Florence with Kids: Our Favourite Tuscany Base for the Perfect Family Holiday
"Can we have another gelato?" That was probably the question we heard most during our time in Florence. And honestly? We couldn't blame the girls. Between wandering through centuries-old streets, crossing the famous Ponte Vecchio and discovering yet another incredible ice cream shop, Florence has a way of making every day feel like a little adventure. If you're dreaming of Italy, chances are Rome, Venice or Lake Garda are already on your list. But let us tell you a little secret: Florence completely stole our hearts. Not only is it one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, it's also the perfect base for exploring Tuscany. Think rolling vineyards, medieval villages, endless sunflower fields, delicious food and those postcard-worthy roads that make you want to pull over every five minutes just to admire the view. This is exactly how we spent our family holiday—and we'd do it again in a heartbeat.

The Compression Packing Cubes We Never Travel Without (and Why You Shouldn't Either)
The Compression Packing Cubes We Never Travel Without (and Why You Shouldn't Either) If there's one travel item we recommend to literally every family we know, it's this: Compression packing cubes. Honestly, we don't leave home without them anymore. Whether we're heading to Disney, island hopping in Greece, road-tripping through the USA or flying halfway across the world, these little cubes have completely changed the way we pack. And yes... they really do save your sanity. Every Family Member Gets Their Own Colour With four people travelling together, suitcases can become complete chaos. Not anymore. Everyone in our family has their own colour packing cubes. 💙 Dad 💗 Mum 💜 Daughter #1 💚 Daughter #2 No more digging through suitcases trying to find that one pair of shorts or a missing swimsuit. Everyone knows exactly which cubes belong to them, making unpacking (and repacking!) incredibly easy. Even the kids can find their own clothes without asking us every five minutes. They Save So Much Space The best part? Compression packing cubes don't just organise your clothes—they actually compress them. After filling the cube, you simply zip the second zipper, squeezing out extra air and reducing the volume. The result? More space in your suitcase. A lot more. Instead of travelling with four suitcases, we can often fit everything into just two large suitcases. That means: Lower baggage costs Less luggage to drag through airports Easier transfers More room for souvenirs on the way home Win. Win. Win.
