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!

Getting into the Festive Spirit with Opposuits | AD

*This is a paid post

We absolutely love Christmas in our house and, as you can imagine, the preparations are in full swing. The Christmas day arrangements have been made, the dinner has been ordered, gifts have been bought and the wrapping will soon commence. So we can turn our thoughts to other parts of Christmas – the parties, the gatherings and the Santa visits. The bits that the whole family really love and that help us to get into the festive spirit. And this year Opposuits sent Little Man a gift that really has made him feel like Christmas has come early.

Opposuits have a range of fun and funky suits for any occasion – and their Christmas suits are pretty awesome. With options for men, women or children they are pretty much the statement outfit for any occasion in the run up to Christmas. When Little Man first opened his Santaboss suit he was lost for words – he had never seen or even imagined anything quite like it before and couldn’t wait to put it on.

The Santaboss suit comes in a beautiful gift box and, like most Opposuits suits, it’s a three piece suit of trousers, jacket and tie. I was immediately impressed with the quality – with the jacket being fully lined, buttons on the jacket cuffs and size adjusters on the waist of the trousers. It’s a suit that is made to last and made to really be worn and appreciated – not just a novelty that will be worn once and forgotten about.

Little Man’s suit is age 4 as I thought age 6 would be too big and, at 5 and a half, the age 4 suit fits him perfectly with the waist adjusted slightly. The jacket does up, the sleeves and trousers legs are the right length and he’s really comfortable wearing the suit – and proud too. He thinks he looks the bee’s knees, and I have to agree. The tie is a clip on one which looks fantastic but is so much easier for Little Man to put on and take off – and will always look pristine too.

In the run up to Christmas the children have so many different occasions and things on the calendar. There’s the school Christmas fair, Christmas discos, a Christmas outfit day at school, Father Christmas visits and so many family things too – and Little Man has decided he will be wearing his new suit to as many of these things as possible.

With the Opposuits Santaboss suit, Little Man wore one of his school shirts and his school shoes – we’ll be investing in some smart shoes for him nearer Christmas but it shows that you don’t need to spend a fortune for children to really get dressed up and look the part at Christmas.

It’s safe to say that Opposuits are going to feature heavily in our Christmas plans – and who knows, Dave may even have a matching suit within the coming weeks too! Opposuits have a great range of suits for the whole family with plenty of Christmas options and ones that can be worn all year round too.

The Santaboss suit has an RRP of £44.95 and you can see the whole range for men, women and children over on the Opposuits website.

    That suit is amazing. My 6 year old son is proud enough of his Christmas braces, but he would be blown away by something that colourful and Christmassy.
