Enjoying Matilda the Musical at Cambridge Theatre

Posted on August 26, 2025September 5, 2025 by Jupiter

We have been known to very much enjoy a trip to the theatre, but occasionally we book up the larger productions that have their own set theatre in London. Using the Kid’s Theatre Week discount, a few years back, we saw Wicked the Musical. Since then, Amelia has asked about seeing Matilda the Musical in London. This year, we were lucky with the Kid’s Theatre Week queue and ended up booking Matilda the Musical at Cambridge Theatre.

A Week at Center Parcs Elveden

Posted on August 18, 2025August 18, 2025 by Jupiter

We’ve been to Woolacombe Bay, we’ve been to Great Yarmoth, Butlins and to many other holiday places, but I have always heard people talk about Center Parcs. Now that two of our children have hit the teenage age, we have decided to go for it and go to Center Parcs Elveden, which is the closest one to us, for an entire week long holiday! We booked in the middle area, so it was a ten minute walk from the center of the park, and made sure to stay on the side closest to the water park as it was clear that was where we’d be spending most of our time.

Experiencing Magic in House of Dreamers

Dann and I really enjoy going to places that feel like they might be made for Instagram – places that are a little different and out of the way. So, while in Paris, we wanted to check out the House of Dreamers. The House of Dreamers might have started off as a Barbie Experience, based on the amount of pink and the fun Barbie vibes, but now acts as a bunch of magical, mysterious rooms, many of which have different phrases that felt empowering and motivating, which was a really positive experience.

Unicorns & Rainbow Wreath with Sweet Designs by Jennie

Each month, Amelia and I have a little mother-daughter time going to a cupcake class in Essex, which is lead by Sweet Designs by Jennie. We’ve been going to a few different wreath classes, which are a more free-style cake decorating classes. Instead of a half dozen cupcakes, we decorate ten, and the idea is to make a bunch of little decorations and then add them wherever you want really! We started off the class, as usual, with all the cupcakes already baked and cooked and all of the frosting and fondant already out and ready.

Finding Colorful Penguins at Waddle-On-Sea

Posted on August 11, 2025August 25, 2025 by Jupiter

The weather has been fantastic lately, so we have been by the seaside! We went with our whole family on Friday, but our focus was collecting sea glass, having a picnic, and exploring arcades. While there, Dann and I spotted a few colorful penguins, so decided to come back on our own at the weekend so that we could find some more. We came along with one of our friends, as there was a Pokemon event on, so we could collect some seaside Pokemon and spot some penguins! This penguin trail was Waddle-On-Sea, a yearly event that takes place from the start of July until the start of September, providing a trail of Penguins throughout Southend-on-Sea and Leigh-on-Sea!
