You’re always out with your kids!
I hear this sentence I think near enough every day.
And it’s true, we are out with our children A LOT.
1 we want to make sure we make the most of the time with them whilst they’re young and they still like being out and about doing things.
2 it’s often a lot easier to be out than in with three little ones!
We like to do a mix of stuff, but most of the time if weather allows we like to be outside!
And the kids loving visiting places and exploring.
Often people will say oh don’t you think you should have a day in? Or that children need to learn to be bored.
Well, we do have days in at times and lockdown certainly helped the children and myself learn to be more comfortable just being home.
However, I say, you do what suits you and your little ones best at the end of the day. As they say you do you!
I mean I’m not naive I’m aware there’ll be days ahead when they likely won’t want to be out and would rather be on a computer game, or as they get older out with their friends and away from us!
Whilst they’re happy to be with us and get outdoors I’m going to encourage and embrace it though - they’ll not be little for long and it’s so good for them to be out in the fresh air and experiencing new things.
I’m always on the lookout for new places to try out and I noticed lately that often people will ask me for ideas of where to go.
So I thought it might be useful to share some of the places we like or have tried and give our thoughts on here.
Obviously our children are aged 5-7 now so anything I mention will be for that age or below.
I should add like everyone nowadays we’re not made of money and have lots of money to waste so I don’t think we do things too extravagant really. In addition, because lots of things are more costly now we do like to get our money’s worth (well we always have) so if we go somewhere we’re there for the long haul and make the day last!
If you’ve got any requests in particular give me a shout and I’ll try cover it for you.
And I’ll also try share some tips along the way where I can (and if I can remember some of them from the earlier days with ours!)
So drop me a comment and let me know…
