Juggling kids and a full time job isn’t easy. Here’s a space to find cool places and things to do!

Juggling two exhausting kids and a full time demanding work is never easy. So I created a blog to help parents with what I have learnt along the way...

There’s so much more to Viseu than meets the eye. 🇵🇹✨

We came for Viseu and ended up discovering one of Portugal’s best-kept secrets. Charming historic streets, incredible food, amazing local wines, and day trips that completely exceeded our expectations.

From the breathtaking Fragas de São Simão, with its crystal-clear waterfall and dramatic scenery, to the elegant streets of Santar, and a seriously memorable meal at the famous 3 Pipos in Tondela.

What surprised us most wasn’t just how beautiful it was - it was how peaceful it felt. Fewer crowds, authentic experiences, and the kind of places that remind you why you love travelling in the first place.

If you’re planning a Portugal road trip, don’t skip the region of Viseu. It might just become your favourite stop.❤️

Would you add Viseu to your Portugal bucket list? Save this post for your next adventure!

POV: You came for Aveiro… but Costa Nova stole your heart. 🇵🇹❤️

We came for Aveiro and Costa Nova and ended up falling in love with this whole corner of Portugal.

From the colourful houses of Costa Nova and the endless beaches of Torreira to the charm of Vista Alegre, the gorgeous church in Valega and the beautiful streets of Ovar, every stop felt like a hidden gem. Add incredible seafood, golden sunsets and some of the kindest people we’ve met, and it became one of our favourite trips in Portugal.

Travelling with kids can sometimes feel like hard work, but this was one of those trips where everything just clicked. Slow mornings, beach days, long lunches and memories we’ll be talking about for years.

Sometimes the best destinations aren’t the ones everyone is talking about... they’re the ones you almost skipped.

Would you add Aveiro and Costa Nova to your Portugal bucket list? Save this post for your next road trip! 🇵🇹✨

Brunching at The Buttery in Belgravia ☀️🌿🤍

Tucked away at The Lime Tree Hotel, this charming little garden feels like a hidden oasis in the heart of London 🌸✨

Delicious brunch, perfectly cooked eggs 🍳, great coffee ☕️ and such a peaceful setting to escape the city for a while.

If you’re looking for a cozy gem this summer, be sure to add this one to your list! 🌿💛

Seafood lovers, this one is for you 🦞🐟✨

We had a fantastic meal at Faber Restaurants and honestly, the seafood is always outstanding. Fresh, beautifully cooked and full of flavour 🤍

And whatever you do... don’t leave without ordering the Honey Toast for dessert 🍯🍞🍨 It’s an absolute must and the perfect way to end the meal!

We’re so lucky to have such a wonderful seafood restaurant so close to home. One we’ll definitely keep coming back to. 🥂✨

Brunch dates with my eldest are always a good idea 🤍☀️

Spent a lovely time with Leonor at Mint Cafe in Acton, enjoying delicious eggs 🍳, the perfect chai latte ☕️ and making the most of their gorgeous outdoor seating 🌿✨

With the warmer months ahead, it’s one of those places that’s perfect for a relaxed brunch, a catch-up, or simply enjoying a little sunshine.

These one-to-one moments together are becoming even more special as she gets older. 💛

A first look at The Canopy at Olympia ✨🏛️

After years of transformation, it’s incredible to see this ambitious vision finally come to life 🤍

From the striking architecture ✨ and beautifully designed spaces to the outstanding food 🍽️ Wolves of Tokyo and breathtaking rooftop terraces 🌿🌇, every detail feels thoughtfully considered.

A true work of architecture and one of the most exciting additions to West London in recent years. And as locals, we couldn’t help thinking how lucky we are to have such an incredible new destination right on our doorstep ✨🥂

We live in London... but never do this 🫣Despite being born & raised in London, the girls don’t really do the classic tourist trails. So we decided to change that😜

First stop: trying a sushi dog in Piccadilly 🌭🍣 and, of course, an obligatory browse in 📚 Then onto and ...

🍪 The new Biscuitorium at Fortnum & Mason is a dream for biscuit lovers 🇵🇹 Unexpected highlight: finding so many Portuguese products.

✈️ The airport lounge at Harrods was an instant hit with the girls. And don’t even get me started on their food hall 😋

Such a fun reminder that sometimes the best way to experience London is to see it through fresh eyes 🤍

Come with me on a gorgeous stroll through Belgravia in Bloom & Chelsea in Bloom 🌸✨

Starting around Motcomb Street, then wandering through Elizabeth Street, Eccleston Yards, Sloane Square, Duke of York Square, and ending on Pavilion Road 💐

One of my favourite things about London is how entire neighbourhoods transform at this time of year - flower-covered streets, hidden corners, cafés spilling outside, and that feeling that the whole city suddenly comes alive in the sunshine ☀️

And with Belgravia in Bloom & Chelsea in Bloom finishing in the next few days, this bank holiday weekend is the perfect excuse for the prettiest London floral adventure 🩷
