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!

Blaze and the Monster Machines: Monster Dome Playset Review

Little Man absolutely loves Blaze and the Monster Machines so when we were sent the Monster Dome Playset to review he was beyond excited. The playset had really good instructions to help put it together and he was playing with it in no time.

The Monster Dome Playset comes with Blaze and Crusher vehicles who each have their own colour coded section of track to race on. The complete playset can be configured in lots of different ways to have different play options and increase the use of the playset however, Little Man was happy with it in the initial set up – which also took up the least amount of space.

With the Monster Dome Playset Little Man was able to make the two cars race and jump but the set would be great for friends of siblings to race against each other. The idea is that the cars start at one end and you hit the launcher to propel the cars around the course. The set is great at teaching momentum and Little Man soon learnt that the harder he hit the launcher the further – and faster – the car would go around the track.

Although the playset is aimed at children aged three and over Little Man did find it hard to hit the launcher hard enough to make the cars go around the track – doing the jump or making their way fully around the loop the loop. But, he found he could step on the launcher with more force which helped the cars go round – not the best way to use the Monster Dome Playset but it had the desired result!

Any child will love this playset regardless of whether they are a Blaze and the Monster Machines fan – but if they’re a fan they will love it even more. Little Man has played with it constantly since it arrived and LP loves it too. Here’s a little video to show the playset in motion:

The Blaze and the Monster Machines Monster Dome Playset has an RRP of £29.99

    Oh Rhys would love this, he’s a big Blaze fan! Love that little man found his own solution to his difficulties with the launcher, I can imagine Rhys would be the same, just stomping on it! x
