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!

School Uniform from M&Co Review

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

I have loved M&Co for years, buying clothes for myself for such a long time and constantly buying the children clothes from there since they came along. But, up until now I didn’t know that they did school uniform – and they sent LP a selection of their uniform products so she could test it out.

The M&Co school uniform has flowers on the labels for girls uniform and cars for the boys uniform so you can easily tell it apart – especially if you have a boy and a girl and are trying to sort out the washing! But we asked for boys shirts for LP as they can then be passed down to her brother when he starts school next year.

The Polo Shirts are really nice and soft, coming in a pack of two and being really hard wearing and nice to wear. LP loves polo shirts and finds them so much more comfortable than proper collared shirts – I know she’ll hate it when she gets old enough to stop wearing polos to school.

Review: School Uniform from M&Co

LP also had a Pinafore Dress which, unlike other ones we’ve had in the past, zips up the back. I would prefer it to zip up the front as it would be easier for LP to get changed by herself but apart from that it’s a really nice design and really well made.

Review: School Uniform from M&Co

We also got a pair of trousers for LP which isn’t something she wears often. They had a really cute heart design on them and size adjuster buttons on the waist which are always really appreciated, making school uniform last that much longer.

Review: School Uniform from M&Co

All of the M&Co sizes were on the large side. LP is a very petite nearly five year old and we ordered age 4-5 for her however we could have probably got away with 3-4 still although the larger size definitely gives room for her to grow.

Review: School Uniform from M&Co

The M&Co uniform range is fantastic, with lots of different options and styles. LP loves her new uniform and it’s nice to know that there is somewhere else we can shop for uniform as she needs it throughout the year.

    Our nearest M&Co is a half hour drive away so rarely go into them and have never shopped online, but in the past have had some nice boys clothes from there. I think most school uniforms come up large. I’d say N is an average height and build, but he has to have slim fit trousers otherwise there’s still way too much fabric and bulk around the hips. It’s why I only ever buy from 2 stores that do the slim fit versions.

    These look like nice school uniforms, I’ve never shopped at M & Co but my girls have a lot of nice things from there that they’ve had as presents. Your little girl is looking all grown up in these photos.
