The Creepy Cute Sticker Book – Fantastic Stickers

[Ad- gifted product] We are a big seasonal house, but we also very much love Halloween. It’s just a really fun holiday with absolutely perfect vibes. Our household is also one that is very crafty, with both Amelia and Robin spending a lot of time making crafts and enjoying our craft supplies. We have a massive drawer of stickers – ones we have purchased that we thought they’d like, ones we have picked up from events that match video games, and ones that Amelia or Robin have brought home from school. We’ve never actually had a physical book of stickers before! The Creepy Cute Sticker Book is our first, but not our last.

A Day Out at Signs of the Time Music Festival

[Ad- gifted experience] Dann and I both enjoy a bunch of different types of music, so when we heard about the Signs of the Time Music Festival, we wanted to see what it was all about. We attended the festival on the Sunday, where we were very excited about seeing Feeder and Reverend and the Makers at the end of the evening. Both of us were also helping out the St Clare’s Hospice, who were the charity partners of the event, which means that we spent some of our time there presenting bracelets to people in exchange for donations to the Hospice.

Exploding Kittens – Easy, Luck-Based Card Game

[Ad- gifted product] I feel like everyone has heard of Exploding Kittens, a card game known for having cute yet strange cat-related artwork on each one! Exploding Kittens is created by the same developers as Power Hungry Pets, but was their first ever tabletop game. Somehow, we have never played Exploding Kittens; likely as when the game came out, it would have been too complex for Robin. As we have all grown older, it made sense to finally pick up a copy and play it for ourselves.

Henry VIII’s Joust at Hampton Court Palace

If you’ve been around teenagers, you know that they often have a bit of a “meh” personality. It’s just something about being a teen – nothing is exciting, fun or cool anymore. We are a big adventure household, and though Kai does like going out, a lot of the activities aren’t super Kai focused. Recently, Kai mentioned Jousting as something he would like to see, so obviously we jumped at the idea of taking him somewhere he might really love! We went back to Hampton Court Palace to see Henry VIII’s Joust!

Baking with Wright’s Baking Scone Mix

[Ad- gifted product] Every year, we go to Cammas Hall and pick some strawberries! All of our kids agree I make the very best homemade jam ever, and picking strawberries is always a fun start to creating jam. This year, we got enough strawberries for two entire jars of jam and decided we wanted to make some scones to go with them. The Wright’s Baking Scone Mix is a really simple and easy option when it comes to making scones.
