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.
A little photo dump from our holiday in St Lucia. A little photo dump from our holiday in St Lucia. We’ve been back a few days now but still miss the heat, the food, the pool, the constant sounds of wildlife and the lovely people. It was such a great holiday and I’m sure we’ll be back one day.
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!

Homemade Nachos Recipe

Everyone has their ideal comfort food. A food that they could eat all day every day and a food that just makes everything better. For me, it’s nachos. I could eat those Mexican crisps and toppings every single day and never get bored and one thing we love as a family is making nachos for dinner. They’re a regular feature on our meal plans and something the children get really excited about.

Recipe: Homemade Nachos

Some people love having beef chilli as a nachos topping but we always have it on the side so it doesn’t make the nachos too soggy. However, if you like having chilli with it you can simply cook some ground beef with taco seasoning, tomatoes and tomato puree and some kidney beans for a really simple chilli.

What else can I add to home made nachos?

We have easy nachos with chilli con carne instead of rice and it’s something the children love as well. There’s something really exciting about having crisps for dinner! If you like you can add more toppings to this once cooked – sour cream, black beans, spicy chicken, refried beans, jalapenos – anything to make the nachos as delicious as possible and so easy to throw together.

To bake nachos takes just minutes and it’s one of the easiest recipes you can have, Plus, whilst the nachos are baking, enjoy a glass of wine and the extra time that you’ve saved by not spending hours in the kitchen! They’re such a wonderful summer dish but we enjoy them all year round.

Homemade nachos are incredibly easy to make – and here’s our very Homemade Nachos Recipe:

Ingredients

  • Tortilla chips
  • Mozzarella ball
  • Cheddar cheese, grated
  • Salsa
Recipe: Homemade Nachos

Recipe

  • Preheat the oven 200C/400F/Gas 6
  • Pour the tortilla chips into an ovenproof dish or lay on a sheet pan.
  • Pour over the salsa and tear the mozzarella ball apart. Sprinkle the mozzarella over the top of the salsa and then add the shredded cheese.
  • Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown on top

Nachos make a perfect accompaniment to many meals. They’re a really sociable food and are great for enjoying whilst watching a movie or playing board games. Actually, any occasion is perfect for nachos!
