Piped Flowers Class with Sweet Designs by Jennie

Amelia has expressed interest in spending more one on one time with me, since becoming a teenager. She has different interests then Kai and Robin, so we’ve been going to things together that entertain both of our hobbies. The latest activity she wanted to try out was the Piped Flowers Class with Sweet Designs by Jennie. Amelia is always in the kitchen with me, but much prefers baking to cooking, so decorating felt like the natural next thing.

Visiting the Naze Nature Discovery Centre

Walton-on-the-naze is a nearby beach area that has a massive park that our children enjoy, so when I saw the Kite Festival happening at Naze Nature Discovery Centre, it felt like a good excuse to get beachside at the start of the summer holiday! Each year, the Naze Nature Discovery Centre hosts a kite festival, that allows many people to come and hang out at the centre, viewing kites that get lifted in a special kite zone and flying your own kites outside as well. There is a kite decorating course, however due to how busy our day was, we weren’t sure what time we were going to arrive for the kite festival so didn’t book it up. This activity is quite affordable, but I would recommend booking ahead and making sure you are there for your time slot!

WE ARE PHOTO meet-up in Harlow Town Park

I have been tinkering around more with my camera, especially since picking up some new lenses! My favorite thing to take pictures of tends to be flowers, getting close up to their pedals when it comes to the morning walk to school or when out and about. I also quite like taking pictures of food, but that’s likely because I just love cooking too. I’ve had a lot of fun taking more pictures of my family as well, which I’ve been featuring around our blog.

Harlow Chinese School Cooking Course – Sesame Prawn Toast and Satay Sticks

Dann and I absolutely have loved the last few cooking classes we attended at the Harlow Chinese School! This was the last cooking course for the school year, so we were excited to learn how to make some Sesame Prawn Toast and Satay Sticks – and there were some surprise side dishes that we got to have as well. This cooking course is really casual with a big focus on fun and exploring new foods. Sesame Prawn Toast and Chicken Satay Sticks are really classic party food in England, so it was fun to make our own.

Exploring HMV Harlow’s Care Bears Selection to find Bedtime Bear

[Ad- gifted product] Though Robin is a very brave girl and doesn’t need a bedtime night light, she does love new plushies and enjoys space themed items so much. When we went to HMV in Harlow to check out their Care Bear collection, she fell in love with the Bedtime Bear Glowing Belly Care Bears Plush, which is limited edition and only had two in stock. This bear is such a big upgrade from the Care Bears of my childhood!
