[Ad- gifted products] Another Monday has passed, and we did our normal thing of playing a new card game down at our local Geek Retreat! Armed with some milkshakes, Amelia and I played Cat Days while Dann and Robin played Woof Days. These are a two player card games that are quite easy to learn and simple to play again and again! Both of the games are created by Farplace, an animal rescue, with the money raised from these cards going towards the care of various rescue animals. They also have a board game we previously reviewed.

Seeing the Winter Lights at Christmas at Blenheim Palace
We have gone to a lot of winter light trails this year, but even as the Christmas season has ended, there are still some open! We wanted to go out to a Christmas market for dinner and see a light trail, so we made our way to Blenheim Palace. Dann and I went on a date night there a few years back and really enjoyed it, so we figured it would be fun to take our children as they don’t care about the longer drives. Blenheim Palace has a few features, all with different ticket prices. The market itself is free, but you can pay to go on the light trail, go inside the Neverland themed-palace and to go ice skating. After talking it over with everyone, they declared they didn’t want to ice skate or go in the palace, so we went for the food and trail.

Playing with cats at Katzentempel
Dann and I go to Germany each and every year, specifically to Cologne, for Gamescom as apart of our day jobs. We’ve basically done everything we could possibly go or so we thought! This year, Dann surprised me by finding a new place; Katzentempel Koln, which is a vegan cat cafe, right in Cologne. I absolutely love cat cafes and have been to a few in London. You do not need to pre-book, so we went along in the afternoon during one of the days we were there.

Unicorn Scarf – Perfect for Cold Evenings
[Ad- gifted products] Robin is a lover of accessories. If something is cute, functional and fun, she likely wants it! When she saw the Unicorn Scarf from Wicked Uncle, she was all over it. We go out to Christmas All Wrapped Up each year, and Robin really wanted to do a little photoshoot there while picking out our Christmas tree. As it gets colder, having a scarf is such a fun idea, especially if the scarf is sort of like a plushie that you get to wear on your neck.

Visiting Christmas Markets in Birmingham
After going to Coventry Market with our kids, they asked about going to another Christmas market. London always feels so busy this time of year, so we decided to go back to the Frankfurt Christmas Market in Birmingham, which Dann and I remember as being one of the best, as we went last year on a double date. When we arrived in Birmingham, we actually walked through a smaller Cathedral Square Church Market, making our way to Frankfurt Christmas Market, which we returned back too.
