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.

Introducing Hairburst – For New Mums! | AD

*This is a paid post

One thing that I vividly remember from pregnancy, and the weeks and months following my baby’s birth was the state of my hair. Through pregnancy there were times when my hair felt amazing, so full of volume and so thick – but it would soon turn into a greasy mess, untameable and with a life of it’s own. After having the baby my hair seemed to come out in clumps, with the plug hole blocked after every shower and my hair noticeably thinner than before.

Introducing Hairburst - For New Mums!

I had friends who spoke about hair loss and thinning hair through pregnancy too, patches of almost baldness after their babies arrived and the one thing we all had in common was how unexpected it was – how no-one had told us anything to prepare us for the sorry state our hair had become.

I remember writing about postpartum hair loss and wondering whether it would ever stop – would my hair eventually stay in my head or would it keep falling our in an endless stream? Back then I didn’t know what to do, took to washing my hair less frequently in the hope it would ease the hair loss and just hoped that my hair would go back to normal – but it never happened. In the end I cut my hair as short as I dared which made the hair loss less noticeable.

I’ve just heard about Hairburst’s new For New Mums supplement and I really wish it had been around when I had Little Man and LP. For New Mums contains safe levels of biotin which is effective for normal hair growth pre, during and post pregnancy and Hairburst For New Mums contains a range of B vitamins which can combat tiredness and fatigue when your new baby is keeping you up at night. I could have definitely used For New Mums during and after both of my pregnancies.

Introducing Hairburst - For New Mums!

Hairburst believe the key to gorgeous hair starts from within and For New Mums is scientifically formulated and includes nutrients which can help maintain healthy hair and a mix of proven ingredients for hair growth.

At the time when your whole body has been put under strain, growing and carrying a baby for months, and then, when the baby is here, and you are exhausted, run down and in need of a pick me up – Hairburst have the answer. For New Mums won’t fix everything but it can make you feel a bit better about yourself at a time when you really need it.

Introducing Hairburst - For New Mums!

I know that if For New Mums had been around after I had LP and Little Man I would definitely have tried it. Anything that could make my hair grow and stop me feeling like baldness was around the corner has got to be a good thing and I’m sure that it would help to give new mums a confidence boost when they need it most.

    We have been using Hairburst for new mums and whilst my hair isn’t any longer the shedding of hair has def slowed down! No one warns you about these things when you have a baby!

    These sound brilliant. My hair still hasn’t recovered from having Youngest and that was 4 years ago! Like you say it really affects your confidence. I will be giving these a go! 🙂

    Post-partum hair loss was my least favourite pregnancy symptom. After three pregnancies in quick succession my hair is still recovering.

    I would have loved these when Olly was born. I really struggled with hair loss in the first few months. Good to know there’s something out there to help new mums

    I don’t if I was just lucky, or if it wasn’t noticeable because my hair is short but I didn’t have much hair loss after my boys were born. I know lots of my friends have suffered though and I’m sure they would love to have something that can help.

    Oh gosh yes, this is definitely something that’s helpful for new mums. Women take such a lot of their confidence from their hair, losing it can be really damaging psychologically, especially at a time when new mums are prone to feeling low anyway. It will be great if this can prevent it.

    I think so many people suffer with this, thankfully my hair got stupidly thick during pregnancy so it then just went back to normal after the birth. My hair has got more curly with each pregnancy though, it realy does change things. Mich x

    I lost what seemed like loads of hair after giving birth, but later discovered that as I hadn’t lost hardly any during my pregnancy, it looked like I was about to lose the whole lot once my baby had been born

    My hair was terrible when I was pregnant second time around and it’s still bad now nearly 3 years later. Another thing they don’t tell us beforehand! I would have definitely tried these x
