Gardening with Pot Gang

[Ad- gifted product] The weather has been brighter out, the world feels defrosted for the most part, so it’s time to start thinking about your garden. Back in January, we got sent a box from Pot Gang with some fruit, vegetable and herbs to grow. To be honest, time in January got away from us, and we ended up growing our plants at the very end, with Amelia very much wanting to be in charge of them. Pot Gang has a monthly subscription of easy to grow plants, that feel very fulfilling when you grow them.

Greepz – Creepy Pasta-inspired Plush Collectables

[Ad- gifted products] When it comes to teenagers and tweens, especially boys, there isn’t a lot out there to buy for them. I think it’s just the age group; they become extremely challenging to purchase gifts or to have interest in anything really. Kai is a big gamer and likes the gym, but one thing he quite enjoys with his friends, is horror. Greepz seems like the absolute perfect thing, as it is a spooky plush range, aimed at teens and adults, who like something a little more creepy and out there.

Alton Towers Pirate Takeover and Splash Landings Hotel Ice Cave Room

During the February half term, we always go to the Alton Towers Pirate Takeover event. This year, we actually floated not going, as we felt Kai and Amelia were a bit old for the whole thing, but after talking it over with them, everyone decided they really wanted to go and that we needed to. With that in mind, we booked up tickets to the Pirate Takeover, with a night at Splash Landings in the Ice Cave Room.

Triyit Box – Testing New Brands

[Ad- gifted product] We have qualified and received another Triyit Box, which is always pretty exciting. These aren’t subscription boxes, and instead are boxes of new products that companies are looking for feedback for. Most of out Triyit Boxes look quite similar; snacks, drinks, and cat food or treats. This box contained a decent amount of products, that we then needed to try and fill out surveys for. The goal is to give product feedback and maybe find some new family favorites.

Eating noodles at UDON Bilbao Abando

After visiting the Guggenheim in Bilbao, we were all looking for a place to eat, so stumbled upon UDON Bilbao Abando. This Asian restaurant is quite nearby, has a sustainability award, and says they specialize in noodles. I am a huge fan of both noodles and Asian food, so was very interested in eating here. As they had some vegan options, for our vegan friend, we went right in to see if it was as good as expected.
