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!

Boots Non-Contact Thermometer Review

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

I’m always keen to try new baby products. When Boots got in contact and offered us the chance to review a selection of their Baby Range I was interested to see what would arrive.

What were our first impressions of the Boots Non-Contact Thermometer?

We’ve been sent a Boots Pharmaceuticals Non-Contact Thermometer as well as a variety of Boots baby toiletries. This included Baby Bath, Dreamtime Bath, Baby Lotion, Baby Shampoo, Baby Head To Toe Wash, Baby Oil and Nappy Cream.

We started using the toiletries straight away and the review for those will follow shortly. I knew that the Non-Contact Thermometer would be getting some serious use with our current teething spells

The Boots Non-Contact Thermometer looked great. Thermometers aren’t the sort of thing I can get excited about but I have never seen a ‘Non-Contact’ Thermometer before. The thermometer measures a person’s body temperature without touching them and regardless of their age. This isn’t aimed just at children and babies but can be used by the whole family.

Review: Boots Non-Contact Thermometer

With Non Contact thermometers you can take the person’s temperature hygienically, without having to wake or disturb them which is great for checking children’s temperatures quickly whilst they’re sleeping. It can also be used to test the temperature of a room, food, bath water and bottled milk.

What features does the Thermometer have?

The Boots Non-Contact Thermometer features a backlit LCD screen which is colour coded. It shows a green light for a normal temperature and red for a high temperature or fever. The thermometer also automatically stores the last 32 readings taken. This means you can keep track of any temperature changes easily without having to remember what the last temperature was.

Because the thermometer doesn’t need to touch anything to take a reading there is no need to purchase additional probe covers. The thermometer has an automatic shut-off feature, prolonging the battery life. Both of which will be great for long term money saving.

How did we find the Boots Thermometer?

We found the Boots Non-Contact Thermometer easy to use by pointing it at LP and LM’s forehead and pressing the button. The readings were accurate. They had the added benefit of being able to also take temperatures of bath water and room temperature. These features aren’t something I’d probably use too often.

Review: Boots Non-Contact Thermometer

Being able to take a child’s temperature without waking them is a huge benefit to this thermometer. This is something that would definitely make me choose this thermometer over others on the market as a family with kids.

It also means that you don’t have to fight with a child to get a thermometer in their ear, under their arm or in their mouth and keep it there for a certain amount of time. This really is a great product.

Were there any issues with the Boots Non-Contact Thermometer?

The only slight problem we find was when we try to take the children’s temperatures when they are awake. They are overly interested in the thermometer and won’t let us get a temperature reading with it. LP just wanted to play with it herself. This meant that taking temperatures needed to involve distraction methods!

Having said that, taking temperatures when LP was watching TV or when either child was asleep was straightforward and easy. This would make the forehead thermometer a great health gift for a new mum or a baby shower gift during pregnancy and it’s such a great alternative to a traditional ear thermometer.

The thermometer comes in a handy storage bag, complete with batteries and has an RRP of £39.99 at Boots Pharmaceuticals shop which is fantastic value.
