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!

Pourty Potty Training Products Review

Disclosure: We were sent the featured products for the purpose of this post however all opinions are my own.

This post contains affiliate links and I may receive commission if you visit a link and buy something. Purchasing via an affiliate link doesn’t cost you any extra, and I only recommend products and services I trust.

Last summer, when Little Man was the same age LP was when we started potty training her, Pourty sent us their great range of potty training products to help Little Man on his way. However, all children are different and Little Man showed no interest in potty training at all. So we left it a while to do things in his own time.

However, since the products arrived LP has been making use of the Flexi Fit Toilet Trainer and Pourty Up Step. Although she has been dry during the day for over two years now, she is still so petite that a step really helps her use the toilet, and the Toilet Trainer stops her having to balance on the toilet seat, instead being able to sit comfortably.

Review: Pourty Potty Training Products

When Little Man turned three he suddenly had an urge to be a big boy and so we thought it was the right time to try again with the Pourty Potty and start Little Man’s potty training journey.

Although reluctant at first, happier keeping his nappy on, he loved wearing pants and after the first day of a few accidents Little Man got used to not just going to the toilet whenever he wanted and holding it for a length of time. We would ask him regularly if he needed the toilet and we’d ask him to sit on the potty.

The Pourty Potty is really nicely moulded to make it comfortable for him to sit on. The raised front means that he doesn’t wee everywhere as there’s a barrier and the great design makes it easy to pour the contents straight down the toilet when he’s finished. It really couldn’t be any more well designed and Little Man has no issues using it.

Review: Pourty Potty Training Products

When we’re downstairs he uses the potty but when we’re upstairs – first thing in the morning or at bedtime he will use the toilet. The Pourty Up Step grips well to the floor, stopping it from sliding around and both the children use it to clean their teeth or to turn the bathroom light on or off. I can see it being a feature in our bathroom long after potty training is finished!

Review: Pourty Potty Training Products

The Flexi Fit Toilet Trainer is comfortable for Little Man to sit on and he loves putting it on and off the toilet himself too – it really makes him feel like a big boy! The raised section at the front again stops him weeing everywhere – a great feature!

Review: Pourty Potty Training Products

Little Man is now dry through the day. He only has an accident very rarely and we are so proud of how well he has done and he now only wears nappies at night. I love that Pourty products have supported him with this transition and are the only things we have needed to get him from wearing nappies to pants.

The Flexi Fit Toilet Trainer has an RRP of £14.95, the Pourty Up Step has an RRP of £9.99 and the Pourty Potty has an RRP of £9.99.

    Try to start in the warmer Summer months when you can let your little one toddle about in their pull ups/pants and a top. During the Winter when they are dressed in trousers/tights, it is harder for them to pull them down when they need to use the potty.

    View it as part of the child’s development, there will be a time when the child is ready. As child is becoming more independent, dress child in a manner which assists with the overall task or aim of easing child into toileting. Praise and Encouragement for the child is beneficial to the whole experience for child and parents.

    My best tip is to wait until they’re ready. Libby woke up one morning and decided she didn’t want to wear nappies anymore at the most inconvenient of times. But it went without a hitch, whereas when we’d tried earlier it was really tough because she wasn’t ready.

    I don’t have a tip because we’re having a terrible time with my niece.
    She was doing so well and has regressed for the last 6 months.
    If you can sneakily get her on the loo/potty then she is fine and happy and will pee, but if you ask her if she needs to go or she realises what you’re going there is all kinds of noooooooooo and squirming etc. She just won’t do it anymore 🙁
    I’m hoping that, if I win, a new pink potty might do the trick. She’s a girly girl and likes pink things.

    Ignore you mother in law/friends/relatives pressure. Wait until you and your child are really ready. It seems to be a bit of a competition to potty train and pressures from parents/in-laws can make you feel like you need to train before you as the parent actually feels is the right time.

    Patience is key, also having the potty in the room from a very young age, so that it isn’t a new or strange object. As soon as a baby can sit up unaided, there is no harm in placing them on a potty after feed for 5 minutes, this will get them used to sitting on the potty even if they don’t do anything on there. It prevents a fear building.
