Bring the movie to life with PAW Patrol The Movie: Adventure City Calls

[Ad- gifted product] Our household is full of gamers. With both Dann and I working full time in the video game industry, we tend to play a lot of games together. Though Kai is into games that the youngest can’t really play, we spend a lot of time compromising and playing games together. With such a big age gap, often we need to find games that Robin would enjoy playing – as she can’t get into strategy games. One of her favorites are PAW Patrol – probably due to loving the Pups and their TV show. Previously, we took a look at PAW Patrol: Might Pups, which Robin enjoyed, but with the new movie out, there of course, is a new game called PAW Patrol The Movie: Adventure City Calls.

Satisfying your sweet tooth with Panda Sweets

[Ad- gifted product] We all have a bit of a sweet tooth – and pick and mix is one of the most fun ways of trying out new candies, exploring new tastes, and otherwise enjoying something sweet. when I lived in the US, we didn’t have pick and mix shops as such – we had penny candy, but I tended to get all of one kind.

Ever since then, I have enjoyed pick and mix, and trying out different candies. Panda Sweets is a candy company that mails sweets right to your door – giving you a large variety of sweets to enjoy.

A Day Out at the Line Friends / BT21 x Artbox Cafe & Boutique

The Artbox Cafe & Boutique has changed their theme again, for the first time since lockdown, so we all really just had to go back! This cafe, if you don’t know, changes the theme of the characters, the menu, and all of the merch inside the boutique every few months, providing a new experience. These themes all based around Japanese characters and shows, showcasing cute and colorful creatures that bring a fantastic feeling to the place. Previously, we’ve seen the Pusheen theme, the Gudetama theme, and the spooky Gudetama theme, however, BT21 and Line Friends were new characters for me! Let’s get into what was on the menu. As always, we went with Claire who also write up the cafe on her blog, and this time she brought along her partner David!
