Eating noodles at UDON Bilbao Abando

After visiting the Guggenheim in Bilbao, we were all looking for a place to eat, so stumbled upon UDON Bilbao Abando. This Asian restaurant is quite nearby, has a sustainability award, and says they specialize in noodles. I am a huge fan of both noodles and Asian food, so was very interested in eating here. As they had some vegan options, for our vegan friend, we went right in to see if it was as good as expected.

Seeing all of the wonders at Watermouth Castle

We got to Woolacombe Bay each year and always find somewhere nearby to go on the last day. Last year, we went to the Quince Honey Farm as per the promotion going on at Woolacombe Bay and this year they had a little promo with Watermouth Castle, so we wanted to check it out.

Tips on How Sensory Processing Therapy Benefits Children with Autism, Anxiety, and ADHD

Autism and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children are neurodevelopmental problems that can often include problems with processing information perceived by our own body’s sensory systems. This sensory information includes visual, auditory, sound, touch (tactile),  taste and smell, movement and body positioning (proprioception and vestibular), and interoception
