LAIKA presents Wildwood: The Exhibition at The Design Museum London

[Ad- gifted experience] Amelia is a big fan of Coraline, the first movie created by LAIKA, so we were both very excited to go to LAIKA presents Wildwood: The Exhibition at The Design Museum London. I work with the Roblox game Coraline, which has been having a lot of Wildwood updates, so I had actually seen the Wildwood movie several times, at several different stages of completion. Seeing the movie and then seeing the exhibition was truly a unique and fantastic experience!

Palace Bowl Presents Jimmy Eat World

This year, we have really ramped up the amount of live music we have gone to see! A bit after seeing My Chemical Romance, Dann and I went along with Quang to see Palace Bowl Presents Jimmy Eat World, along with their supporting act Rise Against. They did also have Jay Som and The Get Up Kids playing, but we were most interested in Rise Against and Jimmy Eat World, so went along for only those.

Crusty Rolls for Stew with Wright’s Baking Oat and Linseed Bread Mix

[Ad- gifted product] We have made quite a bit of the different Wright’s Baking mixes – from cakes to breads, as it’s so easy to use and has so much flavor! Now that we have hit the warmer months, I have been making more hearty foods, which include stew. Our household is a big stew household – I make quite a few for dinner. Kai always is excited about having stew for DnD as it fits the theme of DnD well, which is very silly. Whenever we have stew, everyone wants a crusty bread, so this time I made Wright’s Baking Oat and Linseed Bread Mix into little rolls.

Project 365 – October 2026

October is prime spooky season! We’ve been watching the trees change color, being busy at home, and I went to a few speaking events. This month, I was going to spend a week in Poland for work, however my passport needed renewing so I sent that off and am waiting. It takes much longer as I am American renewing in the UK, but it was good to have a month without travel if I am honest. It was still extremely busy! This month has Amelia’s birthday, Halloween, and a lot of little events. Kai has also been in fantastic spirits, talking about how happy he is with his life and how great things have been lately. It’s so good to see him continuing to grow and thrive.

For each and every day of October, I wrote about our day and took a picture. I post these monthly as a part of Project 365 – some bloggers post their daily, weekly, or monthly like me. You can check out their posts at the bottom of this one.

Spooky Frights at Halloween at Kew Gardens 2026

It’s nearly the end of October, but as we have all of the half term, we wanted to do another spooky trail. For our household, it’s super important to get out each day of the break, especially as all of us get a little wrapped into our phones and bored when inside all day. Kai had an evening out with his friends, so Amelia, Robin, Dann and I, along with Claire, went out to Halloween at Kew Gardens. We’ve previously been a few years back, but it had been quite some time!
