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!

Chocolate Easter Mini Egg Flapjacks Recipe

I love flapjacks at any time of the year but there’s nothing quite like an Easter flapjack coated in chocolate. This Mini Egg Flapjack is something we’ve made for years and I thought it was about time I shared it with you. It’s a really lovely kids flapjack recipe that kids can bake with just a little adult supervision.

Chocolate Easter Mini Egg Flapjacks

What is a flapjack?

An English flapjack is a baked bar, cooked in a flat oven tin and cut into squares or rectangles, made from rolled oats, fat, brown sugar and usually golden syrup. They’re usually crunchy on the outside, gooey in the middle and utterly moreish. Flapjacks are a really lovely sweet treat and one that reminds me of my childhood.

What do you need for a Chocolate Easter Flapjack?

For this easiest flapjack recipe, we use our typical flapjack ingredients – sugar, butter, golden syrup and oats. We then top with milk chocolate and Cadburys Mini Eggs. You could top this with Cadbury Dairy Milk but we just use any milk chocolate and instead of Mini Eggs you could use any small Easter chocolates. Creme Eggs, little Galaxy Eggs or even Reese’s Eggs would work really well.

If you want an all year round easy chocolate flapjack, not just one to make in March and April, you could top this with any chocolate you wanted. Hearts for a Valentines Flapjack, mini gingerbread men or candy canes at Christmas and Smarties or M&Ms to enjoy throughout the year.

How to make flapjacks

For this chocolate flapjack recipe we melt the butter, sugar and golden syrup. I usually do this on the hob but you could also do it in the microwave in a microwave safe bowl, whichever you prefer. The oats are then added before baking in the oven until golden brown. It then gets topped with melted chocolate and Easter egg toppings.

This is an easy flapjack recipe for children to get involved in, you may just need to supervise the melting processes and make sure they’re safe around the oven! We always melt chocolate in the microwave rather than melting chocolate over a pan of water when the children are involved. But our children love making chocolate flapjacks – they’re so easy and give fantastic results despite not needing long to bake at all.

If you’re looking for a simple twist on a traditional bake, chocolate covered flapjacks are so simple to make with just a little bit more effort that a typical flapjack. This chocolate topped flapjack recipe is easy to tweak with the seasons and it’s one everyone always loves. It smells delicious and tastes great too!
