The Harlow Chinese School Cooking Class have started back up for the year, with the first one being Dumplings! The first class of the school year was packed, with everyone creating either boiled or fried dumplings with a meat or vegetarian filling. Dann and I went with the meat filling, which had meat in it, along with a specific flavoring packet that is sort of like a seasoned soy sauce, but less liquid.

We went to Cammas Hall earlier in the year for Strawberry Picking and more recently for their Pumpkin Patch, but were delighted when Amelia’s friend’s parents invited our family to the Cammas Hall Bonfire Night so that all of our kids could hang out and have a good time in the evening! We had not been before, however they had, and we were pretty excited to finally try all of the food carts there, as it felt like the perfect excuse to try out dinner at the venue. It’s worth noting this event is paid by car, not by person, and only happens for two days of each year.
Amelia has been so excited for the next cupcake class! We both go together, as daughter-mother time, each month. She picked the Spooky Cupcake Class for October, which felt very fitting and had some fantastic designs! Unlike the previous cupcake classes we have attended so far, these cupcakes all felt completely different in design. What I mean by that is, often, there are two cupcakes that are featured and unique, as well as two sets of two that are similar as sort of side cupcakes. Sweet Designs by Jennie releases her cupcake classes each month, with tons of new ones to choose from.

Dann and I actually went to Novo Lounge when it first launched, taking our children with us. We ended up having a bit of a chaotic time, particularly due to some picky eaters who weren’t really sure what they were ordering before it arrived. We’ve been back a few times to grab drinks during their happy hour, but decided to try them out again for dinner, with a friend of ours, after an evening of playing Pokemon Go. Novo Lounge has a lot of community activities going on; drag bingo, board game nights, and on this particular night there was salsa practice happening! It’s great to see a venue become such a staple in the community and fun that they run so many events.
We go to Cammas Hall every year and really enjoy their selection of pumpkins. They have an impressive set up of pumpkins and are always adding new features to their pumpkin patch. This year, highlights include a spooky and not-so-spooky walk, a bunch of Pumpkin picture areas, tons of different pumpkins, actors dressed up walking around, and a corn maze.
