Category: Days’ Out

As a family, days’ out are really important to us. We love to find new and exciting place to go to, we love taking photos (me in particular!), we love making memories and we adore having fun together. Our days’ out at the weekends are something I look forward to all week as it is the only time we get really.

I also love to be able to report back to my followers and reviewing a venue from an honest viewpoint is fun to be able to do. I hope you can all find something to do from reading one of my blogs and I hope you can have amazing days’ out too!

The Lake District has always been on my “to see” list and for many reasons (mostly time and money), it took until just recently to actually get there. We knew that this area is completely dog friendly but having never taken a dog away on a full holiday with us before and having a pretty full on 18-month-old Border terrier we weren’t entirely sure how it would all go… This is our experience of taking a dog to The Lake District.

7 Simple Tips To Help You To Achieve Your 1000 Hours Outside Challenge

Posted on August 21, 2020November 20, 2024 by Emma Reed

This year we decided to take part in the 1000 Hours Outside challenge. The idea behind this being that we get our kids away from those screens and show them that the great outdoors can be amazing fun as well as good for their physical and mental wellbeing. Being a Mum to 2 very active boys I didn’t think I would find it too hard but come February, I realised I had overestimated how much time we spend outside in the winter months. It is so easy to make excuses that it is too cold, too wet, we don’t have enough daylight time and I suddenly became very aware of how much we all relied on screentime to entertain us until the better weather came.
