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!

Slow Cooker Maple Glazed Ribs Recipe

This post contains affiliate links and I may receive commission if you visit a link and buy something. Purchasing via an affiliate link doesn’t cost you any extra, and I only recommend products and services I trust.

Today I am sharing with you my all time favourite slow cooker meal – Maple Glazed Ribs. This recipe takes pretty much all day in the slow cooker, and then a few minutes under the grill but it is just so worth it and it is without a doubt one of our favourite pork recipes.

Recipe: Slow Cooker Maple Glazed Ribs

Our best slow cooker ribs are a staple dinner in our family. I can put the crock pot on in the morning and at dinner time the crockpot ribs take just a few minutes until they’re ready to serve. We have these ribs with chips, salad and coleslaw – as you would in a restaurant – and it’s a great meal to enjoy all year round and such a wonderful comfort food.

How can I cook barbecue ribs in the slow cooker?

We love these slow cooker baby ribs served with the maple glaze. It’s just sweet enough and compliments the pork perfectly. But, many people enjoy ribs with a simple barbecue sauce. If that’s you – give these a go instead! But, in all seriousness, you can spoon a bottle of BBQ sauce over the ribs instead of the maple glaze and this recipe will work just as well – leaving you with beautiful fall off the bone tender barbecue ribs.

But, BBQ ribs are something we have when eating out. At home it’s all about maple glazed ribs and this is one of the main dishes our family ask for again and again. It’s such an easy slow cooker recipe and the easiest way to cook ribs too. I’m sure you could cook them in an Instant Pot too although I haven’t tried that yet – I’ll report back on how Instant Pot ribs turn out when we make them for the first time. One thing’s for sure, whether you use a slow cooker or Instant Pot this is definitely easier than any oven recipes we’ve tried and the meat just falls off the bones.

    I don’t eat meat but I keep reading blog posts with amazing slow cooker recipes and realising that I am totally missing out by not owning a slow cooker. I really need to sort that out.
