Don’t Be a Scaredy Bear – Silly Children’s Game

[Ad- gifted product] We have a small collection of games that I would call silly. These are the ones that we often see younger ones playing again and again, on their own, as it’s just something so silly they they enjoy playing around with them. Don’t Be a Scaredy Bear is a silly game where you need to pull plasters off of a big bear, who can freak out if you find yourself pulling the plaster off too roughly.

Harlow Chinese School – Hot Pot Party

When it comes to cooking at the Harlow Chinese School, a lot of the prep work is already done for us. This is totally okay with me, as I am more than happy to primarily do the eating! with the first course of the New Year, Sun Yong wanted to do something a bit different, and prepare a Hot Pot Party. This was more of a big social event, where we were just cooking out own Hot Pot and talking with each other. Honestly, it felt like a great community activity and a lovely way to start off the New Year without any sort of pressure.

Dog Man Attack of the Fleas Board Game – Working Together to Destroy a Robot

After playing the incredibly easy Dog Man The Flip-O-Rama Game, Robin was very excited to dive into some more challenging Dog Man games.

Spending a few days at Ercilla de Bilbao

[Ad- gifted experience] When it comes to staying in a hotel, you’ll want to make sure somewhere that is enjoyable. Ercilla de Bilbao is a fantastic choice, right in the center of Bilbao. From the moment we went towards the entrance, which is set down, as if walking into some underground sanctuary. The staff at the entrance was very welcoming, quickly checking in everyone (as a bunch of us had arrived at the same time). If you have a lot of luggage, they are happy to bring it right to your room!

Trying new Higgidy products for an easy lunch

[Ad- gifted products] Higgidy has been a go-to brand for us when it comes to picnics or easy grab-and-go snacks. Our family associates them with vegan products or products that don’t contain any meat. When looking at all of their new stock, we noticed that they had a bunch of new meat pies and other savouries that we had not tried before! Excited, we set up a little indoor picnic, as it’s quite cold and windy outside, where we could try a bunch of picky bits.
