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.

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!

Decorating Windows with Chalkola | AD

*This is a paid post

It’s no secret that LP and Little Man are really creative and they love nothing more than getting the pens or paints out and letting their imaginations run wild. Over recent weeks they’ve enjoyed using watercolour brush pens and painting rocks but this week we had something new to try – window markers from Chalkola!

Chalkola Window Markers come in such bright colours – and there’s even metallic chalk markers too! They work like standard liquid chalk markers where you give them a shake and then press the nib up and down until the fluid runs through. You can then start creating!

When I told the children they could draw on the windows I have never seen them so excited. They had to check I was sure and they asked if the markers would be permanent – no, the markers wash off easily so we can decorate the windows over and over again!

The children took a window each and started designing. The washable window markers are so easy to use and give fantastic results. The children used the markers on the inside of the window and you can see the drawing lines and marks on their pictures – but outside the pictures are solid colour and look amazing!

Liquid chalk window markers are a fantastic investment and give amazing results. Plus, they can be used on so many things – not just windows. On non-porous materials like glazed mugs, mirrors or the windows they work like dry erase markers, you draw and then wipe off. It couldn’t be easier.

On porous surfaces like wood, bricks or rocks the liquid chalk pens are permanent, sinking into the material to give a long lasting finish to update any home or garden. Rainbow chalk markers are a great investment for any child and something that they can use for so many different activities.

The children absolutely loved painting on the windows with the chalk marker pens. The results were bright, bold, colourful and a great addition to the glass windows of our bifold doors! They’ve asked to do the front windows in the house next – and I think it’s only time before they start asking about the car windows too!

Unlike permanent glass pens, the washable markers can be wiped off and used again and again. Plus, if you make a mistake you can just wipe it off and start again. They’re completely child safe and non toxic.

Decorating Windows with Chalkola

Once dry, the window paint pens give a really durable finish and the kids’ creations could stay on the windows indefinitely – until we get the soap and water out and rub them away!

Decorating Windows with Chalkola

The Chalkola Window Markers are a great investment for any family home and I know even adults would love a go – I’ve used them and they’re great fun!
