Christmas at Kew Gardens – Art focused Light Trail

We are big fans of Wintertime Light Trails in our house! Kew Gardens always has tons of fantastic events on as well. We’ve been to their Halloween at Kew Gardens event and their Orchid Festival around Valentine’s Day, but wanted to see how their Wintertime Light Trail would be. This light trail is one of the more expensive ones, but also has Christmas in the name; Christmas at Kew Gardens. Everyone was pretty excited for opening weekend, so we headed into London, opting for a ticket that had included parking for the convince of things.

Experiencing AMAZE and all of it’s Wonder

Dann and I had not been to Amsterdam together before and did have a few different boxes to tick. One thing we really enjoy going to are immersive experiences. Molly and Husky, two of our friends, recommended AMAZE to us – as they went last time they visited and really enjoyed it. So, of course, we booked it up! We did add on the cocktail to our tickets, which does make their signature cocktail half price, if you are interested in that sort of thing! We then arrived for our timeslot, put our items in the free-to-use lockers, and waited in the lounge for our times. We were given some AMAZE tokens, which indicate which group you are in. It’s worth noting we went on a Wednesday morning, so the group sizes were on the small side.

Having Fun at London MCM Comic Con x EGX

[Ad- gifted experience] Every year, we go to London MCM Comic Con, and this year both Amelia and Kai had the day off of school, making it a fun event with the teens! MCM Comic Con has, in the last few years, added a gaming section called EGX, which features a bunch of games to go along with all of the different shops, stalls, and geeky things that Comic Con has to offer. This year, we went on both Friday with the teens and then Sunday just as Dann and I, to do some more shopping and explore some games.

Halloween Wreath Cupcake Class with Sweet Designs by Jennie

It’s spooky season, so it only makes sense that Sweet Designs by Jennie has a cupcake class perfect for a Halloween Party. Each month, Amelia and I go to these cupcake decorating classes as a bit of mother-daughter bonding. It’s been roughly a year since we started going, so we were hyped to see these Halloween Wreath designs, as wreaths are quickly becoming our favorite types of classes.

Pumpkin Nights at Hatter’s Farm

We have been pumpkin picking at Hatter’s Farm every year for the last four years, as it’s one of our absolute favorites! This year, for the first time, we decided we wanted to see Pumpkin Nights at Hatter’s Farm – mainly as Amelia was really interested in the differences from the daytime. So, one evening in October, we all headed over there, even though we had been there during the day. As such, this will primarily focus on the differences between the day and the night! At Pumpkin Nights, you can still get a pumpkin, eat a a smaller selection of the food trucks, and explore the corn maze, however, we had already done those things so focused on what was specific for the night time.
