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!

Mr Pop Review – a Family Game from Ideal at John Adams

LP and Little Man are at the age now where they can play games happily together, taking turns and understanding the instructions without the meltdowns of a couple of years ago. Because of this we have been expanding our games collection, adding games that the whole family can enjoy. Our latest addition to our collection is Mr Pop from John Adams.

Review: Mr Pop - a Family Game from Ideal at John Adams

Mr Pop is a fast paced game that children will love. It’s aimed at age four and over and LP and Little Man can play it happily at five and seven. The box comes with Mr Pop’s head and bath tub, his rubber body, a selection of face pieces and cards with different Mr Pop faces on them.

The face cards are colour coded so that you can tell how difficult each face will be to make. The idea is that the children take it in turns to pick a card, start the timer on Mr Pop’s bath and then rush to put all the parts of his face onto his head before the timer runs out and Mr Pop pops.

LP and Little Man loved trying to put the face pieces on as quick as possible and they soon realised the easiest faces were too easy and moved onto the more difficult cards. They both really enjoyed this game and the only issue we found was that Mr Pop seemed quite stiff and his rubber body got stuck in his mechanism at times stopping him from popping but, as long as we made sure his body wasn’t in the way he popped really nicely!

The children loved competing with each other to see who could make the trickiest faces before the time ran out. They also found they could turn the timer a shorter distance round to give themselves less time to make the faces on the cards and increase the difficulty of the game.

LP made her own game using Mr Pop too, seeing how many pieces she could fit on his face before he popped. She could literally sit for hours just rearranging his face and she really enjoyed seeing all the different combinations she could make.

Mr Pop is a game that children will really enjoy and I can see it being a bit hit over the festive period. It would make a great stocking filler or gift for any child.

Mr Pop has an RRP of £12.99
