A gorgeous morning at Makers Cove! ✨ | ad

We had the most wholesome morning at Makers Cove, a true hidden gem in Liverpool. I absolutely love what they’ve created here, a beautiful, bright space where families can spend time together without costing a fortune. 💛

The prices here are unbelievably fair, by far the cheapest we’ve ever been to. It meant my children could enjoy more than one activity without me worrying about the bill running high! They offer canvases, T-shirts, pottery, colouring, and more. The whole space is so calming and inviting.

If you go this month, there’s a special Halloween craft selection, and next month it’ll be Christmas-themed! They also host fun themed events regularly.

Highly recommend Makers Cove for the perfect indoor weekend fun at such a reasonable price. We will definitely be back! 🎨✨

Wow… what a summer! ✨

I’ll be honest, I was so anxious about the school holidays after hearing all the warnings about parents “losing their minds,” but truthfully, I’ve loved having my little ones with me every day.

Of course, I won’t lie… there were moments where I did lose my mind trying to juggle everything 🤯 Between a full-time job, keeping the kids entertained, and wanting to be a present parent, something had to give and that ended up being social media. For the last couple of weeks, I went pretty much radio silent because keeping up with posting felt near impossible. My kids and my job had to come first, and I don’t regret it for a second. If the algorithm punishes me, then so be it… it was worth every moment.

This summer we’ve visited so many incredible places, met the most inspirational people, and made memories I’ll never forget. I’ve even had to turn down opportunities because we simply couldn’t fit everything in (a crazy thought in itself!). To all the amazing companies who invited us along, thank you so much. I appreciate every single one of you and love sharing these experiences with this community 🤍

Back to normality now… until the next adventure!

The smile says it all… 🐐💛

We spent the morning at Walton Hall & Gardens for their Zoo Keeper Experience and it was honestly one of the best activities we’ve ever done with the kids!

From 10:30–12:00, our little animal lover got to:
🛏️ Clean out and make the bed for the alpacas
🍽️ Feed the goats, pigs, chickens & more
🐰 Cuddle rabbits, guinea pigs & other furry friends
🗣️ Ask questions & learn from the amazing keepers

It’s hands-on, educational, and packed with animal fun,all for just £15 per child! Such great value for money and a brilliant way to make special memories 💫

📍 Children’s Zoo, Walton Hall & Gardens
Walton Lea Road, Warrington WA4 6SN

🗓️ Sessions are held a few times a month and must be booked online in advance

A day of adventure at Stump Cross Caverns ✨🪨 | ad

This was a day out like no other and because of that, it’s one we’ll remember forever.

We picked up our UV lights and dinosaur/fairy trail from check-in and headed underground to explore the incredible caves. The kids loved hunting for hidden clues along the way, and completing the trail meant a prize at the end!

Afterwards, we booked onto Crystal Wonders, where we learnt all about different crystals and even got a kit to make our own.

Lunch and ice cream from their gorgeous little café was the perfect refuel before our final adventure, panning for real gems! The kids discovered gemstones and fossils they could take home, making the day even more special.

This was such a fun and fascinating experience for all ages. Our youngest is only 3, and she was totally engaged the whole day, proof that this is a trip for the whole family. We haven’t stopped talking about it since!

FUNFETTI FESTIVAL at Imagine That! 🎉 | ad

We love Imagine That! for so many reasons, it’s an incredible day out for children of all ages, making it perfect for families with both little ones and pre-teens. With multiple themed rooms, an amazing outdoor space, craft areas, and science experiments, it’s always such an engaging and educational experience.

But this summer, they’ve made it even better with their Funfetti Festival event! Throughout the day, the kids received so many amazing gifts as they explored each room, including:

🎒 Funfetti Tote Bag
🌟 VIP Wristband
✨ Bottle of Pixie Dust
🕶️ Celebrity Sunglasses
🌿 Festival hat
🎤 Glow baton
🎨 Souvenir painting
🪻 Slime
✨ Ribbon wand
📸 Souvenir photo
🥁 Jungle Drum
💨 Windmill
🫧 Celebration bubbles

Plus, they got to enjoy a Disco-Rave, a Sensory Dry Ice Science Show, and so much more! The kids absolutely loved raving at the end with their glow sticks, such a fun way to finish the day.

It was an amazing day out and incredible value for money with everything that’s included. Highly recommend for a summer family adventure!
