Pretty Suds June 2021 Bath Bomb Box | Review

Posted on August 8, 2021November 14, 2024 by Jupiter

When it comes to bath bombs, I always am excited to get my Pretty Suds box! They have gone through quite a few changes over the year and a bit that I have been subscribed, so I am always delighted and interested in my box. For June, the theme was Desert Island – something quite tropical and hot which reflects the time of year really. This month’s box had quite a few really large bath bombs, many of which were quite colorful as well. I love the size and smell of these – and the descriptions were on point on the included card! Along with the five inside the box, I also seem to have gotten two mystery bombs added to my box. As always, these bombs are made in Yorkshire, different each month, and always really lovely!

A New Style of Ball Juggling with the Pindaloo toy

Posted on August 7, 2021August 27, 2024 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted product] Some toys I understand more than others, from the start. It’s easy to tell how to play with a doll or how to put together a puzzle, but when we saw the Pindaloo, we were curious, wondering exactly how this toy was played with. The Pindaloo is actually a really simple ball game, where you are looking to sort of throw and catch a ball in a curved pipe, building up momentum to juggle the ball in and out of this tube. It’s a simple idea, but it does take quite a bit of practice to master. Thankfully, there are tons of YouTube videos to help you get to grips with the toy.

Ocean Beach Cafe, Bar and Bistro | Restaurant Review

Posted on August 5, 2021July 8, 2024 by Jupiter

We love going to the beach! The kids love being in the water, they love the sand, and we have basically made it so we can pack up for the beach and unpack afterwards in under and hour. This includes making lunch, packing up all our towels and beach toys, and getting water shoes on! Now that restaurants are back open, we figured we’d try some out near Shoeburryness, our favourite beach of choice. Our first adventure was to the Ocean Beach cafe, bar and bistro.

KiwiCo Tinker Crate – Crane & Pulley | Review

Posted on July 31, 2021August 29, 2021 by Dann Sullivan

It’s been another month, so we’ve now received and completed our third KiwiCo Tinker Crate. Following on from the Spin Art Machine and Walking Robot boxes was a Crane and Crank machine to build, and an accompanying booklet titled Pulley Power. As with the previous two, there’s always a scientific element to these, and this one is grounded in the transferal of energy and physics.

Kid’s Against Maturity – a funny card game | Review

Posted on July 22, 2021August 27, 2024 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted product] It’s no secret that we play a lot of board games at our home. Dann and I have a regular board game night, with all of our friends, every other week. The children, seeing and being surrounded by our board game collection, have taken an interest in board games, finding family favorites like the Minecraft Board Game and Flip Out, a game about flipping pancakes. So, when we went to Smyth’s to find Kid’s Against Maturity, they were delighted, and eager to point out all of the board games from Smyth’s that we have already played.
