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!

Working Towards a Cleaner Environment with Bio-D | AD

As a family we use so many cleaning products – from household sprays and cleaners, to washing detergent, washing up liquid and even hand wash. We always seem to be cleaning something and I often wonder what effect we are having on the environment with all those products being washed down the plug hole.

But, over the last few weeks we’ve been using Bio-D’s range of environmentally friendly, vegan, ethical cleaning products to see how well they clean – and if, by using them, we can do a little bit more to help the environment too.

Working Towards a Cleaner Environment with Bio-D

Until recently I had no idea how many chemicals went into typical cleaning products – phosphates, acids, bleaches, dyes… So knowing that a brand like Bio-D leave all of those nasties out of their products definitely gives me peace of mind and makes me feel like I’m doing my bit for the environment and also to look after my family a little bit more too.

We’ve been using the Bio-D All Purpose Sanitiser and Multi Surface Sanitiser around the house and they work as well – if not better – than our usually cleaning products. They smell wonderfully of lemon, leaving the floors and surfaces smelling lemon fresh and looking so beautifully clean too.

One thing we get through so much of as a family is washing up liquid and Bio-D’s Pink Grapefruit Washing Up Liquid smells amazing – but also works wonders. Usually after washing up my hands are really dry – but I hate wearing washing up gloves. But, Bio-D is tough on grease and gentle on our skin.

As a family we are also always washing our hands. The children wash their hands constantly and we are always washing our hands before touching food, after cleaning things up, after being in the garden. Bio-D’s Sanitising Hand Wash again smells great but works well – and a little goes a long way. Plus, it leaves our skin so soft and means it is perfect for the whole family.

Whilst we’ve been using Bio-D’s products we’ve also been reading up about their Eat. Clean. campaign which aims to get people who love good food thinking more about the environmental impact that everyday kitchen products such as washing up liquid and hand soap can have. It’s been launched in light of the current focus on the effect plastic has on our oceans – with Bio-D’s new packaging being made from 100% recycled materials.

Working Towards a Cleaner Environment with Bio-D

Bio-D let’s us keep our home and our kitchen clean in an ethical and sustainable way – something that I know many people, like us, have never really considered. But, it’s changes like this which can make such a difference – and I know that I am now sold on not only Bio-D’s products but also the story behind it – and the end goal of keeping the environment as clean and healthy as possible for the future generations.

You can see the full Bio-D range here.

    Oh these look great. I keep thinking that we should really use more ethical cleaners with the boys always around when we clean so will pop off to have a look at these!
