We travelled on Royal Caribbean’s ‘Ovation of the Seas’ cruise ship with our 6-year-old Kidsetter on route to New Zealand over New Year’s Eve. After boarding the ship, locating our cabin, attending the safety induction, it was time to kick back and relax ! We checked our Kidsetter into the Explorers Kids Club each day […]

Lego Learning
We travelled with our 6-year-old Kidsetter to Legoland California, staying at the Legoland Resort. What a treat ! This is the ultimate experience for Lego buffs. Legoland Resort sets the tone for fun immediately. We checked in and our Kidsetter was given a scavenger hunt to complete. Once all clues were compiled, he held […]
Sensory SeaWorld
SeaWorld San Diego took me by surprise when we visited with our 6-year-old Kidsetter. I expected the usual theme park rides, shows and fun atmosphere but what I didn’t expect was the consistent theme of teaching children about marine animals in a fun loving and interactive way. We began our day at SeaWorld […]
Glamping Moab
It doesn’t get much more fun camping out under the amazing starlit sky in Utah. It’s every kid’s dream and most adults as well. But you need to be prepared and to do it in style ! After a long 4 hour drive from the amazing Capitol Reef National Park we arrived off Highway […]
German Christmas Markets
We travelled to Germany with our 5-year-old Kidsetter. We checked in to one the grandest hotels I’ve ever had the pleasure of staying at – Steigenberger Frankfurter Hof. Such an elegant hotel, in the heart of the historical city centre and close to the central station (13-minute walk). A mix between the beautiful past and […]
Paris Disneyland
We visited Disneyland Paris with our 5-year-old Kidsetter in tow. Staying at the Disney’s Newport Bay Club Hotel on site for a couple of nights made the daily logistics a little easier. Only a little though; upon entering the hotel we had to have our bags x-rayed before entering the building. Makes sense given France’s […]
Christmas Magic
Joulukka in Finland is without a shadow of a doubt, one of the best trips we have ever had as a family. We travelled to Rovaniemi in Finland to visit the ‘Official Hometown of Santa Claus’ to celebrate Christmas with our 5-year-old in fabulous, storybook winter setting. We wanted to visit here whilst the Santa […]
Northern Lights
We were collected from our hotel in Rovaniemi by car, driven to Langonlampi lake where we were to have a traditional Lappish spa experience. It was an intimate setting, only the 3 of us and the Lappish couple running the experience. We had the remote and picturesque location to ourselves. I clearly did not do […]
Festive Helsinki
We travelled to Helsinki with our 5-year-old Kidsetter in tow. We were headed further north to see Santa and his elves in Rovaniemi, however we had to journey through Helsinki. Not one to miss an opportunity, we thought we’d explore this beautiful city at Christmas time. We checked into our splendid hotel – Hotel Lilla […]
Colmar Christmas Markets
We travelled to Colmar with our 5-year-old Kidsetter. Colmar is a medieval town situated in France near the Germany border. Hiring a 2-bedroom apartment in the town’s centre ensured we would be close to all the Christmas festivities. Colmar is renowned for being the ‘Magic of Lights’ at Christmas. The cobbled streets, lined with colourful […]
