Le Couvent d'Herepian is a luxury boutique hotel set in the beautiful Languedoc-Roussilon region of the South of France. With its rustic stone floors, earthy palettes and vaulted ceilings it'll transport you to the most thoughtful corner of your mind. The hotel's romance is inspirational and I wasn't surprised to notice a number of guests... Continue Reading →
With the days beginning to warm, it's the perfect time to enjoy a little gardening with the kids. Sow some seeds now and you'll have plants ready to go outdoors this summer. Best of all, whether you're green fingered or not, it's an activity the kids will love doing, an opportunity to teach them about... Continue Reading →
There are so many gems in this part of East London (and Essex) that are still not really known about. It isn't always easy to find them as they don't all have huge marketing budgets so I've put a short list of some of my favourite local things to do with the kids. These ideas... Continue Reading →

Truth is there simply isn't... Continue Reading →

If your children tend to have the odd bit of YouTube time (only YouTube Kids rather than the native and always on 'Approved Content' restrictions, check out how here), you'll be wanting to find some nice content for them. Here are some of my recommendations for channels to check out. Its a good list as... Continue Reading →
Edit: for a list of recommend YouTube channels, see here I have never allowed my children to use the main YouTube app and have always been careful to limit screen time appropriately. I also push the Cbeebies player on them as much as I can, though eventually they do sometimes just want a bit of... Continue Reading →
