Gas Station Grub at Fort Ann Super Stop

Posted on September 16, 2026September 16, 2026 by Jupiter

When in Upstate New York, we ate out a lot! Probably, slightly too much, but that’s just a thing to do in the area. In a small town, you can find the Fort Ann Super Stop, which is a very small town gas station that also sells food. It’s within a stone’s throw of the house I grew up in, so when Dann and I woke up hungry, due to the time zones, we walked over to have some food. As it’s a convince store, you can purchase a selection of drinks from the cooler area, grab some snacks if you want, and order food at the deli counter.

Pac Man Plug and Play – Little Retro Game

Posted on September 15, 2026September 12, 2026 by Jupiter

[Ad – Gifted Products] I feel like everyone has heard of and has played Pac Man. It’s one of those retro games that have been around for what feels like a lifetime! Pac Man is a simple game – there are a bunch of dots on the screen, inside a sort of maze. There are ghosts stuck in the middle, that make their way out and move around, sometimes chasing you, so that they can eat you! As Pac Man, you need to eat up all of the dots around the screen, including blinking dots that allow you to eat the ghosts for a few moments after you’ve eaten one, before they go back to normal ghosts or, in the case of being eaten, respawn. Sometimes fruit appears that you can eat for extra points. The Pac Man Plug and Play allows you to play this simple game on your TV, just by plugging in a HDMI-drive stick and a cable.

Over the last few years, we have driven through High Wych after their Scarecrow Festival and have enjoyed seeing all of the different creations! This year, as it is their 10th anniversary, we made a big effort to actually catch the day that these scarecrows go out and go along to the festivities. The High Wych Scarecrow Festival is a very local event with lots of the local businesses in the area participating and many of the houses having decorations out.

LUSH Pompompurin Shower Jelly – Adorable and fun

Posted on September 11, 2026September 2, 2026 by Jupiter

[Ad – Gifted Products] Robin is such a big fan of shower jelly, she always has one for her baths as a little bathtime fun thing! When LUSH released their Hello Kitty and Friends collab, I knew that Robin was going to find an adorable thing that she needed to add to her routine. I am a huge Hello Kitty and Friends collab – and Robin has been leaning more and more into them as well, so when we went to our local LUSH store, I wasn’t surprised when she fell in love with the Pompompurin Shower Jelly.

Perform Sheering – Boosting Confidence in Kids

Posted on September 10, 2026September 2, 2026 by Jupiter

Robin has been going to Perform Sheering for nearly two terms now, and it’s really quite fantastic. They did a sort of tester class at Robin’s school, which she really had a fantastic time with, and then she ended up asking to join up as it was the start of a term. She blended in seamlessly and looks forward to each and every class, which has been fantastic. Dann and I believe that having some sort of after school club or activity, especially with children from outside their school.
