Seaside Cupcake Class with Sweet Designs by Jennie

Posted on July 29, 2025August 11, 2025 by Jupiter

It’s been another month, so Amelia and I excitedly went along to another cupcake class with Sweet Designs by Jennie, this time it was a new design; seaside cupcakes, perfect for the beautiful weather we had been having lately. Sweet Designs by Jennie hand-creates these designs based on what has inspired her, and as it’s seaside weather, she thought about the seaside. This class was primarily done with fondant work, and as usual, it’s on the smaller side with 6 people attending at once. We are regulars here, so we know quite a few of the others who attend, and this class had some great vibes!

Seeing Bats with Essex Bat Group Bat Walk at Parndon Wood Reserve

Posted on July 28, 2025July 25, 2025 by Jupiter

Now that it is summer, there are so many more events popping up! I actually started a website of things to do in Harlow to help keep track of everything. Parndon Wood Nature Reserve has been known to host a bunch of events throughout the year, but as ECCO no longer looks after the reserve, there seems to be less and less. I was delighted when I heard that Essex Bat Group was hosting a Bat Walk within the reserve, featuring a talk all about bats!

Kai has been the picker-of-dinners lately, to support his fitness journey. He’s been working on his calories and protein aim, which means he often is finding foods that he wants to try. So, a lot of this week is random things Kai has asked for, with a few others mixed in. There are a bunch of different proteins to experiment with as well.

French Food at Les Felibres

Posted on July 24, 2025August 7, 2025 by Jupiter

While in Paris for Pokemon Go Fest 2025, I wanted to arrange some sort of meal for all of our Harlow community who was coming. There were about 20 of us attending the event, with most of us free on the Friday evening, so that’s when I planned the meal for. Dann spent some time looking up areas, and though there were some fantastic Asian options, we wanted something everyone would find good, so he picked Les Felibres as they had fish n chips, burgers, and some duck!

We booked easily on line, with an email confirmation as our party was quite large, before being all ready for the day. Some of our party did arrive like half an hour early, but the restaurant let them right in and they got drinks to start along with some pretzels for the table, which was nice. Others, as it always is with a large group, came slightly late, so we had some staggered ordering and eating. Despite being like this, Les Felibres were kind and accommodating! There aren’t any English menus, but a few of the dishes are written in English next to it, and we all bumbled through it getting the gist of what we each wanted to order.

MoliCare – A Look at Period Panties

Posted on July 23, 2025July 23, 2025 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted product] This might be one of those posts that feels a lot like TMI, but at the same time, I feel so much of women’s lives are stigmatized and shushed away, so here I am. Personally, I have been on injection birth control since long before COVID, with a breif break during lockdown, before returning to the medication. The depo vera injection actually stops your period completely, so it’s one less thing you need to think about and deal with, and it takes a while for your body to go back to developing the hormones you had before, which didn’t happen during lockdown for me.
