By Laura Casewell According to the experts, this week the UK will be basking in temperatures set to hit the mid thirties which means one thing: summer is finally here. Whether you're jetting off on holiday or planning on basking in the rays found in your back garden, you may well be showing some skin over the next week or so, which means it's time to tackle unwanted hair. From at-home waxing to permanent solutions like electrolysis, there is a...

By Jasmine Stephens, family editor We've all been there; your baby is 12 months old, you made carefully considered decisions about baby-led weaning versus purées versus 'a bit of both and let's see how we go'.

It's a day for my children to tell their dad how much they love and appreciate him, to give him homemade cards with a wobbly attempt at signing their own name and - if he's lucky - he might even get a lie-in until 8am followed by breakfast in bed. With a jolt I realise that I've forgotten about my...

Between checking everybody’s passport is in date, stocking up on suncream, arranging airport transfers and washing and ironing countless pairs of shorts and t-shirts, there is little time when planning a family holiday to consider what may happen should something go wrong, either before the trip or during.
