Beauty and The Beast Pantomime at Hertfordshire Studios

Now, it’s not often that our teenager asks to go to something. He’s in his grumpy, teen-age-era, as most 16 year old boys are. However, after going to a bunch of plays with Amelia and Robin, Kai announced he wanted to go to a panto. There wasn’t much notice at all, but we jumped at him wanted to attend something, so we went to see Beauty and The Beast Pantomime at Hertfordshire Studios.

There’s a Monster in Your Show at Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch

[Ad- gifted experience] We often go to the Queen’s theatre Hornchurch to see a number of plays throughout the year. They’ve got one auditorium, where their stage is front and centre. It’s a fantastic venue, always full of life. Before going in, they’ve got a little children’s book and play area, a cafe and a bar on the other side. Often, Dann and I go to shows for older audiences in the evening, but during the Easter break, we went to see There’s a Monster in Your Show with Robin and Amelia. Robin use to have the Monster in Your Books, back when we did bedtime reading, and was excited to see a show all around these characters.

Easter Fun at Lush Chelmsford Easter Party

Last Easter holiday, we spent a lot of time at Easter Trails in Essex. This time, we wanted to do some fun activities that were Easter themed, but not trails out and about. So, we went along to the Lush Chelmsford Easter Party! They actually do a bunch of different party events throughout the year. We have seen a few of them and know people that went to them, but have never ended up booking up one for ourselves. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, but everyone was in good spirits to try something new – even Kai, the most teenager of the bunch.

Funky Foods Cupcake Class with Sweet Designs by Jennie

Every month Amelia and I go to Sweet Designs by Jennie‘s cupcake class, often going to one of the newer designs! Jennie creates new designs monthly, with so many different ones to choose from. Amelia and I always have a fantastic time creating cupcakes, chatting with others, and learning new decorating techniques. As always, we showed up for our class and all of the cakes were already baked. Our fondant was set out, along with tons of tools, and we got right to it!
