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!

Starting off the year the right way with the TomTom Touch Fitness Tracker Review

I’ve started off this year trying to get into a new health and fitness regime. It’s a good time to make steps to a healthier lifestyle and to help me on my way I have been using the TomTom Touch fitness tracker.

Starting off the year the right way with the TomTom Touch

The TomTom Touch is really nice and streamlined compared to other bulkier activity trackers I’ve used in the past. It also comes in a range of colours and two strap sizes making it perfect for both men and women. I went for the smaller strap and it’s adjustable and really comfortable to wear.

I found the TomTom Touch really simple to set up, popping the main part of the tracker from the strap and plugging it into my computer via the Micro USB lead which comes with it. You then download the TomTom Connect software and charge the TomTom Touch and then you are ready to go.

The Tom Tom Touch works in conjunction with the TomTom Sports app, allowing you to sync the tracker with the app to monitor every aspect of your fitness through the app. The tracker records your steps, your body fat/muscle composition, your heart rate, calories burned and sleep time. It also has a sports mode to record walks, runs and gym sessions.

Over the last few weeks I’ve loved wearing the TomTom Touch and it has been comfortable to wear both day and night. It’s also given the most accurate readings of any tracker that I’ve used previously. It records my steps whether I am walking, running or going up and downstairs and isn’t affected by pushing a pushchair or inflated when I’m in the car. It does seem to be incredibly accurate.

The TomTom Touch body composition fitness tracker has a battery life of five days which is longer than other activity trackers I have tried. I can charge it once or twice a week during my natural periods of inactivity and it has fitted well into my lifestyle. It’s even waterproof to a degree – and I can wear it in the shower or whilst washing up without any problems although it’s not suitable for in the bath or when swimming.

The TomTom Sports app records all the information from the tracker, showing how many steps I have done over the day and week as well as being able to scroll back over longer periods to look at each individual day. I’m also able to set goals for steps, weight and sports/activity and see how I’m doing against the goals. I have set a weight goal and can see how I am doing against that goal each time I sync the tracker with the app and update my weight.

The tracker also monitors my sleep to see not just how much sleep I am getting but also the quality of my sleep and this is all logged on the TomTom Sports app too. The TomTom Touch is comfortable to wear at night too and I haven’t had a problem sleeping with it on.

The touch screen display is simple to use by swiping through the screens and using the button to select relevant options. It works as a watch in the standard mode and shows a dial with how many steps you have completed as a quick visual tool. You can then slide to see the actual number of steps or other options like setting the sports mode or body fat composition.

When using the sports mode you activate and then end the sports session. During this time the tracker has a heart rate monitor and records how long you are exercising for and how many calories you have burned. It’s a great way to keep track of your workouts and how they compare to each other and clearly seeing progress over a longer term.

One aspect I wasn’t able to make work was the body fat composition. You have to stand with your arms away from your sides and hold your finger on the Touch button for 5-10 seconds however, I was never able to get a reading from this although I tried repeatedly.

Starting off the year the right way with the TomTom Touch

The TomTom Touch is a really good activity tracker for pretty much any lifestyle. It’s comfortable to wear, has a good battery life and records everything I need it to. It’s a great tool to monitor your activity but also to spur you on to move more – aiming for that 10,000 steps a day average. It would be a great investment for anyone wanting to invest in a healthier lifestyle.

The TomTom Touch has an RRP of £129.99

    I really like this too, it’s the sort of thing you’d wear even if it didn’t do all those fab things because it looks really good. Shame the body fat composition didn’t work for you. I love the blue strap.
