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 LP dry through the night and Huggies DryNites Review

Disclosure: We were sent the featured products for the purpose of this post however all opinions are my own.

Back in October 2013  we potty trained LP and aside from an occasional accident here and there she has been dry during the day since a few weeks later. It made life with two small children so much easier and considering she was only a couple of months past her second Birthday I think she dealt with it all incredibly well.

But since then LP has continued to wear nappies at night time. This isn’t something that bothers me as changing one nappy a day is a lot easier than changing nappies throughout the day! I was also told by many friends that her nappies would gradually become dryer in the night and that would be a sign to ditch the nappies. Well, her nappies are definitely dryer, especially since starting preschool and getting up earlier but they aren’t dry yet.

Even so, when Huggies sent us some of their products – Huggies DryNites Pyjama Pants, Bed Mats and Natural Care Wipes to try I thought we’d see how LP would cope with special bedtime pants and a layer of protection under her bed sheet!

What did we think of Huggies DryNites?

She loved the designs on the DryNites, so much more exciting that a normal nappy, and she looked comfortable in them too. She’s been able to pull the disposable nappies up and down herself and we have been leaving the baby gate on her door open so she can get up in the night if she needs to go. They have the new DryNites wetness indicator so we can easily see if the DryNites have been used and she just looks so comfortable in them.

Getting LP dry through the night & Huggies DryNites Review

So how has it been going? Well, LP has never got up in the night to use the toilet, is still wet in the morning but loves wearing pants with princesses on to bed! So for now we are carrying on as we are, nappies or pull ups at bedtime until LP shows signs that she doesn’t need to go during the night – so we can avoid any bed wetting. If she is still having wet nappies at night when she’s a lot older I’ll be concerned but there are children LP’s age that still aren’t dry during the night so it doesn’t really worry me at all.

How did your children cope with potty training? Were they dry through the night straight away or did it take them a while? I’d love to hear your experiences.

    Night time is definitely harder, but I believe there is a hormonal influence at play as well, so unless they are really ready it won’t really happen. Good luck!

    I have two girls who were both easily trained in the day very shortly after their 2nd birthday but my eldest needed pull ups or bed mats for ages after (almost 5) and my littley was dry at night from a couple of weeks after training and has rarely had an accident since. I think it’s one of those things that can’t really be hurried and just seems to happen when they are ready.

    We will be starting potty training shortly with Eli. He already sits on the potty quite happily and has had a few accidental ‘deposits’. Hope it’s a simple task 🙂

    I can’t actually remember how old Monkey was when he went dry through the night. I just realised one morning that he hadn’t had a wet nappy in the morning for some time. I totally wouldn’t stress about it, they all get there in the end. Have you tried a dream wee? Taking her to the toilet when you go to bed, she won’t be fully awake. I know my friend did that with her little girl who wouldn’t go to the toilet in the night by herself if she needed to.

    Logan still wears nappies overnight. I’ve been struggling to find a nappy that holds the volume of pee he does overnight. Huggies didn’t work and pampers were sporadic. Strangely I found Aldis nappies have solved our problem!
