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!

The New Playmobil Dinos Range

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

LP and Little Man have loved Playmobil since they were toddlers. Now, 7 and 9 their love has only grown as the years have passed. They love building their own Playmobil sets and acting out adventures with them afterwards. You could imagine their excitement when the new Playmobil Dinos range arrived for them to test out.

The New Playmobil Dinos Range

The Playmobil Dinos range is exclusive to Argos and features three different sets that can all be used alongside each other to create a whole world of dinosaur related play.

The children first built the smaller sets. The Playmobil Motorbike with Raptor Toy Set was great fun to build. It includes a Playmobil explorer figure with helmet, gloves, backpack and sword, a motorbike for the explorer to ride on and a raptor figure.

The motorbike features a kick stand for the bike to stand upright and despite this being a fairly small Playmobil set it would be great fun on it’s own, acting out chase scenes with the explorer following or being chased by the raptor.

The next set was the Playmobil Dinos Enemy Quad with Triceratops playset. This is a more substantial playset that took longer to build and even included a couple of stickers to add to the set as well.

The set includes an off-road vehicle that would be fantastic for outdoor adventures. It includes a usable net gun and the vehicle roof comes off to allow Playmobil figures to get in and out of it.

The set also comes with a cage with an innovative trap door and two triceratops figures. The children loved the cage and dinosaurs immediately, working out that the baby triceratops could spring the trap and end up stuck in the cage with the big triceratops soon coming to the rescue!

Little Man loved firing the net gun, working on his aim and trying to get it to land perfectly on the dinosaurs. This is such a great addition to the set and allowed for so much imaginative play. Some days the children would explore quietly, observing the dinosaurs and on others they would catch the dinosaurs to take a closer look at them!

The final part of our delivery was the Playmobil Dinos Hidden Temple with T-Rex playset. This set really sets the scene for a courageous expedition through a pre-historic period and works fantastically alongside the other play sets.

The temple is a huge three story set with so much to explore, find and play with. It includes a whole team of explorers as well as a huge T-Rex with moveable arms which can be defeated with lasers!

The whole set has so many accessories like a goods lift, a real UV torch, a ladder, a winch, a rotating laser gun with LED light and a plant with closed leaves which opens to reveal a hidden mushroom.

So many parts of the set include UV-active plastic – crystals, jungle plants and a test tube – which can be lit up in the dark with the torch. The children absolutely loved this and showed us with such excitement every time they found a new UV activated part.

LP and Little Man love the whole Playmobil Dinos range and love that it can all be played with together. Having said that, each part has enough playability on it’s own to be enjoyed as a standalone set.

Anything from the Playmobil Dinos range would be a great purchase for any child who loves to use their imagination, any child who loves to construct things and anyone who loves dinosaurs. It’s such a great range and one LP and Little Man haven’t stopped playing with since it arrived.

You can see the full Playmobil Dinos range over on the Argos website.
