Easy to Reach Campsites in Europe
Campsites that are close to an international airport are handy for so many reasons. In this post I am going to list some of the best campsites in Europe that are within easy reach of an international airport (with direct flights from Ireland). All of the campsites listed are less than 30 minutes from an…
Dublin Airport Parking
When it comes to holidays, I think I speak for everyone when I say the least enjoyable part is parking the car, dragging your suitcases to the nearest bus shelter to wait for the shuttle bus and embracing the glorious Irish weather i.e., wind and rain while you wait. Am I right? Or is it…
Pumpkin Patches Ireland
I have had lots of requests recently to put together a list of Pumpkin Patches around Ireland that will be operating in 2022. I have done a lot of research to bring you an extensive list, and I really hope it helps you to plan a memorable family day out with the kids this Halloween.…
8 Days along the Wild Atlantic Way (with kids)
Stick the kettle on lads, I’m about to take you on a virtual trip along the Wild Atlantic Way. We set out on this trip in July 2021 with 2 kids in tow. It was actually a 9 day trip, but one of the days and nights was spent with family, so we will breeze…

20 Family Activities in Cork
I have decided to embark on the enormous task of compiling 32 blog posts of things to do in each county in Ireland. I know what you’re thinking.. ‘you will never complete it Tara’, and you’re probably right, but sure look we will give it a bash and see how it goes. First up, the…
The Irish Bucket List
If there is one thing that this pandemic has thought us, it is that this little island that we are so lucky to call home is breathtakingly beautiful. There are so many little gems to discover and explore right under our noses, and I am ashamed to say that pre pandemic we took very little…
Quirky Accommodation Ireland
Glamping in Ireland has been growing in popularity over the past few years, and even more so in 2020 with the rise in numbers of people swapping their usual international trips for short staycations in Ireland. When you think of glamping, you may visualise the typical bell tents or glamping pods, however there are a…
Duinrell, Holiday Park and Amusement Park
We spent three nights in Duinrell, in September 2019, and we are already planning our trip back. If I was to describe the Holiday Park in three words it would be: Paradise for children. We would happily have stayed for longer but with Ellie starting school this year, and Brian having very little annual leave…
How to save for family holidays, without breaking the bank
One question we get asked ALOT is, ‘How can you afford to go on so many holidays’? Do you often ask yourself why you are struggling to make ends meet, when that Mary one down the road is off on her tenth holiday of the year? Or why Paddy and Sheila are heading off on…
Sol Katmandu Park & Resort
We visited Sol Katmandu Park & Resort for 7 nights in May 2018, our last holiday as a family of 3. We were looking for an all inclusive hotel, short flight (as I was 7 months pregnant), with a splash park and plenty to do for Ellie, who was 3 years old at the time.…
5 Family Holiday Must Haves!
Right lads, let’s get one thing straight before we continue. The title may be a tad exaggerated. ‘Must Haves’ is a fairly strong claim to make! But look, ‘things you and the kids may or may not like for your holidays’ just doesn’t cut the mustard really, does it? So we will leave it as…
The Best Travel Speaker
Echo Dot (3rd Gen) We are definitely late to the party on this one! We only recently joined the Alexa family, with our purchase of the Echo Dot (3rd Gen), and I can honestly say that the whole family is loving it. You can never have too many gadgets, right? So, what gives the Echo…
Our favourite All Inclusive European Family Resort
Gran Castillo Tagoro, Playa Blanca Lanzarote We first visited Gran Castillo Tagoro in April 2017, and we are due to return in a couple of weeks for our 4th stay. We have stayed in our fair share of holiday resorts over the years, some good and some not so good. We all agree however, that…
The best baby pool float: 3-6 month olds
There are so many benefits to starting your baby swimming at a young age. My two favourites are: If you are about to embark on your first trip to the pool, or first holiday with your little bundle of joy, then you are probably wondering what flotation device (if any) you should buy. It is…
Booking Cheap Flights: Tips and Tricks
Flights can often prove the most costly part of any family trip. There is nothing more frustrating than finding a super deal on accommodation, only to find out that you would need to re-mortgage the house to afford the flights. Don’t worry, there are plenty of ways to bag yourself flights that won’t cost you…
3 Ways to remember your family holidays forever
The days of collecting fridge magnets are numbered. With most household appliances now being integrated, there are not many places around the home that you can display the hundreds of magnets that you have accumulated over the years.
