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!

Paw Patrol Mission PAW Mission Cruiser and Mission PAW Mini Vehicles Review

Disclosure: We were sent the featured products for the purpose of this post however all opinions are my own.

Little Man is a huge Paw Patrol fan and so when we were sent the Paw Patrol Mission PAW Mission Cruiser to review he couldn’t wait to get playing. He already has a collection of Paw Patrol toys, including the Paw Patrol Lookout Tower, and so the Mission Cruiser is a great addition to our playroom. But, it would work just as well as a first Paw Patrol toy – The Spin Master Paw Patrol Toys really help bring the show to life! But, with the new Mission PAW TV show it’s only right there should be a new range of toys too.

The Paw Patrol Mission Cruiser is quite a substantial toy that comes with a Robo Dog figure, Robo Dog’s vehicle and a mission card. Although the Mission Cruiser is created to be a central part in any Paw Patrol play, surrounded by the whole Paw Patrol team of pups, having the Robo Dog and vehicle gives a great starting point and lets children go on Mission PAW missions – full of friendship, teamwork and bravery – even without other pups and their vehicles.

Little Man was also sent two additional pups and their mini vehicles which really opened up game play. Each set contained a mission card too which could be put in the top of the Paw Patrol Mission Cruiser, turning the vehicle into a control centre for each mission. There is a compartment in the end of the Mission Cruiser that opens up to store spare mission cards and additional pups too.

The main bulk of the Paw Patrol Mission Cruiser houses up to three vehicles and buttons on the back of the Mission Cruiser launch the vehicles down ramps and off on their mission. There’s also a driver’s cab at the front of the Mission Cruiser where Ryder or the pups can sit to drive the vehicle and spare pups also fit in there too.

The Paw Patrol Mission Cruiser has a button on the top that opens up the control centre and also drops down the side of the cruiser ready for the mini vehicles to launch. This buttons has sounds when it’s pressed but unlike other interactive toys the sounds aren’t too repetitive or too long making it quite a nice toy to be played with – from a parent’s perspective. It’s not annoying in the slightest! Plus, it really helps Little Man’s imagination, getting into the spirit of Mission PAW and being able to really act out those missions with sound effects to match.

Little Man loves his Mission Cruiser and it has expanded his Paw Patrol toy collection perfectly. It also means that he can receive more pups and mini vehicles in the future as birthday or Christmas gifts so it is a toy that can be added to over time. It’s a good size toy to be really enjoyed and appreciated by a child but not too big that it takes over your house and it is it’s own storage system too – as the mini vehicles and pups fit nicely inside it.

I think the Paw Patrol Mission Cruiser is a great investment for any Paw Patrol loving child especially as Paw Patrol toys are the top range for preschool children this year. I know Little Man will be playing with the Mission Cruiser for a long time to come, after all, there’s no job is too big, no pup is too small for the Mission PAW pups!
