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.

 I feel so incredibly lucky to have been brought up with some strong female figures. Up until recently I had two amazing Grandmas. Both very different but both equally as strong and independent. I learnt so much from them and I miss them both every day. My Mum is my hero. I wouldn't have the strength and courage to do half the things I do without her [and my Dad] behind me. She is my absolute rock.

I appreciate how lucky I am and have been to have these wonderful women in my life, and know that many others are not in the same fortunate position. Mothers Day is fast approaching. I take flowers to the graves of those who have been loved and lost. Here I sit and reflect on memories we shared together. For my Mum I like to give her photo gifts.

A photo for me invokes a memory, a story, a special time and place. Photos capture so much more than what you see. This is one of my favourite ever photos of my son

 We were gifted free entry to Lap of Lights, I  have not been asked to write about our visit. All words are my own opinion. 

I was incredibly excited to receive an email inviting my children and I to Silverstone and the lap of lights. It has been a dream of mine for many years to visit Silverstone and more so to drive on the track. The Friday before our visit we had very heavy snow and I was getting nervous we might not be able to make it. Luckily the snow held long enough, but it did take us an extra 2 hours to arrive.

The kids began looking for Father Christmas in each of the different zones. They were treated to an extravaganza of lights and light shows. Each zone in the track had a different theme to it and in each area there was a Father Christmas hiding. There was lots of laughter and squeals of delight from the kids as we drove around the track

After our lap of lights we headed to the lodge to explore more of the indoor activities and to have some dinner.

We had a hot chocolate and something to eat before heading to the pit lane for ice skating.
