If you’ve seen my previous posts, you’ll notice that we have fallen in love with Doughnut Time’s DIY Doughnut kits – we’ve tried their DIY 2.0 and their Cookie Dough Sandos before, and now wanted something a bit more colorful to try! The Party Sprinkle DIY kit sounded lovely, with lots of different colors and sprinkles, so we wanted to try it out!

[Ad- gifted product] When it comes to plants, I can’t seem to get enough of them. Maybe it comes with getting older or wanting the finer things in life, but having plants around my house is something that brings joy to me. I love seeing them grow and change – seeing them thrive and continue on pushing forward. I’ve dabbled with quite a few plant subscriptions in the past, though I have found it’s hard to find one that is reliable and can deliver plants to your door – as none of us are able to go out now-a-days.

This year we’ve been trying out a lot of different subscription boxes to keep the children entertained while our other options have been somewhat restricted by lockdown and Covid-19. We’ve done everything from nature boxes through to history-themed ones, but perhaps one of the most interesting offerings is the Letterbox Lab Explore Box, which we’ve been tinkering with over the last while.
Much like the Mysteries in Time box, the Letterbox Lab is sequential rather than based on the time of the year. So if you started a subscription today, you’d receive the first box, even if other people you know are much later in the sequence. There are twelve boxes in total as part of the Explore Box, with one delivered a month, and Letterbox Labs also do a much heftier Investigate Box if you have older children, or if you’re still interested in the magic of science once you’ve completed the Explore, 12-box run.

2020 is nearly over, and as I have done a goals list last year, I felt like maybe I should do one this year! Looking back to January, I had no idea that there was going to be a global pandemic, and that really threw most of my life in a bit of a twist – much like I am sure it did for everyone. Regardless of that, the majority of my goals were actually achieved. I was able to get a new car, we are well on the way to moving to our new house, I did record more video games for Youtube and I was able to do some virtual volunteering and donating of my time. The only thing I don’t feel I achieved was getting a new tattoo – but I didn’t really feel comfortable getting a tattoo during a global pandemic!
Each year, we make an effort to go to at least one lantern or light themed event. They pop up around the wintertime, showcasing the best versions of lights! This year, things were a little different, but we did end up finding a light event in our tier, with plenty of precautions, that we could go to! That event, as you probably have guessed, is Glow Wild at Wakehurst.
Upon entering Wakehurst, we followed the signs to the start of the walk. There were plenty of staff dotting around reminding people to wear masks, socially distance, and keep moving throughout the walk. Even though Glow Wild is an outdoor event, it’s one that does require masks, which is always nice. At the main start of the walk, there are a few little treat stalls – selling muffins, coffees, and hot chocolates. We didn’t purchase anything here, but joined the line to start the walk! After picking out a lantern to carry with us, we started along the trail.
