Not to my knowledge but I’m sure it’ll contain her most favourite photo ever ever ever and some cheesy smug quote about being so grateful and luckyHas Katie mentioned a summer holiday this year? I can't recall if she has or hasn't. But no doubt they'll just pop up somewhere exotic over the coming weeks
She never lets on about holiday plans until the smug ‘look where we’ve just arrived’ picture. Can’t waitHas Katie mentioned a summer holiday this year? I can't recall if she has or hasn't. But no doubt they'll just pop up somewhere exotic over the coming weeks
A week in Benidorm just won’t cut it for the EllisonsThere will 100% be one of those ‘jump and land in a different country’ stories! Somewhere like Japan! X
This! It's fine to be minted and have a charmed life. Just be grateful and help others. Don't be like "we decided to cut back a few months ago on takeaways which is why we have managed to scramble together enough money to spend 3 weeks doing a tour of Cambodia"And wherever she ends up, there will be a big story justifying their extravagance, saying they got a good deal, free air miles, saved for ages, etc. blah blah blah. Just say you're loaded and think you're better than an all exclusive to Tenerife and be done with it
Wow times must be hard, no transatlantic adventure this summerI knew they would have tickets to the women’s final, so predictable
Saw her reply to a comment on today’s post that they’re going to Portugal in August
Didn’t they already go to Dubai this year?Wow times must be hard, no transatlantic adventure this summer
Of course they do - so attainable and relatable for families during this cost of living crisis.Football Escapes, the place they were gifted in half term have a camp in Portugal.
@Unicorn_Poop This is why I think family vloggers/Instagramers are so damaging. Thank goodness for Tattle for reminding me these are not everyday, normal families. I'm not envious of their homes, clothes, beauty pie make up or Hello Fresh subscription boxes but when you see the children of these influencers being given opportunities of a lifetime several times a year it started to make me find inadequate as a parent. As if I am somehow letting down my child by not taking them to Disney every summer. That's how marketing works. Makes you feel you need this brand etc. No issue when it is aimed at adults but the likes of Disney /Football Escapes when these influencers will be posting about how they have created memories for their kids or how their children told them it had been the best time ever (Maddie cried when we told her where we were going) is emotional blackmail for parents.
I try and remember that when I am on holiday my phone will be staying locked in the safe. I will be present and involved in our holiday not worrying about creating the prefect shot of family life or writing up a caption to sell a brand or answering DMs from strangers.
Also be reasured that as our children get to Maddie's age and assume is allowed some independence by walking or getting the bus to school there aren't 80k strangers who know their names, birthday, dogs name, hobbies, what their bedrooms look like. I will take that over a gifted holiday any day of the week.
