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!

Inspire Little Minds with Volta, The Levitating Night Light | AD

*This is a collaborative guest post

Bedtime should be the time of day you relax, destress, and ease into dreamland. But parents know that this is rarely how it goes down.

Getting your little ones to stay put under the covers is a battle that can leave kids fussier than ever and parents at their wit’s end.

Inspire Little Minds with Volta, The Levitating Night Light

While children’s bodies might be tired in the evening, their imaginations are often abuzz with ideas, stories, and excitement about the future. For that reason, they just want one more bedtime story or one more minute to watch their favourite YouTube show.

It’s a shame to have to force the ‘off’ switch on their buzzing little brains. But what if there was a way to satisfy their hyperactive imaginations while putting them to sleep at the same time?

That’s exactly what happens with Volta, the levitating lightbulb and night light.

Inspire Little Minds with Volta, The Levitating Night Light

Volta is like taking something directly from the fantastical stories kids love to hear and placing it in their room. It’s a real levitating lamp that hovers and spins in zero-gravity as it glows.

Volta was engineered to be the first affordable levitating lightbulb for the home. It features real levitation powered by electromagnets in its bulb and base, and it transfers electricity through the air via magnetic induction technology.

That’s certainly a mouthful for any child (or adult, for that matter), but that’s a good thing for little minds. The questions are boundless. It opens the imagination up to science, technology, astronomy, storytelling, and so many more inspiring themes that support healthy mental exploration.

And for parents? Volta is relaxing and mesmerizing for you too. But the real benefit is that your kids won’t be able to wait for bedtime. They won’t want to fuss over leaving the TV or computer because they’ll have another stimulating experience awaiting them.

Children are drawn to Volta’s almost hypnotic levitation. As it spins in midair, it inspires minds while keeping mouths quiet and bodies at rest. And then it does its most important job—it puts
them to sleep!

How Does Volta Help Kids Sleep?

When Volta’s soft glow combines with its steady levitation, it creates a serene atmosphere that lowers stress and calms the body. Its special LED lighting was developed according to colour temperature design theory, a new trend in interior lighting that evokes changes in mood with different light tones.
