Sometimes, you see advertisements for places and you think that maybe, maybe it’s too good to be true. Lots of things are over hyped, and when we got to the outside of the warehouse that Bubble Planet is in, with a bunch of primarily toddlers going in, I thought “oh wow, I have made a mistake”. Bubble Planet is an immersive experience where you can sort of learn about spheres and bubbles, but primarily experience and play in bubble related rooms.
As parents, we like to encourage all of our children’s interests. For Robin, that’s primarily gymnastics and playing guitar. For Kai it’s going to the gym and playing DnD, for Amelia, it’s arts and drumming. So, when our local art gallery announced the Harlow Open at Gibberd Gallery last year, we encouraged Amelia to pick out a photo and enter, though she didn’t make it in, she was mentioned and felt very proud of that!

[Ad- gifted experience] Dann and I got the chance to go along to Diggerland, which is a very unique amusement park. This place is aimed at either toddlers who really like construction materials or at adults that have always wanted to control big machines but have not had the space or time to do so. It’s an interesting idea; a big park full of different construction machines, plenty of spaces to use them, and some construction themed rides.
Dann and I both very much love a light festival. We go to as many as possible throughout the year, so of course we walked around Battersea to see the Battersea Light Festival again this year. They had a lot going on this year, with the Light Festival taking place during the February half-term, along with different free activities that families can take part in during the day, including stain glass making, painting and so much more. We just went for the light festival, but saw the signs for the other activities which did look like fun!
Amelia and I go to a cupcake decorating class every month, as a bit of mother-daughter time, and this month Sweet Designs by Jennie had a special Valentine’s Day class, the day before Valentine’s Day, so you can make a half dozen cupcakes to share with your loved one. This class, unlike a lot of the others by Sweet Designs by Jennie, only comes around once a year, so we were both pretty excited as we hadn’t made these before.
