The Toaster - Fantastic Brunch Spot

The Toaster – Fantastic Brunch Spot

Posted on by Jupiter

A friend of mine said I should go to The Toaster and try their hashbrown nachos when I spoke about making weird nacho food for Kai. I had not heard of the place and though I am not a big brunch or breakfast fan, while Kai and Robin were at school (and Amelia still on holiday from her school), we wanted to go out somewhere new. The Toaster came to mind, so we all headed out to see what the food was going to be like. To our surprise, it was probably the best brunch I am ever going to have in my life.

Dinner out at The Cock Helsinki

Dinner out at The Cock Helsinki

Posted on by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted experience] While in Helsinki for a work event, we went out to a celebratory dinner to celebrate the end of a fantastic event and a promotion I got within the company! Picking something that sounded and felt like it could be British, we ended up at The Cock. This restaurant is very welcome to people just visiting the area and serves a fun menu with a lot of familiar and classic food. Dann and I both got different starters and mains, for once, off of a set menu that the entire team ordered from. The venue felt cozy, like an upscale pub, and the staff were fantastic.

Cat Days and Woof Days - Cute Card Games

Cat Days and Woof Days – Cute Card Games

Posted on by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted products] Another Monday has passed, and we did our normal thing of playing a new card game down at our local Geek Retreat! Armed with some milkshakes, Amelia and I played Cat Days while Dann and Robin played Woof Days. These are a two player card games that are quite easy to learn and simple to play again and again! Both of the games are created by Farplace, an animal rescue, with the money raised from these cards going towards the care of various rescue animals. They also have a board game we previously reviewed.

Playing with cats at Katzentempel

Playing with cats at Katzentempel

Dann and I go to Germany each and every year, specifically to Cologne, for Gamescom as apart of our day jobs. We’ve basically done everything we could possibly go or so we thought! This year, Dann surprised me by finding a new place; Katzentempel Koln, which is a vegan cat cafe, right in Cologne. I absolutely love cat cafes and have been to a few in London. You do not need to pre-book, so we went along in the afternoon during one of the days we were there.

Unicorn Scarf - Perfect for Cold Evenings

Unicorn Scarf – Perfect for Cold Evenings

Posted on by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted products] Robin is a lover of accessories. If something is cute, functional and fun, she likely wants it! When she saw the Unicorn Scarf from Wicked Uncle, she was all over it. We go out to Christmas All Wrapped Up each year, and Robin really wanted to do a little photoshoot there while picking out our Christmas tree. As it gets colder, having a scarf is such a fun idea, especially if the scarf is sort of like a plushie that you get to wear on your neck.
