A Day Out at Weald Country Park

A Day Out at Weald Country Park

Posted on by Dann Sullivan

Jupiter really loves deer. She grew up in a small town that had a lot of deer, deer hunting, and often just wild deer wandering about. As we have been going on more creative date nights, due to most things being shut, I surprised her with a trip to Weald Country Park – which ended up being so popular, that we went back with the kids. This time of year is when all of the deer are out, making it a perfect wintertime activity. Weald Country Park is free to enter – although if you park nearby you’ll need to pay for the car park – and contains a few different park areas, trails, a pond, deer and a cafe.

Pretty Suds November 2020 Bath Bomb Box | Review

Pretty Suds November 2020 Bath Bomb Box | Review

Posted on by Jupiter

November’s Pretty Suds box was Christmas themed – perfect for this time of year! After last month’s box of Halloween ones, I was pretty excited to get Christmas themed bath bombs, despite purchasing some from Lush already. I find that nice, warm baths in the winter can be so relaxing and such a good way to unwind, especially as the nights get colder and the days get shorter. The theme for November was Santa’s Workshop, which is truly perfect. Each box comes with five different bombs.

My Top Wintertime Netflix Series & Movies

Posted on by Jupiter

When it comes to Christmastime, there are so many different Christmas movies and TV series. A lot of them are too cheesy and too terrible for me to enjoy, if I am honest! I have spent some time over the last month watching nearly everything on Netflix that I can get my hands on, and I have put together a list of my favorite series, that do have a wintertime twist, that you can currently watch on Netflix right now!

5 Things to Think about as your Cat Gets Older

5 Things to Think about as your Cat Gets Older

Posted on by Jupiter

[Ad- collab] Now, don’t get me wrong. Pancake is still a little tiny cat in my eyes. As it turns out, I am not actually that wrong, as their aging can be different from breed to breed. Pancake is a purebred – something neither Dann nor myself had ever been able to get before. Purebreds are often considered a junior pet for a little bit longer, which is pretty cool, but most cats are deemed ‘senior’ from anywhere between age 7 and 11.

As Pancake gets older, there are lots of things we want to keep in mind and consider, as time flies and accommodating your pet all through their life is something we aim to do ourselves. There are a lot of different things to think about and look for as your cat ages, to make sure they do get the most out of their lives and enjoy a full life themselves. It’s good to fully understand what an older pet will look like, even if you get a kitten, as hopefully you will have your cat long into their old age.

6 Ways to Up Your Hot Chocolate

6 Ways to Up Your Hot Chocolate

Posted on by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted product] When Tru Bamboo introduced us to the Tru Bamboo Tumbler, we were excited to see how it could upgrade our hot chocolate. This tumbler has a separate tea strainer, which you can fill with tea leaves, and screw shut, placing it into the tumbler where it fits tightly into the top portion of the bottle. From there, you could fill the tumbler up with hot water to have your tea brew. Now, in the wintertime, I am all for hot chocolate – not so much tea – so we used this cool tea strainer bit to infuse the hot chocolate in the tumbler with our own flavors!
