Yakimono Robata – Japanese Styled Tapas

We love exploring new places to eat, and when it comes to food, we are a huge fan of Japanese styled food, especially when there are plenty of different small plates to try out. A new restaurant opened up in Epping, called Yakimono Robata, which describes itself as Japanese Tapas. When we saw Yakimono Robata opening up, in a town that we often drive through, we had to stop in and see if it was any good!

We ended up getting the Premium Tasting Menu, which is 80£ for two. This contains a bunch of courses that come when they are ready, covering different fish, vegetables, and meats. We ended up swapping one dish out, which they were happy to do for us, and had a great time eating everything there. This tasting menu is split between us both, with tasting plates in front of us!

How to update your home office

When it comes to where you work, you can be uninspired if you have been working in the same, boring room for quite some time. We’ve previously talked about how to create a functional office, but today, we are going to look at updating your office and ensuring that the place you are working in is inspiration and able to help you work well when you are there! This article specifically looks at updating a home office.

Paint a feature wall

The walls of your office is one of the first things that you should start with your walls. Often, in most buildings these days, walls are painted a natural color; white, grey, light blue. These colors present a clean room or area, which is good, but not having a lot of color in your room can make it feel sterile, uninspiring, and just drab. You can make the decision to change all of the walls, or focus on a feature wall. Wallpapering or painting a feature wall, possible as a backdrop if you are often on camera for your job, is a really fun idea. Having this entire new wall can really update your space and make it feel more bright, colorful and fun, especially depending on the vibe you go for, for your wall.

Baking with Nutritional Ninjas

[Ad- gifted product] If you follow me on TikTok, you will be more than aware that our household is a big fan of homemade foods! We create the majority of what we eat, from scratch. As a result, the children – especially Amelia and Robin – are very interested in cooking. Previously, we were apart of the Little Cooks monthly cooking box, but over time Amelia felt these recipes weren’t to her taste, so we were excited to try out the Nutritional Ninjas baking box!

A Day Out at All My Sons at Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch

[Ad- gifted experience] Plays and performances have been hitting the stages, now that the world is getting back to normal. We have been to a few, so far, from children’s focused plays to musicals, and have been really enjoying the energy and story. All My Sons is no exception. This play was based in America, with all of the actors putting on some really great American accents, which added a lot to the show.

Quizzie – Water Squirting Toy

[Ad- gifted product] When it comes to toys, ones that have water are something that Robin seems to gravitate towards. Even in the middle of UK winter. Though, there isn’t many indoor winter water toys, we have allowed Quizzie to enter our home! Quizzie is a water squirting toy, that doesn’t make too much of a mess! It’s a robot that squirts water when you get things wrong, containing three different games!
