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!

La Redoute Wool Coat by Laura Clement Review

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

I have been looking everywhere for a winter coat. The last two winters I spent pregnant and nothing fitted me, I lived in huge jumpers or coats that are now far too big and ever since the weather turned colder I’ve been looking for a coat to see me through not only this winter but the next few winters too.

La Redoute came to my rescue when the offered me the chance to review a piece from their New Season collections and I chose a Mid-Length Wool Mix Coat by Laura Clement. The coat was from the Laura Clement Collection and looked like it ticked every one of my imaginary boxes – warm, practical, ‘grown up’, pockets and longer than my bum!

What is the La Redoute Wool Coat by Laura Clement like?

The coat has a large collar that can be left open, partially fastened or fully fastened depending on your preference and circumstances. I preferred to have the coat fastened but the collar open although on colder or windy days having the option to fasten the collar fully would be great – anything to add an extra level of warmth when out and about!

The Wool-Mix Coat is a great fit – I’m a size 12/14 and am usually worried that size 12 clothing of any kind may not fit over my bum – a hazard any pear shaped woman will be familiar with. The cut of the coat means that it fits well as it’s nipped in slightly at the waist and flares out gradually over my bum and hips. It is a lovely fit!

The material of the coat is really nice and soft being 55% wool. It’s also fully lined and feels really thick and good quality. The coat has two pockets which are a good size and is double breasted with fully functional buttons and a press stud fastening on the collar.

I’ve worn this coat a lot over the last few weeks and love it! It fits me well, looks good and keeps me warm. I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on La Redoute’s New Arrivals in future!

    That looks like a really good quality, warm coat. I think I may check out La Redoute when looking for something like that.
