Highland Cows Cupcake Class with Sweet Designs by Jennie

Every month, Amelia and I go to a little cupcake decorating class, which is ran by Sweet Designs by Jennie! These classes follow different themes, many of which are new, and the latest (and current most popular one) is Highland Cows. Amelia and I were very excited by this new theme, as we both love sculpting in fondant and the cute designs were very interesting. We go together as a mother-daughter activity, which is so much fun, and we always end up with a bunch of lovely cakes to bring back home to the rest of our family to enjoy.

Dinner at The Woodland Kitchen and Bar

I went to King’s Lynn for a work event, and as we were there for an entire day, we decided to go to The Woodland Kitchen and Bar for a large, early dinner before my talk. This is actually a restaurant that’s on-site for a holiday location, but we didn’t know that when we checked Google Maps to see nearby places that Google thought I would like. Dann and I always order too much, but we especially do when everything starts coming out looking and feeling so delicious. Our experience at The Woodland Kitchen and Bar was fantastic and we did, in fact, order too much!

Walking Around the Beautiful Flowers at De Hortus

Dann and I love walking around flower gardens, taking pictures of the different flowers and just hanging out with each other. Botanical gardens feel like such a nice way to slow down, so one afternoon while in Amsterdam, we figured we’d head over to De Hortus, which we saw on our canal tour. This huge botanical garden has a large outdoor area, which is where we started. There are a few different trails and maps for different walks, all featured just inside the entrance. There is also a meeting point for guided tours, which happen during specific events.

Brick Like This! – Fast building card game

[Ad- gifted product] We play a board game every other week at our local Geek Retreat, as a way to unwind after a busy Monday back to school. This time, we tried out Brick Like This! which is all about quickly talking and building with LEGO. It’s a quick action party game that does feel like a lot of fun, though it can be tricky for younger ones, so you might want to consider playing with your teens and tweens!

My Little Miracle Bedtime Range – Gentle and Calming

[Ad- gifted product] My Little Miracle has a fantastic range in bath and body products for little ones, and they’ve recently released a Bedtime range, that includes a body lotion, body oil and bubble bath. Though we do not have a toddler in our house anymore, we figured it would be fine to have a look at some of the products with Robin, who still very much enjoys bath time and could always use a new tool to help her wind down on a weekend.

All of this range has lavender and chamomile scents, though they are very light and clean smelling. It’s aim is to sooth and make bedtime easier, through calming scents and feelings. I found all of these new products to have gentle scents and be fantastic on the skin, which is exactly what you want in these types of products. They are also all dermatologically tested and My Little Miracle is an award-winning brand.
