Hi! My name is Hayley , I’m a freelance writer and blogger.
I have run a successful family lifestyle blog,  Sparkles & Stretchmarks,
for over 12 years now, and have worked with many prestigious brands including Caribe Royale Orlando, Disneyland Paris, Butlins & Virgin Voyages.
I have a keen interest in and love of travelling, and now that I am a Mum to 3 –  I am determined to show my children the adventure and possibilities that await them out there in the world…we are a family of cruise lovers and Disney fans first and foremost, but are keen to try all kinds of travel – we also love to see as much as of the UK as possible and love staycations, whilst also exploring further afield whenever we can!We love to record our adventures together here, sharing our reviews as well as sharing tips on travelling with neurodivergent children, hacks for finding the best affordable deals, travel related product write ups as well as reviews on the best places to eat with children, attractions to visit in our local area (Devon…the UK’s most visited tourist destination) and so on!

I hope you’ll enjoy my blog and coming along on our adventures with us!
