A Weekend Away at Ardencote Manor Hotel and Spa

[Ad- gifted experience] I feel like the last stretch of school is so busy! Being working parents, most of our lives are actually quite busy between school runs, meetings at work, and after school clubs we just always have a lot going on. That’s why I was simply delighted to have a weekend away at Ardencote Manor Hotel and Spa! We actually went Sunday to Monday, so the two quietest days at the Spa, to really enjoy some relaxing, peaceful time together.

Ardencote Manor Hotel has a bunch of different packages to fit how you want to enjoy your stay. We chose a package with a morning spa session, afternoon treatment, lunch, dinner, hotel stay and breakfast the next morning, to really get the most out of our time away. Having the option to include a few set menu meals is quite fun, as you really don’t need to worry about finding a place to eat nearby and everything feels completely booked for you!

Urban Limitz Trampoline Park at Harlow Leisure Zone

Robin recently went to a birthday party at Urban Limitz Trampoline Park at Harlow Leisure Zone, and then, of course, wanted to have her birthday there. We have done a lot of swimming at the Leisure Zone, but hadn’t tried Urban Limitz previously, so I went on the task of booking up her birthday. When it comes to booking a birthday party, it’s quite a task, as the person who plans parties only works a few days of the week and you need to call them, leave a message, then wait for them to call you back. There also is a huge amount of information you need to collect from each person attending the party, along with getting them all to fill out wavers and submit them to you.

Lunch on the Bustronome Voyage Gourmand in London

[Ad- gifted experience] I had no idea that you could eat food while traveling on a bus in London, until Robin and I attended the Grinchmas afternoon tea bus last year. It turns out, there are a ton of these sort of tour a bus around London while having a full experience. The Bustronome experience takes you all around iconic landmarks in London, while serving very fancy looking French food! There is a four course lunch option as well as a six course dinner option, depending on what time of day you end up going.

Butlin’s Skegness Easter Feat The Masked Singer

We are a big adventure family and love going on holidays and days out. As Kai and Amelia get older, its much easier to plan a holiday away then it is to find a bunch of events that work well for a 7 year old but also a 12 year old and 14 year old. Last Easter break, we went to Butlin’s Minehead, so this Easter Robin asked so many times to go back to Butlin’s – and we picked Skegness for a weekend away.
