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!

Me & Mine {March 2020}

Well, this month wasn’t really the one we expected was it? March is usually one of my favourites because we’re always so excited for spring, so excited for the warmer weather and so excited for the clocks changing and the days getting longer. But this month it feels like all the excitement has been taken away. It’s been pretty odd.

The month starter with slower weekends and school, time spent in the forest and a press trip to Beaulieu. But, before we knew it the month turned into one where we were stuck at home, schooling the children from the dining table and adjusting to our new normal.

Although this month has lacked excitement and it has been so emotional in places it has actually ended quite nicely. Life changing so much has made us really appreciate the little things and things that we often take for granted.

Right now I love having so much time with the children. It’s time that I lost once they started school and time that I missed. So now that the children are at home for the foreseeable future I’m enjoying having company at lunchtime, watching them learn and seeing the school tasks they enjoy and the ones they don’t like so much. It’s nice to play board games as a family, kick a ball around the garden and just make the most of the sun whilst it’s shining.

This month isn’t the one we expected but, it hasn’t been a bad month either. We’re healthy, we’re pretty content and we have so much to be thankful for. I’m sure April will be a lot more of the same.

    Whilst March has been bonkers, I must be one of the few who actually hasn’t minded it. it’s been a rare thing to HAVE to slow down, not be rushing from one place to the next and spending time together and enjoying games and crafting. I’ve also realised just how much work I can actually get done in the evenings if I need to and how productive I can be under pressure! Glad you’re all well still

    Its been utterly bizarre. I hate using the word because its been used too much in this instance but it really has been ‘unprecedented’. Once we had a chance to adjust to the change (which left me in a sort of daze while trying to comprehend it) and settle in to it, I actually think I’m enjoying it. I don’t feel ‘stuck’ at home *yet but its been nice having all the kids here, and my husband of course.
