Our tickets for Lotherton Hall and Leeds Industrial Museum were provided in exchange for coverage. All words are my own honest opinion. Any other items mentioned I fully paid for. No other exchange of goods or payment has occurred.

February half term seems to have gone in a blink and preparations now seem to be underway for Easter. The supermarkets certainly seem to think so with the number of chocolate goodies on the shelves. Our half term was one packed full of adventures.

In fact they loved it so much they asked when we could go and watch the show again! It is the second time I have seen it and I loved it as much this time around. 3 of the Queens were the same but 3 new ones gave it a slightly different feel. Still amazing to see.

He ran around the museum hunting for clues, wanting to complete the trail before his sisters did. He was super pleased with himself for reading the clues and writing down the answers. 

Although we have visited the museum before each time we go something new seems to catch our attention and there are always new exhibits to see

I thought the kids would have liked to have done the printing activity that was taking place or even watched a film in the cinema on the site, instead it would appear Little Man had other plans. He had to complete the trail!

I love how involved he got with reading the clues and finding them. Grandma even took part alongside him.

The views from the museum are amazing and I love spending time looking out over the canal. I had to get the children to stand in front just so I could take a photo.

This knitted piece was also something I could have looked at for hours. It really caught my attention as there are so many elements involved.

With the trail now complete and all clues found, we decided to make the most of our day and the nice weather with a walk up the canal. 

Our next adventure saw us visit Lotherton Hall. One of our favourite places to visit especially at Christmas. At Christmas we don't usually have time to visit the penguins so we always make sure we stop there first to say hello.

It was near to Valentines when we visited so Lotherton Hall had a Love Birds trail and you could certainly feel the love in the air. 

The main house showed the family of Lotherton Hall, the love story if you like.

Whilst in the house we looked for all the love birds hiding in various places. It was so different without all the Christmas trees. The children loved exploring all the different rooms and looking for the birds.

Once we had finished exploring the house we ventured back outside to visit the other birds of Lotherton Hall, and of course we completed the Love Bird trail whilst we were there.

We had a fabulous day out even ending the day with some flamingo posing!

 The Christmas Experience is something we look forward to every year as a family. It has been part of our tradition of Christmas for quite some time now, all three children ask about it. The invite for the press day arrived and I think I might have been more excited than the kids, I could not wait to tell them.

We have visited Lotherton for many years for their Christmas experience and each year the experience seems to get better, building on previous years. The wishing tree which I think we experienced for the first time last year was slightly different and I think the elf who leads it really makes the experience here for you. Ours was fantastic and brought the excitement levels higher! 

In all honesty I have never given much thought into buying a pillow before. I usually just picked out whatever was on offer at my local supermarket. Never really thinking about the type of pillow or even how this would contribute to the quality of sleep. That was until recently when I injured my back and couldn't get comfortable on the pillow I had, as I had to change the way I was sleeping. 

I began looking into the different types of pillows to find one to help with my injuries and give me a good nights sleep. This was when I discovered The Fine Bedding Company. The Fine Bedding Company are a fourth-generation UK-based company with their own 100% zero waste eco-factory. They put sustainability and comfort as a top priority.

The Fine Bedding Company website is really simple and easy to navigate with a wide choice of pillows to suit all budgets. There is a convenient filter to find your perfect pillow depending on your sleep position. After reading some of the recommendations for me I was kindly sent a Bronze Goose Down Surround Pillow to try.

Bronze Goose Down Surround Pillow was perfect for me with my injured back. The injury meant I found it most comfortable to sleep on my front. The Bronze Goose Down Surround Pillow has natural cushioning and support as well as feeling soft and luxurious. I found I could sleep comfortably with the injury thanks to the support from the pillow. 

I like to think that due to finally being able to get a good night sleep my injury started to improve. I shall certainly be considering my choice of pillow more carefully in the future.

 As regular followers will know I am a very active person. My day job however is very desk based and I often work very long hours. I am balancing not only work, but the needs of my children who all have very active social lives after school and my training schedule. More often than not the thing that has to give is my training. Some days it is just physically impossible to fit it in and others I am just simply too tired.

The Cycle desk from Flexispot is an incredibly convenient solution to fitting in exercise whilst working. A way for me to multi task whilst carrying out my day job. In fact whilst I type this blog post I am currently on the Flexispot.

The Flexispot comes in two boxes. One contains the main unit and the other the desk top. Setup is incredibly simple and can be done by one person in around 10 minutes. The instructions were simple to follow and I had to Flexispot assembled in no time at all. The Flexispot requires 2 AA batteries which are located under the cup holder.

The FlexiSpot Spring Sale currently has UP TO 30% OFF between 1st Mar. to 31st Mar.
