Caravan Holidays With The Family

Travelling with kids can come at a great expense especially when travelling abroad. The cost for a package holiday abroad for a small family can run into the thousands. With a campervan you and your family are in total control of your holiday, a freedom and luxury that can’t be found with a package holiday deal which will mean you are stuck at the one destination for the entire holiday.

Making a Memory Box

When I was asked if I wanted to be involved in making a time capsule, I was intrigued enough to find out more – the only thing I know about time capsules is the Peppa Pig episode where they all make one at Peppa’s pre-school and Madame Gazelle and Daddy Pig find the one they made full of their memories from being a child. From my point of view it would give us the chance to do something as a family and for Roo to put all the things in her box that reminded her of her family. We don’t [...] Read more »
