Wonderland Cupcake Class with Sweet Designs by Jennie

Once a month, Amelia and I go to a cupcake class together! It’s a sort of mother-daughter bonding time that we both very much enjoy, however, Amelia asked to have a few friends over and all go to this class, and of course, why wouldn’t we? The Wonderland cupcake class hosted by Sweet Designs by Jennie was such a fun one for friends as well. Amelia had two of her friends along, one of which who isn’t photographed – we all had a fantastic time.

Back to School Essentials

[Ad – Gifted Products, updated to add new items] Back to school always comes around a little faster than we’d like! Now that summer is winding to the end, it’s time to look at your school supplies and see what needs replacing. We tend to refresh most things in our household, so that everyone has a new set for the new year. Below are some of the essentials we get for back to school time!

Air Up Water Bottle

I must say, I really wasn’t sure about the idea of the Air Up, especially when it came to using a scent to get kids to drink more water. It turns out, however, these really do work! We’ve picked up a bunch of the various scents, including candy ones, and have seen a real up-tick in interest in water. This feels like a great way to keep kids drinking water during the school day.

Aqua Guard – Protecting your hair while swimming

As you may know, I do dye my hair, involving both bleach and dye. Despite all of this hair color, I do not shy away from swimming family holidays! There are a lot of people out there that will not go in chlorine-filled water when they’ve had their hair dyed, due to the effect it has on hair. On the other hand, I do feel like Robin, Amelia and Kai are only going to be kids for so long (with the older two already hitting mid-teens!) so I am going to go into the water whenever they do. Since we were going to Center Parcs once again, I grabbed a bottle of Aqua Guard to see how it faired.

My Chemical Romance at Wembley Stadium

We do love going out and doing various different things! I have not been to a stadium gig, so when I heard My Chemical Romance was playing, I figured I knew enough of their music to go along. At first, I invited Dann, but he said he wasn’t a big enough fan really. Kai overheard this conversation and said he was, and that he wanted to go. So there was two of us. When talking about possibly going, Amelia said ‘I like live music’ and after a bit of talking, we decided that she would go even though it’s not her favorite type of music.
