Win a Copy of Jumanji on DVD
Husband and I are huge fans of the original version of Jumanji, so we have to admit to having been sceptical when the remake was announced. However, once we saw it (and also realised that it had The Rock in it, who be both kinda love…) we realised that it was actually an excellent film and was a really well-made update to a classic. We both love Robin Williams and are probably a bit over-protective …

Greece – The Ideal Destination for Families and Couples
Before Husband and I met and had a family, we both did a little bit of travelling, mine more Europe focused, his in both Europe at the US, but we always wanted to travel farther and wider as a couple and later as a family.

Obviously my Mum found out and slapped me all the way the the stairs to my room, but ultimately it didn’t stop me and I smoked all the way through my teen years, into my early twenties.
