Project 365 - December

Project 365 – December

Posted on by Jupiter

December came so quickly this year! It’s been a month of reflection, travel, lots of family time, and many, many seasonal events. We are a busy family, and I think I realized just how busy we are compared to others with this project. 2025 has been the best year of my life and I am so excited to see what 2026 has in store. Kai, Amelia and Robin have all grown so much in this year and all of them have made me so proud to be their parent. Onto 2026.

This post is a part of Project 365 where a bunch of bloggers share a picture and a bit about each day of the year. Some share weekly, some monthly like me. You can check out other bloggers at the bottom of this post.

December 1st – Monday, Funday

Jack and the Beanstalk (Adult's Only) at the King’s Head Theatre

Jack and the Beanstalk (Adult’s Only) at the King’s Head Theatre

Posted on by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted experience] We’ve been to a lot of pantomimes over the last few years! They seem like such a classic, Christmastime activity and here we love seasonal events. Dann and I, however, have never been to an adult’s only panto. Pantomimes are known for their cheeky humor and innuendos, however, this was a few steps beyond that. Instead of cheeky humor, it was full of crude jokes, audience participation, and some of the classic panto moments that you’d expect. Jack and the Beanstalk at the King’s Head Theatre does have a child-friendly version as well, but this was not it!

What's the Best Thing? - Ranking Based Card Game

What’s the Best Thing? – Ranking Based Card Game

Posted on by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted product] When it comes to board games, we play a large range of them! Every other Monday, Amelia, Robin, Dann and I have some shakes and play some board games at our local Geek Retreat while Kai goes off to the gym. This sort of after school activity is one that everyone really looks forward too, especially when it comes to hanging out as a family together. This week, our board game was What’s the Best Thing? which is a compact party game that works better if you really know the people you are playing with.

Christmas Cat-Astrophe Escape Room at KnownEscape

Christmas Cat-Astrophe Escape Room at KnownEscape

Posted on by Jupiter

In the colder months, when there isn’t much sunshine, we tend to book up an escape room or two! This time, we went to KnownEscape in Bishop’s Stotford for their Christmas Cat-Astrophe Escape Room, which is a Christmas version of their Crazy Cat Lady escape room that they run during the year. This Christmas theme is shown through the decorations in the room and through the slight change in puzzles, though we haven’t been to their original version of the game, we are pretty sure it would be very similar.

Simple Comforts That Make Winter Better

Simple Comforts That Make Winter Better

Posted on by Contributor

Winter can slow everything down, making the days shorter, the evenings stretch longer, and suddenly the little things matter more than they did before.

While summer often encourages us to be out and about, winter invites us to turn inward, finding comfort in routines, warmth, and familiarity.

The reality is that enjoying winter isn’t about grand changes, but about embracing simple comforts that can loosen the strain on everyday life and allow you to find the colder season more enjoyable.

A Warm Home as the Foundation
