AD - Press Trip | I had such a great weekend at @p AD - Press Trip | I had such a great weekend at @pottersresortsfivelakes with @slwilson84. It was an action packed three nights with a full activity and entertainment programme, great food, lovely drinks and beautiful surroundings. 

The staff go above and beyond to make everyone feel at home and they ensure that everyone has the best time possible. I don’t think I stopped smiling all weekend.

The best thing about Potters holidays is that everything is included in the price you pay. Four meals a day, all your drinks - including wine, Prosecco, most spirits and soft drinks - great accommodation and so many activities. 

I’ll write a full review soon but for now here’s a little Reel of our weekend
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!

A week at a Fit For Sport Activity Camp

Disclosure: We were invited on this day out for the purpose of this post however all opinions are my own.

LP and Little Man have never done any kind of holiday club – they haven’t really had any kind of formal childcare – and as I work from home, and can work around the children, we’ve never really needed to book childcare for the holidays. But, Fit for Sport invited the children to try one of their activity camps, at our local leisure centre, and I thought it would be a great way to try a holiday club with the idea of using it regularly in the future.

Our local Fit for Sport activity camp is at the leisure centre where LP and Little Man have their swimming lessons so it’s really familiar to them. We were booked on the extended camp which runs from 8am until 6pm Monday to Friday but there are also shorter days available – and the main range of activities run from 9:30am to 4:30pm each day.

The club staff were really lovely and friendly and they were happy for me to drop the children off when they were ready in the morning – usually at about 8:15am – and then pick them up when we wanted to, usually any time between 5 and 6pm.

When we dropped the children off they were given a wrist band with a number on. We had to make a note of the number and we had to give the staff the number again at the end of the day to collect the children. This is a great security measure and it just meant that if different people dropped off and picked up they would just need to both know the number for that day.

Each day the children took a packed lunch with them, two healthy snacks and a water bottle. After the first day they also had to take their swim stuff with them as well – which LP and Little Man were super excited about.

At activity camp each day the children had a range of activities – and no two days were the same. They included things like arts and crafts, games, sports and swimming. The children were even able to have bouncy castle sessions and the day moved along so quickly that they didn’t have a chance to get bored. When they spoke to us about their day they told us what they’d done, when the snack breaks were, when lunch was and what they were doing when we went to pick them up. Each day it seemed like they had crammed so much in – and had so much fun! They did only go outside once during the week and it would have been nice if this happened more often – especially with the weather being so nice – but the children were really happy with whatever activities they were doing.

I was worried before the children went to Fit For Sport that they might find it monotonous or that they’d prefer to be at home. But the children said they would happily spend the whole summer at Fit for Sport if they could. They made new friends, tried new things, had so much fun and were so sad when their week was over. The week finished with a little disco in the afternoon which was a perfect send off.

The great thing for us about Fit For Sport is that it’s flexible – you can book just a day here and there through the holidays if you want to and you can book the standard days or extended days at the same time. Plus, it runs through every school holidays. I think the children would love to go to the Fit For Sport Activity Camp regularly in the future and if that was a day a week then it would be a day each week that the children would really look forward to. But, if they went for a week or two they would love it just as much. Their Fit For Sport week really has been a highlight of their holidays.

Our Fit for Sport Activity Camp started at £24.93 a day and you can find out more here.

    This sounds brilliant and is such a good price – I just did a quick search and they’re not available in my region yet but hopefully will be soon. – I’ll keep an eye out x
