I always have a lot of questions about accommodati I always have a lot of questions about accommodation when we stay anywhere as a family so I thought I’d share this little tour of our room at @windjammerlanding which was a pretty perfect place to stay.

It’s the ‘Ocean View Two Bedroom’ which was like a little house, with an upstairs and downstairs, built into the hillside. Both rooms had outdoor space and their own shower rooms. Such a great option for a family.

And just like that, Athena is 12! What a joy it is And just like that, Athena is 12! What a joy it is watching her grow and what a wonderful young woman she is becoming. We could not be more proud. Love you Pickle, have a great birthday.
We’ve just got back from two glorious weeks in S We’ve just got back from two glorious weeks in St Lucia staying at @windjammerlanding and it was just the holiday we needed. Two weeks of sunshine and relaxation in what must be one of the most beautiful islands in the world. 

We can’t wait to go back again in the future. Here’s just a little snippet of our trip.
AD - Press Tickets | We had such a nice day at @na AD - Press Tickets | We had such a nice day at @national_motor_museum despite the rain! The children loved the Little Beaulieu play area and we loved exploring the National Motor Museum and Top Gear exhibit before having a ride on the monorail! We went on an old open topped bus, explored the Beaulieu Manor House and loved the gardens. 
Beaulieu is always a great day out - whatever the weather. This summer they have a whole ‘Summer of Fun’ planned, with activities most days - parades, bird shows and hundreds of sculptures within the grounds too. If you’re looking for a day out this summer definitely think about heading to Beaulieu.
AD - Press Tickets | Tonight we took the kids to t AD - Press Tickets | Tonight we took the kids to their first concert - but it was so much more than just a concert! @abbavoyage is incredible. With CGI ABBA and a live band, it’s like being at an ABBA concert 40 years ago but with modern lighting, effects and sound. ABBA look and sound real, it’s a mind blowing experience.
The set includes all the songs you know and love as well as a few less familiar ones.
You can’t take photos during the show which actually made a refreshing change. A whole arena focused purely on the show and soaking up the moment. It’s definitely something the four of us will always remember.
Now, I’m off to sing Dancing Queen all the way home.
AD - Press Trip | We had such a great day at @phdo AD - Press Trip | We had such a great day at @phdockyard today. They have a fantastic Ultimate Explorer ticket that lets you visit all the attractions as many times as you like for 12 months - and after a day at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard we can see that you need more than one day to really do everything!

We explored HMS Warrior, HMS Victory and the Mary Rose Exhibition - which is incredible! We also saw where ships are built and restored and spent time in Action Stations where the kids climbed and did an assault course.

Portsmouth Historic Dockyard is such a fun, educational day out with something for all ages - we can’t wait to go on their harbour tours next time we visit!

They’ve both had a great year at school this year. Troy’s first without his sister by his side and Athena’s first at secondary school. 

They both had great reports, always did their best and have made some really lovely new friends this year. I could not be more proud of them.

10 Tips for a Healthy Pregnancy | AD

*This is a paid post

Pregnancy is an amazing time. You’re growing a tiny human, your body is going through so many changes and your whole life is about to be turned upside down. One thing you’re sure to care about is how to have a healthy pregnancy and do the best for yourself and your baby during this time.

So, here are 10 Tips for a Healthy Pregnancy:

Educate yourself

The most important thing in pregnancy is to educate yourself. Make sure you know what to expect, what is normal and what should be checked out by a healthcare professional. Go to childbirth classes or join NCT sessions and meet other expectant parents too. It always helps knowing other people in the same situation as you.

Exercise regularly

Exercise is great during pregnancy. It can improve your mood, boost circulation, relieve stress and help you sleep better too. Carrying on with your usual level of fitness is often fine during pregnancy. If you walk, jog or swim then continue to do so in pregnancy or, if you don’t usually exercise then it’s a great time to start some gentle exercise/

You could get out of the house more for a nice walk or go swimming a couple of times a week. You could even look at using the car less and doing short journeys on foot if you can.

Eat a healthy, balanced diet

You can definitely eat a little more in pregnancy but, there’s no need to do what I did and actually eat for two. Instead, it’s best to focus on making healthier food choices, stocking up on fruit and vegetables and eating folate-rich and calcium rich foods whilst avoiding the few foods you shouldn’t eat in pregnancy.

Things like unpasteurized milk or cheeses, blue cheese, raw eggs, undercooked or raw meat and raw shellfish should be avoided in pregnancy.

It’s also hard to eat big meals in pregnancy so instead, eat what you can manage. This may mean that you eat five or six small, manageable meals each day, giving you a constant stream of sustenance.

Eliminate toxins

Things like alcohol, nicotine and illicit drugs are linked to birth defects, miscarriage, and other health problems so they should be removed from your lifestyle whilst pregnant. It’s also best to reduce your caffeine intake and limit the amount of tea and coffee you have – or opt for decaffeinated varieties.

Drink more water

Drinking more water is a general rule for life but it is really important in pregnancy too. You need to stay hydrated and, in pregnancy, you need to drink more water than you normally would. This is important to help form amniotic fluid and produce extra blood, build new tissue, carry nutrients and aid digestion and flush out any wastes and toxins.

Use supplements

As well as a healthy diet and drinking enough water, it’s important that your body gets all the nutrients and vitamins it needs during pregnancy. Supplements can really help with this.

Feel Pregnancy has been created to aid with conception and beyond. It’s been built to assist fertility and foetal development, help to reduce nausea and contribute to your overall health and energy levels in pregnancy. Plus, they’re currently offering 20% off your first month with code PARTNER20.

After you’ve had your baby, Feel Pregnancy helps support breast milk quality and production and balances your nutritional levels. It’s a 100% clean formula that contains all the supportive vitamins and minerals that you and your baby need.

Check your medication

If you’re on any medication or even just take painkillers every so often, check that the medicines you take are suitable for pregnancy. Anti Inflammatories like ibuprofen should be avoided as studies suggest they increase the risk of miscarriage and damage to fetal blood vessels.

Get enough sleep

It’s really important to try and sleep as well as you can in pregnancy. You will often feel exhausted so listen to your body. If you’re tired, sleep. Go to bed earlier and if you need a nap in the afternoon have a little snooze if you can too. Also, invest in sleep aids for better quality sleep like a decent pregnancy pillow.

Switch up the jobs you do

During pregnancy it’s best to not carry heavy things, not do anything too strenuous and really just to look after yourself as best you can. This may mean that, both at work and at home, you need to change the tasks that you complete.

Ask someone else to do any heavy lifting or climbing ladders and make sure you don’t change cat litter either – this can give toxoplasmosis, a disease caused by a parasite which cats can carry.

Write a birth plan

You may not think that a birth plan has much to do with your overall health but writing down your wishes and thinking about what you’d like your birth experience to be like can be great for your mental health. Having even a loose plan can help relieve stress and help you to relax about the upcoming birth of your new baby.

Most importantly, enjoy this time. Pregnancy is amazing and it goes by so far – despite it feeling like an incredibly long process at times Before you know it you’ll have your baby in your arms.

Have a Healthy Pregnancy with Sea-Band - and Win!
