Whirly Derby is a unique marble-racing game

Posted on February 3, 2026February 11, 2026 by Jupiter

[Ad – Gifted Product] Every other Monday, we play a board game at our local Geek Retreat and have a few shapes, as a way to kick off the week. This time, we played Whirly Derby with Robin, Dann, Amelia, myself, and Amelia’s friend who joined us for the afternoon. Whirly Derby is a very unique looking board game, being primarily made of metal and with rolling marbles made of glass throughout it. Setting up the board game is easy, as you sort of fold out a little cardboard base, plug the metal topper on it, and then add in the triangle ending bit, that the marbles come out of.

Project 365 – January 2026

Posted on February 2, 2026February 4, 2026 by Jupiter

I wasn’t sure if I was going to do this again this year! It was such a fun project, but at the same time, I got a little redundant with writing up my day each day. I also feel like we do a ton, and this really highlighted how much we do pack into our lives. I absolutely love having a packed life with so many adventures – Robin calls us an Adventure Family, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. In the end, I wanted to continue on and do another year, though I do have a feeling (and know for a fact) that this year is going to be a bit different to last, with so many fantastic plans in store. There is just so much going on, but I do love sharing our day to day in these sort of diary entries, each month. At the bottom of this post you can check out some fantastic bloggers who are also taking on this challenge, though some post weekly or even daily!

What Lawn Care Professionals in Livingston Evaluate Before Starting Service

Posted on February 1, 2026February 16, 2026 by Jupiter

A healthy lawn never happens by accident. Behind every consistent stretch of green sits careful review, planning, and skilled judgment. Lawn professionals in Livingston approach each property as a distinct space rather than a standard task. Soil, grass type, climate patterns, and past care habits all shape the final plan. This early review sets realistic expectations and prevents costly mistakes later. Clear evaluation at the outset helps ensure that future treatments align with the actual needs of the yard rather than assumptions.

Early conversations often reveal why Livingston lawn care services place a strong value on detailed inspections. These reviews provide clarity on lawn condition, surface challenges, and long-term care goals before any equipment touches the ground. The result feels less like guesswork and more like a thoughtful process designed to protect the property.

Solving Blackbeard’s Treasure at Escape Hunt Lakeside

Posted on January 30, 2026January 30, 2026 by Jupiter

As previously mentioned, this year is the Year of Escape Rooms, so we are going to be trying out as many as we can. Last year, we went to Escape Hunt Lakeside for their Alice in Puzzeland room, which was pretty good, so we figured we’d try another one there. This time, we went for Blackbeard’s Treasure – which, you may have guessed, is a pirate-themed escape room.

Eating Authentic Ramen at Tokyo Ramen Takeichi

Posted on January 29, 2026January 29, 2026 by Jupiter

Whenever we travel to any country for Pokemon Go, it’s likely that our friends Molly and Husky are there. And if they are there, they always recommend the best ramen places! Husky, like me and Dann, loves ramen – so he hunts out different places and tries them all. Tokyo Ramen Takeichi seems to be a franchise, with a few different locations, but we went to the one in Amsterdam! This chain started in Japan, known for it’s heathy ramens, and has expanded into Europe over the years.
