Night Away at Luton Hoo Hotel

Posted on March 13, 2025March 27, 2025 by Jupiter

As a birthday gift, Dann booked a night at Luton Hoo Hotel, which is a large, historical manor, with a spa! Everything that I really want in a day of relaxation. We spent a night in the hotel, went to the spa for quite a large amount of time, roamed the grounds, and ate dinner at the manor. This was quite a relaxing experience and we very much enjoyed a night to ourselves, away from work.

When staying at the Luton Hoo Hotel, you can stay in the manor or you can stay in the nearby building which is basically touching the spa. Due to wanting to make the most of the spa, we very much wanted to be nearby instead of in the main building. We did spend some time roaming the manor, which had sitting rooms, lots of different historical items, and beautiful tapestries. There was a bar here and it’s where the meals are served. You can easily take a car (they drive you the 5 minute journey down the road) to the house we were staying at.

The Dog Ate My Homework – Scrambling Pictures

Posted on March 12, 2025March 24, 2025 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted products] When it comes to the old excuse that your dog ate your homework, there is already a silly picture in your head. The toy – or rather board game? – The Dog Ate My Homework takes the general silly idea and makes it into a quick to learn, easy to play tabletop game where your child can feed a toy dog drawings and watch them get all scrambled up. The game comes with a bunch of papers with different drawings, a dog that you put together, treat tokens, and instructions. We played this game at our local Geek Retreat on one of our board game nights after school.

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

Posted on March 10, 2025March 10, 2025 by Jupiter

[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

Posted on March 7, 2025March 19, 2025 by Jupiter

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.
