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!

Brio World Airport with Control Tower Review

Little Man absolutely loves trains and so we are huge fans of Brio in our house – but their range includes so much more than just trains and track. Brio World has literally a whole world of play for children of any age and Little Man was lucky enough to be sent their Brio Airport with Control Tower to review.

Review: Brio World Airport with Control Tower

The Brio Airport with Control Tower includes the main control tower, an aeroplane, two characters, luggage and a warning light – that even lights up. Little Man immediately loved the aeroplane and was excited to act out his own airport adventures with it.

Review: Brio World Airport with Control Tower

The whole play set is well made, partly from wood and mostly from plastic. It’s a set that is built to last – as we’ve come to expect with Brio products – and it’s nicely durable, wipe clean and perfect for little hands to play with.

Review: Brio World Airport with Control Tower

The airport incorporates a luggage handling system with a working lift and slide. Little Man loved this part and really enjoyed sending suitcases up in the lift and then down to slide to be transported onto the plane.

The set comes with two characters – a baggage handler and a pilot – who bend to sit and have moveable arms too. There’s also a warning light to make sure everyone knows when the plane is coming in to land which turns off by itself.

Review: Brio World Airport with Control Tower

The plane opens up to show three spaces inside – for people or luggage – and is a great size for flying around the room. Little Man has already played out so many holiday games using the airport, control tower and aeroplane and I am sure there are many more role play adventures to come.

Little Man loves the Airport with Control Tower and will happily play with it by itself however, he also loves to make a huge train track with the airport as the central focus, making the set a great expansion for any train fan. The train stops right outside the airport, making it so true to life – a great addition to any city with great transport links.

The Brio Airport with Control Tower is a fantastic play set that would be a great addition to any wooden train collection but also works perfectly as a standalone toy too. It’s well made and built to last – a toy that really will last years and can be passed down to future generations. It’s a really lovely addition to the Brio World range.

The Brio Airport with Control Tower has an RRP of £59.99
