about me

As a mum of two with a dog in tow and a deep love for exploring the UK and beyond, I know how important it is to make the most of time together — and how quickly the costs can add up. That’s why I started this site: to share real, affordable, family-friendly ideas that work in everyday life. I believe you don’t need to spend big to create lasting memories. Whether it’s a hidden woodland trail, a seaside day trip with chips and sandy toes, a budget friendly holiday or a cosy rainy-day printable, this space is here to inspire, support, and simplify your family adventures. What You’ll Find Here: Free and low-cost day out ideas across the UK and abroad Dog-friendly tips for families with four-legged explorers Printable planners to keep outings stress-free Budgeting tips, travel hacks, and honest reviews from a fellow parent At the heart of it all is a belief that family time matters, and that joy doesn’t have to come with a big price tag. Let’s explore more — and spend less — together.
