Every month, Amelia and I do a little mother-daughter bonding at a cupcake class! This time,. Sweet Designs by Jennie had a new design for us to all try out. We actually have been going for roughly a year now, which is absolutely wild, and she is still coming up with new classes for us to do. This specific set of six cupcakes were actually a custom order from last year, that someone asked for, and Jennie felt it would make a good class design! We’ve been doing bouquets and wreath classes previously, so having just six to do was a shorter class then we’ve had as of late.

[Ad- gifted experience] At the end of each year, Robin’s school has a massive, all classes trip where everyone in the school goes together to have a big, end of year experience. This is the second year that Dann and I both have been accepted as volunteers, welcome to enjoy the trip and day with Robin! It’s so much fun to get a day just with her and to see her interact with all of her school friends. She’s such a kind individual, and that really comes out when she’s in her school element. This year, the trip was to Colchester Castle Museum, which started outside the museum at the park.

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.

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!
