Celebratory Dinner at Sevine Brasserie

Sevine Brasserie, a stylish new Mediterranean food stop, opened up last year in the Water Gardens in Harlow! It’s a place that Dann and I have walked past dozens of times, looking like a great, upscale lunch, brunch and dinner venue. Often, there are people enjoy coffees outside around lunchtime and drinks in the evening. They have really ramped up this year, providing a lot of outdoor music and entertainment for the local community. Dann and I both kept saying we would eat there soon, so when I finished and submitted my book to my publisher at the start of this month, it felt like it was time to eat somewhere new, and Sevine Brasserie came to mind!

Things to know before starting injection birth control

Birth control is one of those things that most people use in their lives, however, it’s not talked about as much as you’d think. There are a bunch of different birth control options, with the most popular generally being a tablet that is taken daily. When I was exploring birth control options, the tablet wasn’t a good fit for me – the side effects were terrible, I didn’t like having to remember these tablets and needing to carry them around when I travelled – it just all felt really inconvenient. So I looked into the Depo-Provera which is an injection based birth control. For me, this is the best possible birth control and I have had a good time on it.

Pencil Nose – Drawing with your Nose!

[Ad- gifted product] When it comes to games, we often play a lot of board games as a family and have moved towards toys that can be played together instead of individually. Pencil Nose could be considered a tabletop game, but in a more children’s toy sense, sort of like Pictionary, but with it’s own unique twist! Whether it’s a board game or a collective toy, we did have a ton of fun playing it together!

Splashing about at H2O Rampage Inflatable Aqua Park

A few years back, we went to an inflatable aqua park. Since then, we’ve gone to smaller versions on holiday, but it’s something all three of our children have mentioned regularly. This summer, Kai has asked to do “more high energy things” so we started looking at inflatable aqua parks again. Everyone loves spending sunny days in the water and we hadn’t visited H2O Rampage Inflatable Aqua Park before, so we decided to book it up! You get an hour long slot, which is just enough to utterly exhaust any adults and teens alike, despite them all saying that an hour isn’t long!

Date Night at the Confetti Flower Field at Hatter’s Farm

Dann and I have been to Hatter’s Farm several times, particularly at Halloween, with our three children. It’s always decked up and very well presented, but now they offer a summertime Confetti Flower Field, filled with vibrant blooms that you can walk around and explore. As we both really enjoyed taking pictures of flowers and hanging out in flower fields, and have explored all of our local lavender fields, we booked up their Adult’s Only night to see this field at sunset.
