Visit Orlando

We have a long term relationship with Visit Orlando which couldn’t be a more perfect fit as Orlando is one of our favourite places in the entire world. We have been four times now, three times with Visit Orlando and in turn we create and promote Orlando and Visit Orlando across all our channels.

We also write regularly for the Visit Orlando official blog (after trips) and have managed to secure a double page spread in Family Traveller Magazine as well which Visit Orlando were delighted with.

We spent the day in London yesterday. We got the train in (Wren loves a train) and then had no huge plans except to wander and explore. We mainly spent the day in the West End area this time which we don’t normally do, mainly Covent Garden, Chinatown, Leicester Square & Soho. We walked for miles in the rain as it chucked it down all day, and someone kindly gave us some spare umbrellas as we were getting soaked.
We went to @sevendialsmkt for lunch, which I’ve been to before a couple of years ago and I really recommend. There’s so many different little stalls selling street food, we opted for @badboypizzasoc (swipe to see the pizza we got, it was gigantic 🤣). Wren got very excited by the giant cucumber as he is obsessed with cucumber (as you do). There’s a spot in Seven Dials Market called Cucumber Alley full of sweet treats. I also filmed part of a reel I’ve been wanting to film for ages (I’ll put that up sometime this week).
But mainly we just walked, people watched, ate, explored and took in the sights. Often when we come into London I always pack our days really busy with activities, so it was nice to just go and have no real plans. 🥰 Thought I’d do a little photo dump, if not just for the memories.🤍

The nicest day in the sunshine yesterday. ☀️One of those ones that are so simple, but end up being so nice. We started off our morning at Park Run for the first time in a couple of years, where Maddie and Jon ran the 5k. Then we sat in the sunshine and watched Lottie’s last football match of the season which was so nice, and Wren went on a play date with his friend (he had a lovely time).
Then in the afternoon we had some time in the garden (I started a new book), and later we had our neighbours, my mum and stepdad, and my grandpa over for a BBQ. Mads had the FA cup final on in the background, and we all got very excited/nervous by the penalties even though we hadn’t been that interested before 🤣 (well Maddie and Jon had but no one else was hugely fussed). Everyone ended up staying till 10ish and the kids loved staying up late. All in all a lovely day. 🥰

It’s been a big week for this 11 year old. She’s had SATs at school, which seem to have gone fine for her as far as we can tell from the limited snippets she has shared about them 🤣. She wasn’t too nervous about them and was more excited about going to breakfast club with her friends 🙃, but it was still something very different from the norm for all the year 6 kids up and down the country.

We’ve also had a big week football wise. She had her player review report for her football at the start of the week, followed by a player review meeting with her coaches, followed by a nervous wait to see if she’d be retained by her football club for next season. ⚽️
We found out at 6.30am this morning that she’s been retained by her club and they are offering her another player agreement for 2022/23. She’s beyond thrilled and we had happy tears before 7am. It means so much to her. 🥰

I took her out for a special afternoon/evening after school today just the two of us. I’ve been meaning to do it a while (will do the same although different things for her brother and sister over the next few weeks too 🥰). We went shopping and out for some dinner and we’ve had the most lovely time. We bought matching bff bracelets (in a pack of 3 so one for Lottie too 🥰), and I’ll treasure the fact she still wants to wear one with her Mum. 🤣❤️ (swipe to see)

Sometimes I forget she’s only 11, she’s mature, funny, caring and has such good chat, I love spending time with her.
We couldn’t be prouder of her. Now for her to enjoy the last few weeks of primary school before secondary school looms and the break from football too.
She’s growing up so fast, but in the best possible way. ❤️

ad You may know or may not know that I have been enjoying making grazing boards recently. Plus our family also loves a good breakfast, especially at the weekend if the girls have a late football kick off and we can have a leisurely one. The kids are at an age where they all love getting involved, and they love a picky meal, so I thought I’d try my hand at a breakfast grazing board.

I used lots of lovely fresh products from our recent @freshmilkandmore delivery. I have friends who rave about Milk & More and who have been using them for a long time, so I was really intrigued to try them out. Milk & More have some great fresh and organic products on their website (including their glass milk bottles which give me so much nostalgia from my childhood 🥰). You place your order and they aim to deliver to your doorstep before 7am. It was amazing waking up and having our breakfast waiting for us by the front door. They also champion local suppliers and are working hard to build a more sustainable future with more planet-kind choices.

We really loved the Milk & More experience and will definitely order from them again in the future (we didn’t get the waffles from there just fyi). And we will definitely do a breakfast grazing board again too, the kids loved it. Have you ever tried Milk & More? Or do you remember the milkman/lady delivering the glass milk bottles earlier in the morning when you were young? Or is it just me that is old enough to remember that! 🙃

Loving the fact it’s Friday and there was a bit of sunshine today (although maybe a bit optimistic with the short dress and Birkenstocks as was a bit chilly later on 🤣). I’ve had a lovely meal out with my pal @louisepentland - swipe to see her being a typical instagrammer taking a photo of her Wagamama’s corn (to be fair it was so good 🤣). I wore my new dress (from my Zara try on reel the other day) and now we are back at her house sat on the sofa drinking Diet Coke. A lovely evening. 🤣🥰 Hope you are having a nice Friday night.

ad It wouldn’t be spring without a visit to the bluebells, although I think we might have left it a bit late this year as they were already starting to droop and look a bit sorry for themselves by the time we got there.
Still they are so beautiful, I love a bluebell and I love taking photos of them too. It’s so nice to go for a dog walk and see them dotted about and adding a pop of colour to all the greenery.
You might have seen the other day that I made a reel of a lovely sunny day at the seaside in Brighton, where we were testing out @primigi_official shoes for the kids. They are at an age now where we can walk for a lot longer than we used to, in fact they love going on a walk (although they do love to moan occasionally about going on one 🤣). We do love going on family walks and exploring new places, especially with our dog Rolo too.
Therefore we always look for kids shoes that are not only stylish and comfy, but durable too. I hadn’t heard of Primigi before, but their shoes definitely pass the test so far. They are designed to make sure they are comfortable, lightweight and breathable on kids growing feet. Some, like Wren’s shoes are also eco- sustainable.
They are perfect for adventures and exploring- something we love to do as a family. 🤍

Once upon a time there was a lady (me 🤣) who wasn’t that fussed by football. I’d go in a different room when Jon was watching it, I just wasn’t interested in the slightest.
But then Mads become obsessed with football at 4 years old, she in turn made her little sister love it, and then their little brother too.
Matches constantly started being on our tv, both in the background and important games they’d fixate on, and I found myself actually getting quite gripped by them. I slowly started recognising players they all kept talking about over dinner or in the car. Then we started going to a couple of games here and there and I found myself enjoying the buzz of them.
Today I took the three of them to watch Arsenal women V Aston Villa. Jon is away at the moment and normally heading off to watch the football with them on my own isn’t something I’d want to do on a Sunday afternoon (although I’ve taken Mads to a couple of matches on my own before).
But I realised something today while watching my kids laughing and chanting with huge smiles on their faces.
I’m a convert. I know my centre backs from my centre midfields. I know a fair amount of (mainly female) footballers. I actually do really enjoy it.
I know that football (or any other sport for that matter) isn’t for everyone. It’s got it’s good points and bad points. But I’ll be forever grateful that the kids love of football has given us a joint family passion, one we can all enjoy together. We’ve got a lot to thank this game for. Just don’t ask me to explain the offside rule cause I haven’t got a clue. Even though I pretend I do. 🤣

Taking my mum out to dinner with my sister for her birthday. 💕Feels so nice to be in a spring dress, the weather has been so good today. ☀️ Looking forward to an evening just the three of us, it’s been far too long.
