Discover child-friendly Holland and Belgium with Little Clogs Holidays

Little Clogs Holidays is a specialist provider of child friendly holidays to Holland and Belgium. These are some of the most diverse and child-friendly countries in Europe and easily accessible from the UK, with many places within a few hours’ drive of Calais.

You will find beautiful beaches, islands, dunes and woodlands, pretty towns and villages, as well as many family attractions including the magical Efteling fairytale theme park.

Little Clogs features holiday parks with pools, play areas, children’s activities and private, spacious accommodation. They offer something a bit different where families can stay in sustainable houses on the water, thatched farmhouses, beach villas or even safari lodges with views of giraffes and other safari animals! Or in children’s themed houses with toys, games and child-sized furniture.

Little Clogs may focus on places that are suitable for toddlers and babies but teens have not been forgotten and there’s plenty for them too. Several of the holiday parks feature subtropical swimming pools, waterslides and many sports activities.  With endless cycle routes you can take the whole family for rides along the coast, into sheltered woodland, through national parks and to picturesque villages.

Little Clogs also offer group accommodation, and they have a small selection of farm holidays, apartments and child friendly hotels so can cater for all tastes and budgets!

7 nights arriving on 23/08/24 starts at €597 for a family of 4 (price correct at the time of publishing)

Tips and tricks to help mums de-stress

Tips and tricks to help mums de-stress

Being a parent is often cited as one of the most exhausting and busy things you can do, as you have to keep a million things in mind at any one time, so how can you actually switch off and relax when you get the chance? Here are some tips and tricks:

  • Make time for yourself. Now some people might ask ‘HOW?’ but it’s not the length of time that matter, it’s the quality. Use the help of a partner, family or friends to make sure you get even 20 minutes to enjoy a leisurely shower and pamper yourself or a much needed nap!
  • Try meditation. One of the most popular calming technique are the arts of meditation and deep breathing. Download some relaxing spa music or a guided meditation podcast to listen to early in the morning or just before bed to help melt the stress away.
  • Establish a support network. Everyone needs someone to offload their stress to or discuss similar issues, and being a mum is no exception. See if there are any mother-baby play groups in your area and tag along, having a group of people who are all going through the same as you can make you feel less stressed and help you to build new friendships.

#WIN Baavet set of duvet, 2 pillows and a mattress protector worth up to £490

#WIN Baavet set of duvet, 2 pillows and a mattress protector worth up to £490

A Baavet is a World class British product that can help to give you a good night’s sleep through the amazing qualities of pure wool.
Wool is far superior to polyester, silk, feather, or the most expensive duck down. And that’s because they are all insulators and they make you too hot in bed.
Whereas wool is a regulator of temperature and it wicks away moisture. This is how a sheep controls its temperature and sweats through its wool fibres. It is also antibacterial and dust mites hate it, making wool the cleanest and most perfect fibre for bedding.
Here at Baavet, we buy British wool directly from farmers, paying them a fair price for their wool. We don’t use any nasty chemicals, we only gently clean the wool then card it ( comb it) back into the same state as it is on the sheep before encasing it in a high quality pure cotton outer, making a world class duvet. You can buy cheaper but you can’t buy better than a Baavet. www.baavet.co.uk social media hashtag baavet Here is the chance to win a Baavet set of duvet, 2 pillows and a mattress protector worth up to £490

WIN! 2 Hand-Made Inhaler Cases – As Seen on Dragons’ Den

Are you one of the 10 million people in the UK that need to carry a medical inhaler?  No more feeling self conscious, no more ugly blue or brown plastic! Our cases make inhalers look beautiful and make people feel amazing every time they need to use one.

The cases are handmade in York, England, using an environmentally friendly vegan leather from Venice, Italy.  As well as the aesthetic improvements the cases add an eyelet, enabling the inhaler to be attached to bags and lanyards for quicker access, and a patented mouthpiece holder that prevents dust getting into the inhaler.

Seen on Dragons’ Den in February these cases are taking the asthma community by storm.

WAYS TO BOOST YOUR MOOD

According to the mental health charity Mind, every single week in the UK 6 in 100 people will be diagnosed with some form of anxiety disorder, with under 50% ever accessing treatment to help improve their mental well-being.

With this in mind, the Balance team has put together some of our favourite tips for boosting your mood this month, from kick-starting those all-important endorphins through exercise to enjoying the Vitamin D from the upcoming heatwave – these are simple to implement and can really make a difference to how you feel.

Eat the rainbow

We all know that a balanced diet full of fruits and vegetables is the key to a healthy body and mind, but did you know they all have different benefits – many of which are based on their colour? Studies have shown ‘eating a rainbow’ has a direct effect on your mood, thanks to the combination of antioxidants, minerals and vitamins. In particular, more purple additions to your diet can improve brain function and going green can lower your blood pressure. So there you have it – eating a colourful mix of fruit and veg can not only help your body thrive but also give your brain a boost.

Work up a sweat

The simplest way to up your endorphins is to get moving. Regular exercise has a profoundly positive effect on mental health, being particularly helpful for those with depression, anxiety and stress, but did you know it also helps regulate your sleep and boost your overall mood? Pick an activity that makes you feel good, pop on some music that gets your serotonin popping and say bye-bye to the blues.

Chase the Vitamin D

Getting out and absorbing some of that all-important vitamin D matters more than ever. Scientists say the morning is the best time to get outside and soak up some of that mood-boosting magic. On top of that, filling your lungs with fresh air is equally good for brain function. Finding it hard to find the time to embrace the great outdoors? It’s easy to get an additional vitamin D top-up with supplements.

Take a tech break 

Having a strategic break from technology can have a profound impact on your mental well-being. We all love our mobile phones and streaming the latest box set on Netflix but it’s not always to the benefit of our brains. Experts say planning regular digital detoxes can not only ease general anxiety but also increase overall happiness. Try spending an hour reading, journaling or talking with a friend instead of scrolling and see if the fog lifts.

Be kind to yourself 

It’s important to practice being kind to yourself. Set yourself achievable goals and remember to celebrate the small wins this month. Set time aside for yourself and do more of what makes you feel good. That might be going for a walk, meditating, manifesting or simply taking the time to rest, guilt-free. Whatever you do: do it for you.
