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!

Freeing up space in your Bedroom | AD

*This is a collaborative guest post

Our bedroom’s aren’t always as big as we would like them to be, so it’s important that we make the most of the space that we have. There are a few different tips and tricks you can put in place to truly get the most out of your bedroom, so in today’s blog, I’m going to make it easy for you and give you those tips.

Storage Beds are your new best friend

Using storage boxes is convenient, but they don’t look good. Everyone wants their house to look good, and storage boxes are not aesthetically pleasing. So why not try a storage bed from Bed Guru? They are ultra-convenient, and they take up the same amount of space as a normal bed.

The great thing with storage beds, particularly ones with a Divan frame, they simply lift up from the base. As you can see in the image below, you can keep all your things nicely stored away, whilst not taking up too much room. The bonus is, they look great too! They don’t compromise any of your space, particularly if you keep them up against the wall.

Are double beds necessary?

Everyone wants extra space when they sleep to roll around in, but the question is, is it really all that necessary? They take up a lot of room, particularly in smaller bedrooms, and can create blockages in doors and other areas.

You may want to try and think realistically, if there’s just you staying in the bed, do you really need a double? If you regularly have guests over, one solution would be to get a guest bed, which stands as a single and has an extra bed underneath. Alternatively, there are wide single beds available and small doubles that don’t compromise as much space. There are different styles to suit every need, whether you’re looking for modern chic, or for a more traditional wooden framed look.

Don’t forget your mates

As I mentioned before, it is highly likely you will have guests staying over and if you have a specific guest’s room, then they are often the smallest in the house.

As you can see from the image below, there are options available such as sliding single beds, which holds another single underneath it. You may also want to consider a double bed, although it will take up a lot of space, your guest is only likely to be staying for a short amount of time, so they won’t be overly bothered by a slightly cramped fit.

Ensure the bed is pressed right up against the back wall, with enough space for your guests to move around at the sides of the bed.

So, these are just some of the tips and tricks you can put in place to make your bedroom a more spacious room. Hopefully you can flourish in your new space, add a touch of class and your bedroom will be your new favourite area in your home.
