A Day Out at Hobbledown Heath

Over the Easter Holiday, we wanted to make the most of the reasonable weather – so we decided to go to an outdoor adventure park! Hobbledown Heath is a new adventure park with tons of different indoor and outdoor play areas, actors pretending to be fairies and magical creatures, live animals to look at, and lots of places to explore. We went when they had a word-related scavenger hunt on as well, with letters posted up – which was very fun. It’s easily a place that you can spend an entire day out at, and we could have totally spent more time there then we did!

Midweek Meal Inspo: Mac n Cheese, Greek Chicken, Fried Fish & more

This week, the sun is out shining and the weather is great! Some of our meals have been quick meals, so that we can enjoy as much of the sunshine as possible. Kai has also taken a huge interest in making food, so we have been discussing differences between ‘homemade’ and ‘made at home’ as well as how some dinners are more put together while others are more homemade. As he is getting older, it’s good for him to know the differences and what cooking is verses putting things together. We wanted to teach him a few different recipes this week to try them out.

Kielbasa, Sauerkraut and Pierogi

Getting Outside with Brainstorm Outdoor Adventure Toys

[Ad- gifted products] With the weather becoming so lovely in England, we have been trying to get outdoors more! Walks, beach days, and riding bikes is such a seasonal thing, that you really do need to take advantage of the sunny weather as soon as it appears. Robin, Kai and Amelia are all really good about playing outside, but it’s always best to get a few new summer toys at the start of the season to really brighten up the idea of being out of the house and away from screens.

Tips for getting your kids into Pokémon

[Ad- collab] One of the best parts of having a hobby is being able to share that hobby with other people. It’s even more fun when that other person is your child, who you can spend a lot of time with doing your hobby and who you can support enjoying your hobby! Having a hobby in common with your child can really help strengthen your bond with them and give you a way to connect with them, especially as they become tweens and teens. One of my main hobbies is Pokemon – I love playing Pokemon Go, I love collecting Pokemon cards, I enjoy the TV series, movies, and generally being apart of the Pokemon fan club. So, naturally, I wanted to ensure that we had a good go at getting our children interested in Pokemon themselves!
