Paw Patrol: Mighty Pups Save Adventure Bay | Review

Posted on November 25, 2020August 27, 2024 by Dann Sullivan

[Ad- gifted product] As you might well know, both Jupiter and I work in video games. As such there are tons and tons of games and gaming equipment littering the house. If you’re a fan of games then I’m sure you can imagine how exciting this is for children, but there is a bit of an issue which is that, especially for Robin the youngest, a lot of these games are either too complex or not appropriate for her. She often tries to play games that are a bit too advanced for her, dying to creepers in Minecraft and getting a bit frustrated when she doesn’t know where to go in Spyro. This inspired us to find some games that would be better suited for her. Our first stop was PAW Patrol: On a Roll! She really enjoyed this game, being a huge fan of PAW Patrol, and with PAW Patrol: Mighty Pups Save Adventure Bay out, we figured we’d take a look at that too.

4 Tips for Creating Open Plan Houses

Posted on November 24, 2020August 27, 2024 by Contributor

The newest trend in England seems to be creating more open plan houses! So many houses within this country seem to have been boxed up, to get the most flats out of their limited divided spaces, but as families are growing – they are looking for the more American styled, open-planned houses! There are lots of renovations that can be done to make your home more open planned, provided you have the money and drive to change your home around. The house attached to ours, actually, is currently renovating their house to make it more marketable in this climate! With this in mind, I figured I’d share some tips on making a home more open plan when doing renos!

Think About Flow

Often when people think about open plan, they start removing walls. This is a great starting point, however, flow needs to be kept in mind. In the last year, I cannot tell you how many houses had just started destroying walls, creating rooms that had no flow. I went into one house that had you open the front door onto the sit down dining room, as it was just a very long, separated room, with a small archway into the actual living room – as there was no walls left for a TV to fit and a couch! Even if your home is open planned, you will need to actually do the planning of where rooms would be and how the flow from the front of the house into the rest of the house would feel.

Executive Black Glasses | Trendhim Giveaway

Posted on November 20, 2020August 27, 2024 by Jupiter and Dann

[Ad- gifted product] We have previously worked with Trendhim, with their Canvas Bag, which Dann really enjoyed taking to events (back when travelling to and from events were more of a thing). As it’s getting close to Christmas time, Trendhim wanted to run a little giveaway with an item that we had been enjoying. Lately, Dann has joined the glasses club, looking to take better care of his eyes. After getting blue light glasses for when he uses screens, he ended up picking up the Executive Black Glasses, which are some lovely looking sunglasses that work great for protecting your eyes from the sunlight.

Mountains from my Hometown | Dream of Mountains Challenge

Posted on November 19, 2020December 13, 2021 by Jupiter

I grew up in a very small town in Upstate NY. Despite it being small, it was right on the edge of the Adirondack Foothills, best known for their beautiful mountain ranges. This time of year, I think about the mountains a lot. In the fall, you see, the mountain range starts dancing with color and life. There are some amazing trees all crisp and colorful, waiting for the season to change. Some of my fondest memories are my grandmother driving around, just to take a look at the trees. When I heard about AliKats’ Dream of Mountains Challenge, I wanted to share my reasons why I miss the mountains.
