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!

Hot Wheels Roto Revolution Track Set Review

Last week I shared Little Man’s love of his first Hot Wheels set. It was his first Hot Wheels experience and it gave him the taste of fast cars and the whole world of car toys. But this week Little Man’s Hot Wheels world got bigger with the introduction of the Hot Wheels Roto Revolution Track Set.

Review: Hot Wheels Roto Revolution Track Set

The Hot Wheels Roto Revolution Track Set comes with two cars and takes just minutes to put together and set up. It does need four D batteries which aren’t included but once up and running it looks like such an exciting play set.

Review: Hot Wheels Roto Revolution Track Set

The Roto Revolution is made up of one main unit with three tracks around it. There are then two car launchers which feed into the main track part of the set. The aim of Roto Revolution is to launch the cars at just the right time for them to pass across to the main unit and fly around the tracks.

Review: Hot Wheels Roto Revolution Track Set

Getting the cars to launch into the main unit is quite tricky – you have to bang down on the launcher really hard and at the right time – something that Little Man got the hang of quite quickly but it took LP a little longer to get used to it. Practice really does make perfect.

Review: Hot Wheels Roto Revolution Track Set

Once inside the main unit the cars go crazy! They fly from one track to the next at such speed that the children were constantly in awe of it. They sit back and try and watch the car as it races around, waiting for it to fly off the track or stop half way round.

Review: Hot Wheels Roto Revolution Track Set

The Hot Wheels Roto Revolution Track Set isn’t small – it takes up a lot of space but you can put the launchers onto the base unit as 45 degree angles so that it would sit nicely in a corner and take up less room. It’s also really noisy – it makes a constant whirring noise like a vacuum and when the car is spinning around the track it makes a noise almost like a pinball machine.

But, LP and Little Man both love Roto Revolution. They get so excited when their car makes it into the main unit and they get even more excited when it spins so fast around the track.

Review: Hot Wheels Roto Revolution Track Set

The Roto Revolution set would be a great investment for any Hot Wheels fan as an addition to a Hot Wheels collection but would also make a great first Hot Wheels toy too.

The Hot Wheels Roto Revolution Track Set has an RRP of £49.99
