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.
A little photo dump from our holiday in St Lucia. A little photo dump from our holiday in St Lucia. We’ve been back a few days now but still miss the heat, the food, the pool, the constant sounds of wildlife and the lovely people. It was such a great holiday and I’m sure we’ll be back one day.
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!

Breakfast Smoothie Recipes

At the start of the year I made a resolution that I would start to take better care of myself and get fit and healthy. I have been trying to eat better and my main issue has always been breakfast. I often skip it, forget about it or grab something really unhealthy because I haven’t planned it very well.

I’ve found a lot of great healthy breakfast ideas online recently and, using those as inspiration, I started making smoothies for breakfast and I really haven’t looked back!

Our Breville Blend Active makes healthy smoothies easy to take out and about with me – on the school run or to work – and frozen and tinned fruit makes the ingredients convenient too.

Healthy breakfast smoothies are such a winning way to start the day and they definitely get my day off on the right foot. I love them.

Here are two of my favourite smoothie recipes for breakfast time – stick it in a blender and blend!

Peach and Mango Smoothie

  • Half a tin of peach slices in juice, drained
  • 100g frozen mango
  • 120ml water

  • 100g frozen mixed berries
  • 150ml water

Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie

  • a tablespoon of peanut butter
  • half a banana
  • 200ml milk

Apart from smoothies I often have whole wheat cereals and skimmed milk, fruit and low fat yogurt or porridge to keep me going through the day. I’ve found that if I have a good breakfast I am more likely to eat better through the day, not snack as much and have a generally healthier diet.

What are your favourite things to have for breakfast? Or are you like I was, skipping breakfast most days and just not having the time? If that’s you, grab an apple or a banana – something is definitely better than nothing.

    I use a nutribullet for my morning smoothie which I LOVE. But I always put in the same amount of spinach (tend to find fresh nicer but frozen works too) as fruit in. You don’t taste it at all! It does give it a lovely bright green colour but your getting all the healthy benefits from the spinach. My fave mix is frozen mango, frozen pineapple, spinach and water or sometimes coconut water!
