Zzzopa Mini Ball - Bouncy and Spinny!

Zzzopa Mini Ball – Bouncy and Spinny!

Posted on by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted product] It’s toy season, so we’ve been checking out a bunch of fun toys that can make a great gift for younger ones. This time, Robin’s been playing with the Zzzopa Mini Ball, which comes in a few different colors. We went with pink, which is such a cute color and perfect for Robin, who is a bit of a girly girl. This ball isn’t just a throwing ball, it’s one that is solid feeling, with two harder plastic bits at the top and bottom, making it into a spinning fidget that you can play with, without throwing it around.

Lovely Breakfast at Bakers and Roasters

Lovely Breakfast at Bakers and Roasters

Posted on by Jupiter

We love food, and as I have been cutting down on eating meat, I did went to try out some more vegan dishes. Dann suggested Bakers and Roasters, which was on our way to ARTIS Zoo, and it felt like the perfect fit. The whole place had a sort of hipster cafe vibe, with someone welcoming us and seating us as soon as we arrived. The place was half full of people chatting and eating. They did have a display case of freshly made pastries and a menu of coffees, but we came for food.

B&M Grinch Range - Perfect Holiday Gifting

B&M Grinch Range – Perfect Holiday Gifting

Posted on by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted products] Christmas time has some serious Grinch fans, so it makes sense that you can find all sorts of Grinch items, ideal for the holiday season! I am a huge fan of the Grinch myself. Robin and I have matching Grinch PJs, we have had Grinch themed dinners while watching the movies, and I am a huge Dr. Suess fan generally. The Grinch just feels like such a fantastic holiday-specific character that we very much enjoy seeing this time of year. So, let’s dive into a bunch of the Grinch items that B&M Stores are selling this year.

Grinch Character Ornament

The Grinch character Ornament is a single ornament showcasing the Grinch in his Christmas outfit, with some gifts to the left of him. This is such a cute, well carved ornament that has a great paint job. This ornament isn’t plastic, and instead is a little solid feeling, like it would need to go to the back of the branch or else it might make dip down a bit, if you know what I mean.

Exploring Enlightened Hylands Estate

Exploring Enlightened Hylands Estate

[Ad- gifted experience] We do try to fit in as many light trails as possible when it comes to the Christmas season. There are always so many new ones popping up and it’s fantastic to go back to the ones we have previously visited to see how they have changed for the year. Hylands Estate has the first ever light trail that our family went to, many years ago. Enlightened does a variety of different light trails in England, of which we’ve been to quite a few, but Enlightened Hylands Estate holds a special place in our hearts.

Laid-Back Glasses - Reading while lying down!

Laid-Back Glasses – Reading while lying down!

Posted on by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted product] When it comes to toys that are for both adults and kids, Laid-Back Glasses feel like a fantastic invention. These glasses have mirrors in them, so that you can see what’s in your lap when you are laying down, without moving your head. Instead of seeing directly in front of you, you can just see down! Robin is the big reader in our household (though I can see how you could use these glasses to play on your phone!) so she was delighted to have a pair to play around with.
