The BritMums Blog

Disneyland Paris celebrates its 20th anniversary this year and on 31 March BritMums got a first-hand look at some of the special events it has planned. Look for our post about the celebrations soon. Until then, you can get an exclusive look at the new Disney Magic on Parade with our video. Visitors can view [...]

In little more than three weeks’ time, the BiBs received more than 12,000 nominations. Now we’re delighted to announce the shortlist. There were so many fantastic nominations, if only we could have included them all. The blogs selected represent a range of approaches, exhibiting different styles, different social media tactics and different voices. You’ll see [...]

I like to think of myself as a travel blogger but I have to face facts that I can’t be on holiday all the time, more’s the pity. My blog may be ‘Mum’s Gone To …’ but as we didn’t go away for half-term I was seriously considering ‘Mum’s gone to the shops’, ‘Mum’s gone to get [...]

“A good traveller has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving.”  So says Lao Tzu, Father of Taoism.  He obviously didn’t travel with us then. I like to plan things to the nth degree: I need to know exactly where I’m going, where I’m staying and how long it’s going to take me. [...]

Caravanning is becoming an increasingly popular way to holiday with the kids. On our holiday this summer, we combined caravanning with exploring a region of France we had never previously visited.

The space has opened up for a Brit for only the second time, and the new panellist would join an existing team [...]

Yup, it’s that time again. Hot car journeys, long flights and checking in buggies, car seats and all sorts of parenting paraphernalia at busy airports. Ghostwritermummy asked fellow bloggers and readers for great travel tips and the fantastic post that followed is a revelation. A couple of weeks ago, I asked you for your top [...]

  We’ve all tried to motivate recalcitrant children for an outing or even a trip to the corner shop. Just imagine getting them enthusiastic about a trek across five continents. The journalist Rosie Millard, who blogs at Helicoptermum.com, set off with her family to a tour of the French Overseas Departments and Territories (the Dom-Toms) [...]

More excitement in the build-up to CyberMummy which is only eight days away! Today we’re braving the frozen tundra of Russia to share some lovely thoughts from the profound Potty Mummy. She’ll be fresh off the plane from Moscow and assures us that she’ll be sporting a fur-lined bra and sheerling-lined wellies when she touches [...]

If I was any doubt of the growing influence of British mum bloggers (which – let’s face it – I wasn’t) then a recent trip to America left no room for doubt. Along with Lulu of Family Affairs and Other Matters,  Jenography was part of a UK media contingent attending the launch of the Disney [...]
