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.

Now, let’s go and enjoy the next six weeks before school starts all over again!

A Family Favourite Chicken Pasta Recipe | AD

*This is a paid post

As a busy family we love finding easy family meal options that are quick to prepare, nutritious and full of flavour that we can all enjoy in the evening without having to always resort to our slow cooker or Instant Pot. In the past we’ve used HelloFresh, delivering us all we need to cook family meals in one handy box each week. One of the things that I’ve always appreciated with HelloFresh is the ability to keep the family dinner recipes after we’d made them from the box, creating them again at a later date. HelloFresh also have a bank of healthy dinner recipes on their website and we’ve created a favourite chicken pasta recipe based on the HelloFresh Venetian Pasta recipe from their website.

A Family Favourite Chicken Pasta Recipe

As a family we love pasta and eat it every week without fail. It’s so quick and easy to cook and as the children love pasta it means that dinner times can be stress free and enjoyable. Plus, when you find a meal that everyone loves you know you can eat it regularly and still always enjoy it as much as the very first time. But often we find ourselves stuck in a pasta rut – having it with a simple sauce or turned into a pasta bake. Other times we fall back to old favourites like spaghetti bolognese or tagliatelle and meatballs so it’s lovely to have other pasta recipes that you know the whole family will enjoy.

Here’s our easy chicken pasta recipe.

Chicken Pasta Recipe

Prep time: 5 minutes Cooking time: 20 minutes Serves: 4

Ingredients:

  • oil
  • 400g chicken, diced
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 400g dried pasta
  • 250g broccoli
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • a knob of butter
  • a chicken stock cube
  • 1 clove of garlic, crushed
  • 300ml creme fraiche

Recipe:

  • Put the pasta on to cook as per the packet instructions. 5 minutes before the end of cooking time add the broccoli to the pan.
  • When the pasta is cooked, drain – retaining 400ml of liquid.
  • Whilst the pasta is cooking, add oil to a hot pan and cook the chicken for a few minutes until nicely browned.
  • Add the honey to the pan and cook until it’s starts to caramelise over the chicken. Remove the chicken from the pan.
  • Add the butter to the pan and when melted add the onion and cook for two minutes until softened.
  • Sprinkle over the stock cube and add the cooking liquid from earlier. Stir until the stock cube has dissolved.
  • Add the chicken and continue to cook until the chicken is piping hot and then stir in the creme fraiche.
  • When the sauce starts to boil, mix in the pasta and broccoli and serve immediately.

We also like to serve this al forno. I simply put the finished dish in an oven dish, sprinkle with cheese and bake until nicely browned and bubbling on top.
