Seeing the Mountains from above with Sunkiss Ballooning

Posted on June 16, 2026June 16, 2026 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted experience] Growing up in the Adirondacks, I have always seen balloons floating about, over the mountains. Dann and I have also taken our children to a few different balloon festivals in the United Kingdom, including the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta, but none of us have ever ridden in the basket of a hot air balloon that has left the ground. So, Dann and I were extremely excited to get a private tour of the beautiful mountain tops in a hot air balloon with Sunkiss Ballooning.

Spring Bento Box Cupcake Class with Sweet Designs by Jennie

Posted on June 10, 2026June 10, 2026 by Jupiter

Every month, Amelia and I carve out some time to do a cupcake class. We’ve been doing this for well over a year now. It’s just such a lovely way to have one-on-one time with Amelia, and alongside that, we’ve become friends with a lot of the other regulars there and love doing little updates on our lives. Sweet Designs by Jennie is always creating new classes and designs, so there is always something new for us to look forward to creating. This was doubly so when she announced her new Bento Box Cupcake Classes, which have a few cupcakes along with a mini-cake within the box that we also got to decorate. This one was the Spring Bento Box Cupcake Class!

Golf and Soft Serve at Hillbilly Fun Park

Posted on June 9, 2026June 6, 2026 by Jupiter

I swear I have been eating ice cream at Hillbilly Fun Park since I was quite young. They have this custard-based soft server that I just very much enjoy, and there is always plenty of rainbow sprinkles! While Dann and I were visiting my family in upstate New York, I mentioned to my grandfather, Tyde, that we wanted to go for soft serve, so he picked us up and took us there. I got myself an orange twist, and Tyde said “want to play some mini-golf?” As it was a hot day, of course we did.

Eating Everything at Taste of Eataly Summer Edition

Posted on May 27, 2026May 24, 2026 by Jupiter

Dann and I love trying new food and food festivals. A work friend of mine, from a job we both freelance at, has been talking for over a year now about how both her and myself need to try oysters. This has become a bit of a thing, but as we don’t live near each other, we just haven’t sorted out the time. Until she started talking about Taste of Eataly, which allows you to try a bunch of different food, including oysters.

Exploring MCM Comic Con London 2026

Posted on May 25, 2026May 24, 2026 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted experience] Another year, another MCM Comic Con London! It feels like each time this comes around, at least one kid is out of school. We’ve had a day of just Kai, a day of Kai and Amelia, and this year we got a day of just Robin and a day of just Kai! On the Friday at MCM Comic Con London 2026, we took just Robin as she was the one without school that day. Kai had also asked to attend, so we decided to take him on the Sunday, as Dann and I always tend to go two days to get everything done.
