The Gro Anywhere Travel Blind

With our holiday looming (yay!) my thoughts have now turned to practical issues - like restoring some semblence of my daughter's usual routine, once we've settled into our lovely villa in St Lucia. She's usually pretty good at taking her afternoon nap (after a bit of grumbling) but that's in a familiar room, with all her toys around her, and a blackout blind.
I knew that if the room at the villa wasn't nice and dark, there'd be no chance of her nodding off - which equals a very grumpy girl, come late afternoon!
Thank goodness for The Gro Company, who came to our rescue with the Gro Anywhere Travel Blind. Made from blackout fabric, the adjustable blind is attached to any window, measuring up to 135 x 200cms, with a series of suction cups. Our Gro Anywhere blind arrived in its handy travel bag - and
just in the nick of time too! Our bedroom blind had just given up the ghost, and the replacement hadn't arrived, so we actually put it up in our room for the week. The suction cups were a little tricky at first, but then I discovered a twisting technique that secured them nicely. The material blocked out the light completely, leaving the room darker than the regular blind ever did.
We'll definitely take it with us on holiday, to ensure nap time is as painless as possible!
