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

Posted on November 2, 2026October 19, 2026 by Jupiter

[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

Posted on October 31, 2026November 1, 2026 by Jupiter

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

Posted on October 30, 2026October 31, 2026 by Jupiter

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!

Which Family Photos We Print + MYPICTURE Giveaway

Posted on October 29, 2026October 29, 2026 by Contributor

When I opened my gallery the other day, out of curiosity, I scrolled right back to the start of 2026 and did a quick count. By the end of October, I had over 1083 photos from days out, random weekends, dinners, the kids being silly. Of all of those, I can count on one hand the ones we have printed. One canvas, two framed prints, a handful stuck to the fridge. The rest live on my phone, where almost nobody ever sees them.

Hylands Fear Fest Extreme swaps ‘spooky’ for scares

Posted on October 29, 2026October 29, 2026 by Dann Sullivan

When we recently visited Hylands Estate for their Fear Fest Spooky Trail we all had a great time. However, as the older two kids – Kai and Amelia – are both getting along into teen-hood they both said that they’d be interested in attending the 15+ Fear Fest Extreme event that takes place along the same trail but during the evening spot. As such, a few days later we found ourselves back there, myself, Kai and Amelia, for the spooky walk. Jupiter opted to skip this one, as she is not the biggest fan of fears and is very easily jumpscared.
