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!

Start-rite Princess Elza School Shoes Review

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

Start-rite have always been one of my go-to brands when it comes to shoes for the children. So many local shoe shops stock Start-rite shoes, as well as having their online store too it makes them really accessible. Recently, Start-rite sent LP some school shoes for the new term – Princess Elza ones that she picked out herself.

Review: Start-rite Princess Elza School Shoes

LP loved the shoes immediately. What girl wouldn’t?! They are her first patent shoes as I’ve never purchased patent ones before in fear of them scuffing but Start-rite patent shoes are actually scruff resistant, opening up a whole new world of patent shoes to LP.

The Princess Elza shoes have velcro fastening and gorgeous patent bows on the straps as well as lovely detailing on the toes. They also come with charms to add to the straps, easily LP’s favourite thing about the shoes.

Review: Start-rite Princess Elza School Shoes

The charms have two designs, crowns and hearts, and are threaded easily onto the straps. They give the shoes a little something extra and LP loves her little bit of sparkle on her new school shoes.

Review: Start-rite Princess Elza School Shoes

When buying shoes for LP, especially school shoes, I want ones that will be hard wearing, that will stand up to lots of playing, climbing and walking but ones that will be comfortable, that she’ll be happy to wear all day and ones that she can get on and off easily by herself.

Review: Start-rite Princess Elza School Shoes

The Start-rite Princess Elza shoes tick all the boxes. They’re comfortable for LP, are yet to show any signs of wear – although, admittedly, she has only been wearing them around the house – and she can get them on and off with no issues at all.

More than that, though, LP adores these shoes. I think the patent finish that she can see her face in, the charms and the pretty shoe box that they arrived in have ticked all of LP’s boxes too. But, if you’re not keen on a patent finish the Princess Elza shoes also come in a typical leather finish too and there are also lots of other Start-rite school shoe styles to choose from.

Review: Start-rite Princess Elza School Shoes

When it comes to quality, you really cannot beat Start-rite and I know that LP will be wearing these shoes until they no longer fit – and she now cannot wait for September and the start of the new school year.

The Start-rite Princess Elza shoes have an RRP of £45.00
