Project 365 – May 2026

Posted on June 1, 2026June 1, 2026 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

Posted on May 29, 2026May 24, 2026 by Jupiter

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

Posted on May 28, 2026May 24, 2026 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

Posted on May 27, 2026May 24, 2026 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.

The Best Father’s Day Gifts 2026

Posted on May 26, 2026May 26, 2026 by Jupiter and Dann

[Ad – Gifted Products] Updated on May 26th, 2026, to add more gift ideas. During the almost-year that I’ve been writing on this website alongside Jupiter I’ve been introduced to a massive selection of companies who create custom, specialised presents and gifts perfect for a variety of events. Father’s Day is rapidly approaching, and this made me realise that this is – almost certainly – one of the best times of year for us to quickly list off some of the best Father’s Day gifts out there.

Steenbergs BBQ Rubs

Steenbergs have a set of three seasoning blends, one of which being a rub and the other two being more of a seasoning mix. These seasonings are ideal for fathers who are BBQing or cooking this summer. I find these sorts of seasonings, in our household, really inspire us to cook something a little different and encourage new cooking. It’s also perfect for this time of year!
