🙌 A summer holiday activity that’s both child and parent pleasing?

I took my kids bowling once, they loved it. I didn’t.

This experience is different! A small, independent bowling alley, that we all enjoyed. The boys loved the bowling and I enjoyed a hand crafted cocktail.

After, we had lunch and the food was actually delicious!

🎉 Get 50% bowling, weekdays before 2pm with code: SUMMER50 (valid until 1st September)

Kinda chic to hop on this trend! So, here’s mine:

Kinda chic to hop on this trend!

So, here’s mine:

✨ Travel with your kids and actually enjoy it. Yep, it’s not always easy but I love it still.

✨ Turn a nap-time project into a career. My blog started as a hobby during my second babies nap time. Now it’s grown to 50k monthly readers.

✨ Dress for yourself (and wear the same outfits for years). Enough said.

✨ Show your children beautiful places around the world. I love beautiful places and I’m so pleased to share that with my family.

✨ Choose nature and free activities over expensive attractions. A park, a playground, they’re happy!

✨ Be more to become more intentional about the products you buy and the ingredients in them. Trying to chose more natural, health focused products is becoming increasingly important to me.

Do you agree with any of these?
