  • The Greek Island Cruise I’m Tempted to Book This Summer

    The Greek Island Cruise I’m Tempted to Book This Summer

    (And Hoping To Take The Big Small On) This started, as many of my travel daydreams do, with me looking something up for work and ending up far too invested for my own good. This time it was a Greek island cruise with Celestyal Cruises, and before long I was comparing 3-night and 4-night sailings,…

Club Med has been one of my top-selling partners, particularly in…

    New Adventures at Home and Away: Stepping Into What’s Next

    Life at Home: The Start of the School Era I’ve been a little quiet on here recently, but only because it has been a very busy summer! At home, it’s been a season of big steps for the Small People. The start of the School Era has arrived, and with it, plenty of moments that…

    Handpicked by Me: Prime Day Travel Essentials for Every Getaway

    Life has changed since the Small People arrived. I was always content with my Kindle, enough Wifi for Spotify, and my AirPods. Boy, have things changed and there will be quite a few years before we enter the Teenage Era. My poor Paperwhite gets far less attention. I used to love them as a kid…

    Those that know me should be very proud. Those that have witnessed (from the sidelines!) my previous ‘disputes’ will be more than very proud. Quick warning: If you’re wondering how we got here, the original “Was I the AITA?” post is still available.Spoiler: I was not. This is a continuation from a previous post, and it might…
