Exploring MCM Comic Con London 2026

Posted on May 25, 2026May 24, 2026 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted experience] Another year, another MCM Comic Con London! It feels like each time this comes around, at least one kid is out of school. We’ve had a day of just Kai, a day of Kai and Amelia, and this year we got a day of just Robin and a day of just Kai! On the Friday at MCM Comic Con London 2026, we took just Robin as she was the one without school that day. Kai had also asked to attend, so we decided to take him on the Sunday, as Dann and I always tend to go two days to get everything done.

SpongeBob SquarePants Labyrinth – Sliding around Bikini Bottom

Posted on May 22, 2026May 23, 2026 by Jupiter

[Ad – Gifted Products] Robin is such a huge fan of SpongeBob SquarePants, so when we saw SpongeBob SquarePants Labyrinth, we wanted to play it. We’ve previously played Pokemon Labyrinth, so we all sort of knew how the game was played. Labyrinth is a classic board game type, often finding different IPs to change out the characters, cards, and layouts on the board. SpongeBob SquarePants Labyrinth was absolutely perfect for Robin!

Playing Pinball at Arcade Archaeology

Posted on May 21, 2026May 17, 2026 by Jupiter

Dann is a big fan of pinball and has been for quite some time. While exploring a mall local to my hometown, we saw Arcade Archaeology – which was closed at the time. Thankfully, we messaged them and they agreed to open on a day of the week they are normally shut to let us in! Arcade Archaeology is a primarily pinball venue that’s set up like a museum. It’s a non-profit, ran by volunteers, who all very much love pinball.

Horton’s Steam Fair is coming to West Wycombe May 30th and 31st

Posted on May 20, 2026May 19, 2026 by Jupiter

Horton’s Steam Fair has announced their 2026 tour, which is going all across the United Kingdom. Horton’s Steam Fair is one of the more traditional, old-fashion touring fairs that bring something so fun yet so vintage to the country. This year, it’s bigger and better than ever!

This steam fair features a large collection of restored Britain funfair rides, bringing them to life for festivals and for the sets of film and TV. This is Horton’s second year on tour, where they’ve brought together authentic pieces from the 1900s to 1960s, including iconic rides from Carters Steam Fair, which we attended a few years back and very much enjoyed.

Gummy Candy Lab – Kid’s Science Kit

Posted on May 20, 2026May 17, 2026 by Jupiter

[Ad – Gifted Products] Some of these science kits can be quite hit and miss, we have found. Often, we find these kits don’t turn out well or don’t feel as fun as the box makes them look. The idea of a Gummy Candy Lab sounds extremely fun, but we honestly expected the whole thing to not taste very good or have some deeply science-y things to it, that would require learning instead of having learning done casually. We were very happily surprised that not only is the Gummy Candy Lab delicious, but it’s also very fun to put together!
