Spring Wreath Cupcake Course with Sweet Designs by Jennie

Posted on April 4, 2025 by Jupiter

If you have been reading along for a while, you’ll know Amelia and I go to a little mother-daughter cupcake decorating class each and every month. Last month, we went towards the very end, to attend one of the wreath cupcake classes. Sweet Designs by Jennie doesn’t do too many wreaths – they are sort of bigger classes – though she has mentioned she will be designing and adding more, which is exciting. The wreath cupcake courses have us decorating 10 cupcakes each, instead of 6, which is a lot of fun!

Exploring the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao

Posted on March 27, 2025March 27, 2025 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted experience] Back in 2020, I visited the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, but as with any museum, a lot of the exhibitions have changed. The Guggenheim Museum is a beautiful building, both inside and out. The outside looks like scales of metal, with different statues and structures around the outside. At the front, there is a giant dog covered in flowers, at the back a large spider creature and a bunch of silver balls all stacked up on top of each other. Just going around the outside is beautiful. At the time that I went to the museum, there were a lot of fantastic exhibitions to take a look at as well.

Exploring Loch Ness on the Loch Ness Cruise

Posted on March 24, 2025April 2, 2025 by Jupiter

While staying in Fort Augustus at The Highland Club, Dann and I were right on the Loch Ness. If you somehow were unfamiliarly with Loch Ness specifically, it’s rumored to have a monster living in the lake, which has always been a really interesting myth. Hoping to learn more about Loch Ness and to see some beautiful views of the lake itself, we booked up the Loch Ness Cruise, which boarded right outside our accomidation.

Seeing Illusions at the Twist Museum

Posted on March 19, 2025March 31, 2025 by Jupiter

After exploring the Paradox Museum and having a fantastic time, we decided to check out the Twist Museum, as it’s meant to be similar. The Twist Museum is in central London, where you enter and explore a bunch of illusions, learning how they work and taking photographs of what you discover. This venue did have more illusions technically, but it felt like less were interactive and the layouts themselves were also a little clustered and crowded.

Night Away at Luton Hoo Hotel

Posted on March 13, 2025March 27, 2025 by Jupiter

As a birthday gift, Dann booked a night at Luton Hoo Hotel, which is a large, historical manor, with a spa! Everything that I really want in a day of relaxation. We spent a night in the hotel, went to the spa for quite a large amount of time, roamed the grounds, and ate dinner at the manor. This was quite a relaxing experience and we very much enjoyed a night to ourselves, away from work.

Luton Hoo Hotel

When staying at the Luton Hoo Hotel, you can stay in the manor or you can stay in the nearby building which is basically touching the spa. Due to wanting to make the most of the spa, we very much wanted to be nearby instead of in the main building. We did spend some time roaming the manor, which had sitting rooms, lots of different historical items, and beautiful tapestries. There was a bar here and it’s where the meals are served. You can easily take a car (they drive you the 5 minute journey down the road) to the house we were staying at.
