Birth Flower Necklaces from Callie

Birth Flower Necklaces from Callie

Posted on by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted product] Birthstones are something I have always been aware of. As a child, my grandmother had a necklace that had little people on it, each one with a birthstone that represented that grandchild. She added another charm every time I got a new cousin, growing the collection of little people as her family grew. I’ve been aware of my birthstone, but had not heard of birth flowers before! It turns out, every month has it’s own birth flower to go with it’s birthstone. Callie is a website full of personalized gifting items, which had a few necklaces to choose from that show off birth flowers!

Fun, Unique Play with the ZipString

Fun, Unique Play with the ZipString

Posted on by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted product] We are big fans of new toys in our household, especially Robin! The ZipString is the latest in new types of toys, and is one that for me, it’s a little hard to explain. At face value, this looks like a bit of string and a plastic handle, but it’s actually a fantastic, very fun toy that sort of looks like a magic trick or like something that is defining gravity. These little strings go inside the plastic handle, which vibrates and moves the string, making them float in the air!

Midweek, we decided to treat ourselves and head over to Luton to try out the new Gao Express location, which is a Halal Chinese takeaway (with limited seating inside) that has a bunch of fantastic dishes to choose from.

[Ad- gifted product] Every other Monday, after school has ended, you can find us at our local Geek Retreat playing a board game! This week’s game of choice is Keys to the Castle – a fun, strategy tile-based game where you are looking to get from your side of the castle to the opposite side, without any of the other players messing with you too much. The game itself feels quick to set up and understand, and provides for a great length to keep everyone focused and busy!

Project 365 - October

Project 365 – October

Posted on by Jupiter

October started off at the end of our Amsterdam adventure! I then further travelled to Finland and Spain, which was mainly for work. October always feels like such a big change in the world, as everything physically looks so different. I spent a lot of the month celebrating Halloween, watching the leaves change color, and enjoying my family. We went to a bunch of pumpkin patches, celebrated Amelia turning 14, and had a lot of friends over.
