The Cineworld family experience and Zootropolis
One of the great things about your children getting that little bit older is the chance to enjoy family film experiences. Because, as much as I love watching movies at home with Joe during a duvet day, there is nothing like the experience of the cinema – the smell of popcorn, watching those trailers, filling the face with pick and mix and enjoying a great film on the big screen. On Saturday Pete, Joe and I went to our nearest branch of Cineworld to enjoy Zootropolis, the latest Disney release.

The Easter holiday saw weather of all varieties, from sunshine and blue skies, to heavy rain, strong winds, and even blasts of snow. When the weather is inclement, you may find yourself searching for something to do that will interest both children and adults, and will give you at least a couple of hours in dry surroundings.

Bank Holiday Ideas For Families
The first Bank Holiday of 2016 is almost upon us. Yes, Easter arrives this week, and families everywhere are looking for ideas and activities that will keep their little ones occupied, whatever the weather. As a mother of a very active, 7 year old boy, I know how tiring it can be keeping children who are used to being busy at school, occupied once they come home. But there are things you can do, and it doesn’t have to break the bank. Indoor picnic and movie day. Yes the weather isn’t great, so grab a duvet, pick your favourite dvds – Disney, Pixar or Dreamworks are always great, and then…

Things You Can Do in the North West For a Weekend Getaway
Staying in the UK for holidays is becoming more and more common. Going abroad can be expensive, especially with children. Despite the UK being a small little island, there is plenty to do. There are so many places that I know I have not visited before. One area I’d like to explore more is the north-west. There are a lot of places that I have not been before. So I just thought I’d share some of the things I know you can do, and things that I would like to do. There is a lot of green space in the north-west. Just thinking about the lake district and all that…
