weeks since we returned from our summer holiday in Sweden and I’m still writing about it, bit by bit, on my blog. I don’t blog while I’m actually away. I like to keep a notebook and scribble things down, save leaflets, brochures, highlight things in guide books. It makes for [...]
