Esmeralda Candle Co Candles - Fantastic Scents

Esmeralda Candle Co Candles – Fantastic Scents

Posted on by Jupiter

[Ad – Gifted Products] We are a big candle household, often checking out lots of candles at our local Homesense. It’s just one of those things that we always have in our house, often rotating the various scents throughout the year. I have a pretty high standard at this point when it comes to candles, as I very much want a scent that lasts and has a good burn rate. So, I had high expectations when the Esmeralda Candle Co Candles arrived! However, these candles actually already smelled fantastic, through their packaging, and I was very excited.

Project 365 - May 2026

Project 365 – May 2026

Posted on by Jupiter

I was in America for most of the month of May! I do not visit my family as often as I should, really, but whenever I go back I do spend a good chunk of time there. This was the first time I had visited my part of America with Dann, but he had headed back after a week. It was lovely hearing how home was going while I was gone. Dann is such a capable parent and it’s lovely to be able to go away for so long and know he has it all under control. When I got back, we got back to our busy life and even went on a family holiday! I wrote about each of my days as a part of Project 365 – where you share a picture and dairy-style entry about your life. There are a bunch of other blogs that have participated (either on a weekly, monthly, or daily bases) at the bottom of this post if you want to check them out.

Fun Food at Battle Hill Brewing Company

Fun Food at Battle Hill Brewing Company

I have been to Battle Hill Brewing Company a few times, as I lived so close by. However, Dann had never been there, so when we were looking for a place for a late lunch, I thought he would find some of the food interesting. It’s one of those small town places that has lots of regulars, a bar you can sit at, and a handful of tables. There are lots of decorations that feel American as well.

Building the Crystal Art Mandalorian and Grogu XL

Building the Crystal Art Mandalorian and Grogu XL

Posted on by Jupiter

[Ad – Gifted Products] Crystal Art is not a new thing in our household, from Crystal Art keychains to ornaments, to other Disney franchises too. With the new Star Wars movie out now, of course it’s only natural to see the Crystal Art Mandalorian and Grogu XL Buddies, which are two, quite large, Crystal Art figures that can be displayed on a base! Robin very much wanted to do Grogu, giving me permission to take on the Mandalorian.

Eating Everything at Taste of Eataly Summer Edition

Eating Everything at Taste of Eataly Summer Edition

Posted on by Jupiter

Dann and I love trying new food and food festivals. A work friend of mine, from a job we both freelance at, has been talking for over a year now about how both her and myself need to try oysters. This has become a bit of a thing, but as we don’t live near each other, we just haven’t sorted out the time. Until she started talking about Taste of Eataly, which allows you to try a bunch of different food, including oysters.
