Summer Travels with Snapfish

2nd August 2018

If you follow me on Instagram, you will have seen that we spent the last week basking in the sun in Portugal on our summer holiday. If there’s one thing I remember about my childhood it would be our annual summer holiday. My Dad worked away a lot when we were small, so our summer holiday was the time where it was just the four of us together. I absolutely live for holidays, whether it be home or away I just love being away and I know how lucky my kids are to have visited so many amazing places such as Anglesey in Wales and Disneyland Paris. This year we will be adding America to our list and are FAR too excited about it – even though they still have no idea we are going.

Holidays without a doubt are absolute memory makers and I always find myself scrolling back through the hundreds and hundreds of photos I rack up when we are away. Thanks to Snapfish online photo printing I am now able to have them for day to day usage as they offer so many services which enable you to not only print your images, but personalise them onto super cool products.

I decided to personalise a large beach towel with a photo of our birthday adventures at Alton Towers waterpark. I absolutely love the photo of all three as not only do they look incredibly happy but they’re all looking at the camera. It was such a brilliant weekend filled with amazing memories, that I love the fact that every time we use the towel it’ll transport me back to that weekend of fun.


As you can see it was the perfect size for my two to get dry after paddling in the gorgeous Portuguese waters. It is also super soft and dries really quickly. There are so many designs to choose from but with a little help from two pineapple obsessed girls, we opted for the funky “Eat Beach Sleep Repeat” pineapple theme with our own image in the centre. It definitely is a mantra for the summer in the sun!

When heading to the beach the essentials are without a doubt sun cream, a towel, your swimming costume, a good book and for me no matter what the weather a good cup of tea. I took along my Snapfish travel mug, which I personalised with some of my favourite beach shots from our holiday last summer to Anglesey, where the sky was as blue as blue can be and macthed the Portuguese skyline perfectly.

We set up camp on the sun loungers and the kids busied themselves playing and building sandcastles, so I put my feet up with my book (Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine – highly recommended by the way) and sipped on my cuppa and you know what? It was pure bliss and my drink stayed sand free thanks to the spill-proof, screw-on cap which you can open to sip your drink.


I have a feeling that this will be making numerous appearances on the school runs in the next few months; it will also help cheer me up when the sun finally disappears after our glorious weather and is replaced by grey dull skies we will be faced with at 8am every morning. It is such a great way to utilise the thousands of photos we snap away on our phones and never see the light of day once they’ve been saved on a phone camera roll.

As the calendar ticks over to August, I am trying to push the thought of back to school to the back of my mind as with it spells the end of the gorgeous summer evenings spent playing outside til gone 9pm. For now, I am going to savour every day  and when the grey skies creep in, at least I will have the summer sunny memories to see me through until Christmas!
