First and foremost, I would just like to say a huge Thank You to Days Out Now for nominating me for the Liebster Award. I am one month into blogging and I never dreamed I would be nominated for an award let alone be recognised as a new blogger and for my hard work – that means so much so THANK YOU!
Here are the rules for accepting the Liebster Award:
1. Acknowledge the blog that gave it to you and display the award
2. Answer 11 questions that the blogger gives you
3. Give 11 random facts about yourself
4. Nominate 11 blogs and notify them of their nominations

My 11 questions I was asked by Days Out Now
1. What’s your favourite song at the moment?
So this is easy – I am in love with my Alexa at the moment and keep listening to songs from my childhood. At the moment its Seal – Kiss from a rose.
2. List your top three family days out.
We love theme parks as a family so my top one is Alton Towers. We also love the West Midlands Safari Park. Finally, a lovely walk and a trip to the park with a picnic is lovely.
3. Best film?
I am cheating on this one and saying the Harry Potter films – what can you not like?!
4.Favourite holiday destination?
Disney Land Paris. This place is truly magical and close enough to the UK for us to travel with three small kids. Being there is like forgetting about everything else and losing yourself in a place of pure happiness.

No – I am currently on Maternity Leave with my youngest son who is nearly 1. I work part time as a supervising social worker for an independent Fostering Agency.
6. What football team do you support?
Well, I don’t really follow football but my Dad supports Birmingham City, so growing up, I did too, shirt and all!
7. Best memory from your childhood.
Its mostly likely visiting our caravan in Beer, Devon. We had such amazing times visiting the seaside, the Donkey Sanctuary and being squished in a caravan but that was the best part bout it! Oh and eating scones. I hold a lot of memories there.
8. What is your favourite meal?
I am a definite foodie and love trying new foods and experimenting with recipes at home. I love Thai food and cook a lot of asian inspired meals at home such as Katsu Curry, Thai curries and cook with a lot of prawns and fish.
9. What was your first computer / console?
NES – I was a proper Gamer when I was younger and loved playing Super Mario, Lemmings, Zelda, Crash Bandicoot.
10. Your favourite TV series is?
At the moment its Friends – I am catching up!

My questions to answer
Thanks for reading!
Hi and welcome to The Willow Tree. I’m Michelle, also known as Shel and I am a mama to three beautiful crazy kids – I have two handsome boys and a wild and wonderful girl.
I really wanted a concrete place to share my love for travel, in particular Disney and offer my readers a chance to gain some knowledge around what we love to do as a family of 5.
I share our family adventures which include days out, travel advice and tips, holiday reviews, restaurant visits and of course, our love for Disney, including Disneyland Paris and Walt Disney World.
Life is about creating memories, and here we are sharing them with you
xoxo
