Kids will love visiting Dubai’s most exciting family friendly attractions. If you are planning on a family holiday or stopover in Dubai, make sure you include these fun activities in Dubai for kids. One of the things that I didn’t expect about Dubai was just what a great family friendly destination it is. It’s clean, very safe and super easy…

The first thing that strikes you as you fly into Dubai is the sand. Sand as far as the eye can see. The desert that surrounds this shiny city is vast, beautiful and persistently encroaching into the city with every opportunity it gets. One gets the feeling that given the chance, mother nature could reclaim Dubai on a whim if…

I’m not an early riser, in fact, before my trip to Dubai I could count the sunrises I’d seen on one hand. It takes something really special to get me out of bed at 4am, and on this particular day a hot air balloon ride over the Arabian Desert certainly qualified. I imagine that a hot air balloon flight is…

‘Wow’ is the only word that can describe the whirlwind of sensory overload that was our first day in Dubai. After a long 15 hour flight I was grateful to check into the Shangri-La Hotel in Dubai and sneak in a tiny nap before the group set off on our big adventure in Old Dubai. Our first stop was lunch…

It’s less than a week before I head off to Dubai. I really can’t believe how quickly it’s sneaked up on me. I’ve been working very hard behind the scenes creating plenty of crafty Christmas content to schedule whilst I’m away so you don’t miss out on your weekly craft fix, and getting all my ducks in a row before…

I’m always looking for fun and healthy snacks that Emma will enjoy. Lately as the weather warms up she has been asking for ice-creams and frozen treats incessantly, so rather than being a ‘mean mummy’ and saying “No” all the time, we’ve made a tasty and healthy alternative that we both like. These delicious and healthy Fruit and Yoghurt Popsicles…

With Halloween coming up I thought it would be fun to play dress ups with Emma and see how many kids costume ideas we could put together with just the items we had at home and already in her wardrobe. Dressing up is a fun way for kids to explore different parts of their personality and interests, challenge gender roles…
