Spring Bento Box Cupcake Class with Sweet Designs by Jennie

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

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

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

[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.

Playing Pinball at Arcade Archaeology

Dann is a big fan of pinball and has been for quite some time. While exploring a mall local to my hometown, we saw Arcade Archaeology – which was closed at the time. Thankfully, we messaged them and they agreed to open on a day of the week they are normally shut to let us in! Arcade Archaeology is a primarily pinball venue that’s set up like a museum. It’s a non-profit, ran by volunteers, who all very much love pinball.
