Creating a fun, kid-friendly backyard

[Ad- gifted products] We have had quite a saga with our backyard. In our previous rental house, we wanted to level the backyard to add a trampoline, and when we offered to pay the price to get it leveled, our landlord let us know they were selling our house. We did end up moving and finding a new house we loved, but we didn’t touch the backyard at first, as it felt like some sort of cursed area. This year, we have spent a lot of time creating the perfect backyard and it’s finally done! As a parent, I always want to balance how I want things to look and how fun they are for our children to experience, so we divided our backyard.

Midweek Meal Inspo; Katsu Chicken Curry, Tofu Rice Bowls, Lasagna Soup and More.

This week, we had a bit of a rice theme going on, primarily because my father-in-law dropped off a huge bag of rice and it doesn’t fit in our kitchen, so it’s been on the side and I have been looking at it. We also focused a bit more on quick meals, as it’s the summer holiday and we have a lot of plans that take us out of the house and enjoying our time together. These meals are all pretty quick and easy!

Exploring the Horrible Histories: Up in the Air Adventure event

There is a new Horrible Histories event, so naturally we had to ask Kai if he wanted to go! With him being a teenager now, I am always surprised when he is willing and even excited to go to an event, and Horrible Histories has always been one he really likes. The Horrible Histories: Up in the Air Adventure was very different from previous performances that they have put on, as this wasn’t a play and instead is an event around the Royal Airforce Museum with several sections of activities that children can take part in.

[Ad- gifted experience] Lee Valley have a bunch of different campsites all around our area! These campsites offer a variety of different ways to camp from pitching tents, to bringing your own caravan, to staying in cabins, cocoons or mini-homes on the property.

This little overnight getaway was one Dann and I booth took together, as a cocoon is a perfect place for two people to spend the night.
