Chocolate Mint Cookies Recipe

[Ad – Gifted Products] I feel like this time of year is when everyone is baking! One of the things my family has always done is cookie trays, which are gifted to everyone. Following the same sort of spirit, I create smaller cookie boxes for my in-laws, neighbours and Pokemon Go community. Last year I shared our Chewy Lemon Cookies Recipe, which is still a big favorite, and previously I shared our Hazelnut Melting Moments Cookie recipe as well. This year, I made some chocolate mint cookies with Organic Cocoa Powder from Food Thoughts. This cocoa powder is 100% natural, without any added sugar, making it perfect for baking as you do not need to worry about adjusting the sugar level.

Snow White at South Mill Arts Centre

[Ad- gifted experience] As you may have guessed, it’s Panto season in England, and we have gone to a number of pantos this year! Last year, we saw a performance of Snow White at Fairfield Halls Theatre and previously we have been to the South Mill Arts Centre to see a One Many play, so we were really excited to get along for another Christmas classic. This panto actually leaned heavily on the musical side of things, which was a neat twist on the performance.

Zzzopa Mini Ball – Bouncy and Spinny!

[Ad- gifted product] It’s toy season, so we’ve been checking out a bunch of fun toys that can make a great gift for younger ones. This time, Robin’s been playing with the Zzzopa Mini Ball, which comes in a few different colors. We went with pink, which is such a cute color and perfect for Robin, who is a bit of a girly girl. This ball isn’t just a throwing ball, it’s one that is solid feeling, with two harder plastic bits at the top and bottom, making it into a spinning fidget that you can play with, without throwing it around.
