If you’ve just got a Cricut and you’re wondering what cardstock to use, you are absolutely not alone. What is the best cardstock to use?

Share We have been cruising with our kids, who are now adults, since they were toddlers, so we have made all the mistakes and picked up a lot of tips along the way.

Today, we are going to look at some of the churches to visit in Mykonos. Mykonos is a Greek island in the Aegean Sea, about 150 kilometres (93 miles) southeast of Athens. It is one of Greece's most popular tourist destinations, known for its whitewashed houses, blue-domed churches, and lively nightlife. I do love visiting a church when we travel as it gives you a realy feel for the heart of a region.

Cruising the Greek Isles from Rome is one of the most magical ways to explore the Mediterranean. And a route we have sailed a few times. But have also planned again for this year on Royal Caribbean's Odyssey of the Seas. It brings together Italy's timeless history, Greece's postcard-perfect islands and Turkey's ancient wonders in one unforgettable cruise. Whilst it is called a Greek Isles Cruise, this sailing also stops in Turkey and Italy, making it a wonderful itinerary to explore some real Mediterranean treasures.

Here is a number that stopped me mid-scroll: the average UK child aged five to sixteen spends around 4.45 hours a day looking at screens, according to Ofcom's 2024 Children and Parents: Media Use and Attitudes report. On a six-hour drive to Cornwall, that figure can spike even higher. The tablet comes out before you have left the motorway services, and by Exeter, the battery is dying, and the mood is crumbling. We have all been there.

Last night, I took my seat at Manchester's Opera House for The Choir of Man, a show I had been genuinely looking forward to returning to. From the moment the doors opened, there was a real buzz in the theatre, the kind that tells you you're about to experience something a little different. Even knowing what was coming, it still felt fresh, energetic, and completely uplifting.

There are some musicals you enjoy, some you admire, and then there are the rare productions that quietly take up permanent residence in your heart. Waitress is firmly in that final category for me.

Travelling with children on a long-haul flight can be challenging. Limited movement, unfamiliar surroundings, and changes to their usual routine can quickly lead to boredom or frustration.

If you are looking for a fantastic pre-cruise hotel near Rome City Centre, then keep reading, as this is a real gem. We have recently returned from a fabulous pre-cruise stay at the Social Hub in Rome, and this hotel has so much going for it. This was an accidental find! I discovered the Social Hub when I was searching for a pre-cruise hotel for a short stay before our Royal Caribbean Greek Isles cruise on Odyssey of the Seas.
