Trips & Holidays
Need a break? It might be more affordable than you think. As a single parent, we can all feel a great deal of pressure to make our children’s holidays perfect, especially as we have sole responsibility for the children’s enjoyment, at a time when we need a break ourselves too.

Making the most of the quality time you have with your children can be easy if you know how and where to look. The internet is a fantastic place to find cheap deals on travel, so it’s not surprising to hear that 1 in 5 holidays is booked online now. Planning trips with children is always more involved and the cost s soon adds up!

I’ve put together lists of the best sites I’ve found with the largest discounts. Go on, start building precious memories today. Hopefully wherever you go will be wonderful but even if it is the holiday from hell, why not write a short review on the Holiday Watchdog site and let the rest of us know!
Family Resorts
Keeping the children occupied is quite a feat isn’t it! Plan a holiday where there will be plenty of activities or organised clubs, so you don’t have to entertain your children on your own all day. Don’t be a martyr though, choose somewhere that you will enjoy too and can make time for yourself. I’ve got some great suggestions.
