“You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth” Spring has finally sprung. Well, at least it seems like it here in Germany but hey, you never know. I might be greeted by big fat snowflakes tomorrow morning. But let's not jinx it and enjoy it while it lasts because that's exactly what we've been doing this weekend. I don't know about you but whenever the sun comes out, ...

Living Arrows 13/52 - Little Miss Attitude is looking forward to the cinema
“You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth” I've shared this picture on my Instagram yesterday, but I just had to make this my Living Arrows photo for this week because it sums up Amy so well. She is such a funny little character and I loved it when she brought out Little Miss Attitude while she was walking around with her 3D glasses - hours before we actually made ...
Liverpool for families - Visiting Liverpool and things to do with children
I love a good city break and the UK has so many great city break destinations to offer that I could start a whole series on them. Now there's an idea! Today, however, I want to talk a bit more about Liverpool or in particular, Liverpool for families. Let's face it, your checklist for the perfect city break looks slightly different when you're traveling with little people. Therefore, I want to ...
Living Arrows 11/52 - We’re the happiest at the beach

We've had the most beautiful weather and it was my Dad's birthday, so we wrapped up warm and headed down to the beach. Amy and I were in our element. We're both happiest at the beach and could spend all day there. I don't even know why, but it's my absolute happy place. I only have ...
Pumpkin fun at Karls Erdbeerhof
At the beginning of this week, we had a lovely day out at Karls Erdbeerhof or Karls Erlebnisdorf as people call it these days. It's an adventure farm in Roevershagen near Rostock/Germany and a great place for all the family. Oh and I'm using the German spelling, so don't think I've repeatedly ignored the apostrophe! Karls Erdbeerhof is basically a theme-park inspired farm that surrounds a massive ...
My birthday: a family day out at Burg Schlitz
It was my birthday on Sunday and as the weather had been absolutely miserable and I'm not really a fan of parties, all I wanted was to spend a nice day out in the country. Burg Schlitz is a beautiful 19th-century castle and a bit of a hidden treasure here in the heart of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. The estate is around 30 km away from us and just the place for long walks in absolute peace and ...
