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!

SmartGames Trucky 3 Review

Little Man and LP love playing games but with LP at school and Little Man at preschool it’s nice to find things that they can play independently whilst their sibling isn’t there to play with them.

Review: SmartGames Trucky 3

SmartGames sent us Trucky 3 and we all loved it immediately. The cute trucks and brightly coloured blocks made it one of the most appealing games we’ve seen in a long time.

Review: SmartGames Trucky 3

With Trucky 3 there’s a book of challenges. On each page you are given a truck and different coloured blocks and you need to make the blocks fit in the truck but with the top flat, so it has a nice even load.

Review: SmartGames Trucky 3

The children loved trying to fit the blocks in the trucks and the fact the blocks could go in any number of ways really made them think. They found some of the challenges easier than others and even Dave and I had a go too – it’s not as easy as it looks!

Review: SmartGames Trucky 3

The one thing that confused the children slightly was that in some challenges empty gaps were left in the trucks – they would have preferred them being full up but when we explained the only rule was that the top had to be flat they understood it a lot better.

Review: SmartGames Trucky 3

Trucky 3 is a great game and although technically one player the children loved helping each other with it and I can imagine it being a great game to play around the dinner table after a meal or after dinner at Christmas with different generations having a try.

Review: SmartGames Trucky 3

We’ve loved playing Trucky 3 and I know it will be a game we get out constantly going forward. It helps the children think differently and definitely gets their brains working – plus, the trucks are cute too!

Trucky 3 has an RRP of £22.99

    It really made me smile when you mentioned playing with this round the table after Christmas dinner because I could immediately picture doing just that with my family! It looks really fun, I think Rhys would love it, he’s much better at this sort of puzzle than me, haha! x

    I always loved games like this as a child, where you have to slot things together. I have quite a logical mind! I’ve not seen anything like it for the girls, this would be perfect for Alice as I think she is following in my footsteps X

    Ah this looks like a brilliant one! We had the car one which is quite similar actually. We’ve got on so well with ours that we might well invest in some more for Christmas.
