The Sandcastles of Burgundy – Perfect for Summer

Posted on July 11, 2025July 12, 2025 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted product] The Sandcastles of Burgundy is a cute, fun game all about gathering materials from under sand castles to stock different markets within your town. The game itself is a race, where everyone is trying to finish up their towns as fast as possible, earning new points as they could. We got to play The Sandcastles of Burgundy at our local Geek Retreat, as a part of our bi-weekly board game night, which was a perfect start to the warm, summer season. It’s a simple, more adorable version of The Castles of Burgundy, in case you want to get your children started early.

Bouquet Cupcake Class with Sweet Designs by Jennie

Posted on July 10, 2025July 9, 2025 by Jupiter

Each month, Amelia and I take a little mother-daughter time going to a cupcake class, to decorate a bunch of cupcakes. We have been going for quite some time now, but we still find a class we haven’t taken each month to enjoy, primarily due to the new classes that Sweet Designs by Jennie is always coming up with! The bouquet cupcake course was one that Amelia was particularly interested in, as we primarily have done classes that had a lot of fondant work, and this class was all about piping!

Dinner at Restaurant Portun

Posted on July 9, 2025July 10, 2025 by Jupiter

When you go to Croatia, everyone always tries some of their grilled meats. Every menu we went to had some sort of grill menu, so we decided to go out to Restaurant Portun and try out a big plate of meat. This place had a sign that said “Best Grill in the Area” which had us sold. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, but we opted for outdoors as we wanted to enjoy the lovely evening weather. At Restaurant Portun we didn’t order a ton of different food, but we did EAT.

Museum of Senses – Unique, Playful Museum

Posted on July 8, 2025July 6, 2025 by Jupiter

I am a fan of strange or more interactive museums and lately we’ve been hitting them all. When deciding what to do for our day, Dann picked out the Museum of Senses, which was a really fantastic choice. This is a great place for fun-loving adults or kids alike. We went in early afternoon, on a Monday, so had the whole place to ourselves, which was a nice bonus. My feet were pretty tired from walking everywhere, so the idea that we were going to take them off and wear the socks felt very fun! The ticket price does not include their special socks, which are an extra 3 Euros, just as a warning.

Smoke and Fire Festival Ascot – Great Food and Music

Posted on July 7, 2025July 6, 2025 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted experience] Last year, we went to the Smoke and Fire Festival in Maldon, which was such a fun vibe! This year, they invited us to the Smoke and fire Festival Ascot, which has very similar vibes, but different showcases and focuses. Dann and I primarily go to food festivals to eat as much different food as we possibly can, which was our goal at the Smoke and Fire Festival Ascot as well.
