Exploring Enlightened at Markshall Estate

Exploring Enlightened at Markshall Estate

Posted on by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted experience] Last year, Dann took Robin, Kai and Amelia to Markshall Estate for Enlightened while I was away in Spain for a work trip. This year, however, I was able to come along with them and they got to show me all of the lights and areas that they enjoyed about this light walk. Enlightened has a few different light trails in Essex and beyond, of which we have gone to all of them over the years! Hyland Estate was our first ever light trail, so we do love all of the different areas that Enlightened has to offer, as they feel like classics and must haves in a light walk.

Chocolate Mint Cookies Recipe

Chocolate Mint Cookies Recipe

Posted on by Jupiter

[Ad – Gifted Products] I feel like this time of year is when everyone is baking! One of the things my family has always done is cookie trays, which are gifted to everyone. Following the same sort of spirit, I create smaller cookie boxes for my in-laws, neighbours and Pokemon Go community. Last year I shared our Chewy Lemon Cookies Recipe, which is still a big favorite, and previously I shared our Hazelnut Melting Moments Cookie recipe as well. This year, I made some chocolate mint cookies with Organic Cocoa Powder from Food Thoughts. This cocoa powder is 100% natural, without any added sugar, making it perfect for baking as you do not need to worry about adjusting the sugar level.

[Ad- gifted experience] We do get along to a lot of pantomimes during the holiday season, but Maddie Moate’s Very Curious Christmas at the Garrick Theatre is a Christmas-themed play that doesn’t have any aspect of panto in it – an entertaining break from the traditional! This play is for a younger audience, primarily engaging people Robin’s page and younger. With that said, myself, Amelia and even Kai were interested in a few of the tricks and experiments that were on display.

Articulate! For Kids - Word Guessing Game

Articulate! For Kids – Word Guessing Game

Posted on by Jupiter

[Ad – Gifted Products] Every other Monday we play a board game at Geek Retreat and this time the board game was Articulate! For Kids, which aims to be a fast talking card game where you need to roll dice, describe words, and guess what words are being described to you. The timer is short, the cards are long, and there is a die that you need to roll so that you can figure out exactly what word on your card you are meant to be describing.

Snow White at South Mill Arts Centre

Snow White at South Mill Arts Centre

[Ad- gifted experience] As you may have guessed, it’s Panto season in England, and we have gone to a number of pantos this year! Last year, we saw a performance of Snow White at Fairfield Halls Theatre and previously we have been to the South Mill Arts Centre to see a One Many play, so we were really excited to get along for another Christmas classic. This panto actually leaned heavily on the musical side of things, which was a neat twist on the performance.
