But as soon as we went on our first foreign holiday – to Madeira – my lifelong affair with worldwide travel began. And when you become a mum, experiencing different cultures and places through a child’s eyes makes holidays even more special, I think – you just want them to see as much as possible.\r\n\r\n\"San\r\n\r\nLast year we went to Chicago\u00a0and Switzerland<\/a> … but I’m really not sure where to go this year. If like me you’re having trouble deciding, I asked some of Britain’s best mum bloggers for their favourite holiday memories and tips to help you:\r\n\r\nSandy from Baby Baby<\/a>\u00a0tells us about her childhood holiday in er… Luton and why she’s determined to take her kids somewhere slightly more exotic<\/a>. Like me, Victoria from It’s a small world after all<\/a>\u00a0is a big fan of Switzerland<\/a> for kids. Mummy Zen<\/a>\u00a0recalls holidaying in Italy as a child (I can’t recommend Italy highly enough for kids) and talks about her upcoming skiing holiday to Colorado<\/a>. Susanna\u00a0aka amodernmother<\/a> relates\u00a0what happened on a\u00a0 canoe trip in California<\/a>\u00a0with her family. Nearly everyone I know seems to go to France every holiday – Missy Martin<\/a>\u00a0talks about a childhood holiday there here<\/a>.\r\n\r\nAnd if you really want to push the boat out (!), Linda from Have a Lovely Time reveals why the Disney cruise is the holiday of a lifetime.\r\n\r\nFor some more tips on great places to go abroad and in the UK, click here<\/a>.\u00a0Let me know where you decide to go – and meanwhile, have a great weekend!\r\n\r\nwritten by Liz Jarvis","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Having trouble deciding where to go on holiday?
