Good Face Bad Face requires a Poker Face

[Ad- gifted product] Our bi-weekly, family board game session, after school, at Geek Retreat featured Good Face Bad Face this time!

Dynamic Coins – Easy and Impressive Magic Kit

[Ad- gifted product] Robin and Amelia have been very interested in magic tricks since seeing a magician at Blog On earlier this year. Since then, we have been trying out various magic kits including the Dynamic Coins from Marvin’s Magic.

The Boathouse Restaurant – Beautiful Views of Loch Ness

While staying with Abbey Holidays at The Highland Club in Loch Ness, they recommended we eat at The Boathouse Restaurant, which is within view of the apartments that they rent. This little ma-and-pa style restaurant is one that has beautiful, stunning views of Loch Ness. The views themselves are enough to bring anyone to the area, but the food is also something we wanted to try and see if it lived up to the breathtaking views. The menu itself has a mix of Scottish food and Turkish food, as the owner is Turkish. I went for the Turkish options myself!
