Crafting with Skoodle Magazine

[Ad- gifted product] We are a big household of crafters, especially when it comes to Robin! She does love drawing, painting, sculpting and so much more, but with her we do find that everything needs to be more structured due to her age. As she is seven, she often wants prompts and ideas to go along with, which is why the Skoodle Magazine is really perfect for those who have young ones that need guided play.

Trying Nepalese cuisine at The Gurkhas Restaurant

[Ad- gifted experience] I do not think I have ever had Nepalese cuisine before, so when Dann and I were invited to try some of the menu at The Gurkhas Restaurant, we both were pretty excited to try something so new to us! The Gurkhas was founded by Shrabaneswor Rai, who is Nepal born and is also the co founder of a few different restaurants in Islington. The head chef, himself, and his father-in-law were all inspired by the heritage of the Himalayas to create their menu.

A Day Out at Horrible Histories – Barmy Britain at Harlow Playhouse

We have very nearly seen every single Horrible Histories play. With just two left, when Horrible Histories – Barmy Britain was shown as playing locally, there was no way that we couldn’t attend! We’ve actually never been to the Harlow Playhouse before, as a family, and decided to invite along one of Kai’s friends. Since Kai’s friend was with us, he was pretty busy hanging out, and we didn’t end up getting a family photo – but that’s okay, as we did enjoy the performance so much – as did his mate.

Lunch and Cocktails at The Fizzy Tarte

When it comes to eating lunch, Dann and I are not big sandwich fans generally, if I am honest. Though, we were wanting something light and not too hot when the weather was wonderful, so we took at chance at The Fizzy Tarte – a gastro-pub looking place, which serves sandwiches, charcuterie boards and craft cocktails! The Fizzy Tarte does more than just lunch and brunch. They have master classes in cocktail making and afternoon tea if that’s your thing too.

Classic Reuben and Monte Cristo

Wubble is so much more than a normal ball

[Ad- gifted product] I feel like I have seen advertisements for the Wubble for years now. I am not sure why I have spent so long thinking it was just a giant ball, and that we had tons of those. Robin recently asked for a Wubble, as she told me it was much more than a ball, and something that is more like a bubble in texture, somehow. Though she is only seven and sometimes is not someone to completely trust, Robin was very right – the Wubble is much more than a ball.
