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!

Oaty Fruity Banana Breakfast Muffins Recipe

This post contains affiliate links and I may receive commission if you visit a link and buy something. Purchasing via an affiliate link doesn’t cost you any extra, and I only recommend products and services I trust.

We love baking and muffins are always a winner, especially if we have past their best bananas that need to be used up. We’ve started making breakfast muffins as a quick and easy start to the day or to have as a snack and these Oaty Fruity Banana Breakfast Muffins are some of our favourites.

Oaty Fruity Banana Breakfast Muffins

What do we need for these breakfast muffins?

For this banana muffin recipe we use three overripe bananas, a few oats and dried fruit. Our first choice is always a mix of dried cranberries and raisins but we often just use a cheap dried fruit mix or whatever we have in the cupboard. Any dried fruit works for this recipe – you can just throw it all in.

The children love having these muffins for breakfast – they’re a great way to start the day. They’re also perfect for lunchboxes and great for taking on a day out, as part of a picnic or a great snack for any time of the day. They’re really moreish, taste healthy and are a great alternative to buying an expensive muffin from a coffee shop on your way to work!

Are these healthy banana muffins?

Although these banana oat muffins taste healthy and look healthy, they do have the usual cake ingredients of sugar and butter in them as well as the natural sugars in the fruit content. If you wanted a healthier option, you could use less sugar, leave the sugar out or use a whole wheat flour instead.

If you’re looking for other recipes to try give our banana bread, fruity banana loaf or banana pancakes a try. You can see all our overripe banana recipes here.

What equipment do you need to make these fruit nut muffins?

You will no doubt have most of the equipment you need for this recipe at home already but, in case it helps, here are the things we use to bake these cakes at home:

  • A 12 hole muffin tin
  • Paper cake cases
  • A mixing bowl
  • Scales
  • A wooden spoon
  • Measuring spoons
  • A wire rack

These are pretty much staples for baking in any home kitchen and once you have them you won’t need to replace them often.
