Birdy Call – A Loud Bird Calling Card Game

[Ad – Gifted Products] Every other Monday, Dann, Amelia, Robin and I get together to play a board game and have some shakes at our local Geek Retreat. I’ve never before been slightly conscious of our board games, until Birdy Call. This is a card game where you will be making some noise, literally, in the form of bird calls! It’s silly, it’s interesting, and it’s quite whacky. I can see it being extremely fun after a couple of drinks with an older crowd too.

All You Can Eat Sushi at MOJO Japanese Kitchen

When looking for a place to eat in another country, we often go towards Asian food. This is because we both really love this type of food! While on a canal tour, the tour guide recommended two Japanese places, one of which being MOJO Japanese Kitchen, so we had to go. This sushi place was right along the canal, which had beautiful views especially as the sun set. There were outer tables, which had robot waiters coming to deliver food, but we were sat in the very centre by a beautiful blossom tree.

Bubble Jelly – Jelly Full of Popping Pearls

[Ad- gifted product] We have tried a few different lunchbox jellies previously, and have always had fun eating them! As a 90s kid, I feel like fruit in jelly and jelly pots are just a thing we always had. However, as someone who has grown up liking boba tea and popping pearls, I was surprised that they’ve combined the two. Bubble Jelly, a new product by Angel Delight, has brought a new twist to an average jelly.

Looking Over the City at A’Dam Lookout

When we were at the train station in Amsterdam, hanging out just outside the Amsterdam Central airport, I saw the giant swings on top of a building. Casually, I said to Dann “do you think that is swings?” and he said “oh yes. I would never do that” but I knew, I would totally do that. I then made it my mission to do that. The A’Dam Lookout is a very touristy, very interesting venue with beautiful views of the main city, which you can book tickets to view during the daytime, sunset, or evening. We booked going in one of the evenings, right after sunset, which was fantastic.

Project 365 – December

December came so quickly this year! It’s been a month of reflection, travel, lots of family time, and many, many seasonal events. We are a busy family, and I think I realized just how busy we are compared to others with this project. 2025 has been the best year of my life and I am so excited to see what 2026 has in store. Kai, Amelia and Robin have all grown so much in this year and all of them have made me so proud to be their parent. Onto 2026.

This post is a part of Project 365 where a bunch of bloggers share a picture and a bit about each day of the year. Some share weekly, some monthly like me. You can check out other bloggers at the bottom of this post.
