As you can see my our photo's this week we've spent the majority of out time outside despite the weather being atrocious! This week we've had sun, rain, snow, hailstones, we've had it all and I'm desperate for some warmer weather now. Hopefully next month when we are in Spain the weather will be kind to us. This week we took a trip to the park and had ice cream. We went to play group and then visited family where Noah got to enjoy playing with his older cousins. We played out in the garden with our next door neighbour and went on many walks. It's been a lovely week and now we just need to weather to lighten up and we will be sorted!

What have you been up to this week?

A night out with a difference



Leading on from my last year where I discussed 3 dates with a difference I thought I would put together a list of ideas of what I would love to do on my next night out on the town. The last time I had a real night out with the girls was such a long time ago now. In fact it was a few months before Noah was conceived, that's embarrassingly three years ago now! 

I think it's about time to dust off my heels, attempt to squeeze back into my favourite LBD and plan a special night out! 

Host a poker night
We could warm up for the night by playing Multilotto and a game of poker or two. I'm not the most competitive person out there and I don't gamble very often but there is something about the game which I really enjoy. It seems to bring out my competitive side and I certainly have a pretty awesome poker face too!

Rent a party bus.
I only recently came across these famous party buses. What would be more exciting than riding in a party bus while on route to your party destination. You can sip a glass of champers and have a little boogie. A great way to warm up for the night!

Be a VIP.

There are various nightclubs out there that now offer VIP packages for a fee. I would love to pool a bit of money together and book one of these illusive packages. Us ladies need to feel like VIP's once in a while!

So there you have it. I'm not big on nights out but if I was to do it again soon I would do it proper! A spot of poker, a party bus and a VIP package at my favourite nightclub. Sounds like a plan to me!
Do you have nights out often?

4 ways to get the most from your Luxury Holiday



If you’ve not been abroad for a while, you might be itching to book your next overseas adventure. There’s certainly no shortage of destinations and activities available for you to choose from, and as long as you’re savvy when you’re making your plans, you’ll be able to enjoy the perfect sojourn. If you’re keen to experience the height of luxury while you’re away from home, it’s worth paying attention to the following four tips. They should help you to make your next vacation extra special.

1. Plan extraordinary activities
Forget tried and tested family holidays; why not experience something completely new this summer instead? From luxury safari holidays exploring the flora and fauna of Africa to a voyage in a private yacht around Mauritius or Madagascar, there’s an array of extraordinary vacation options to consider. Perhaps you’d love to explore your spiritual side in the temples of Bhutan or you fancy sailing the backwaters of Kerala in a houseboat. Maybe you want to whale watch off the shores of Sri Lanka or you’d like to perfect your wildlife photography in the Galápagos Islands. You can get plenty of inspiration for your next holiday online by visiting the websites of bespoke holiday specialists.

2. Get local insights with the help of an expert guide
Guide books and the internet can tell you a lot about your chosen vacation spot, but they’re no match for an expert local guide. If you want to truly immerse yourself in the culture and attractions of your destination, it pays off to enlist the help of a knowledgeable guide. These people can lead you to the best places, give you in depth information that you won’t find elsewhere, introduce you to local folklore and traditions and generally make sure you get the most from your holiday experience. Having a guide to show you around should also help you to relax and unwind.

3. Select the perfect accommodation
Whenever you go on holiday, it’s important to make sure you spend some time choosing the perfect accommodation. Whether you want to get close to nature in mobile safari camps or you’d prefer to stay in luxury villas or houses, it’s worth researching your options carefully. Pay attention to everything from the facilities and amenities provided to the location. If you’re travelling with youngsters, ensure your accommodation is family-friendly too. Having a well-equipped base is essential if you’re to make the most of your time abroad.

4. Make sure your experience is seamless
Last but not least, make sure every single element of your vacation is planned to perfection. This will ensure you enjoy a seamless experience when you’re away from home. Organising everything from your transport and connections to your currency, itinerary and visas is a must before you jet off on your adventure. A hassle-free way to do this is to book a complete holiday package and let the experts take care of the details for you.

Arranging the perfect luxury holiday does take a little thought, but as long as you bear advice like this in mind, you can be confident that your next overseas experience will be everything you hope for.
