Spooky Cupcake Class with Sweet Designs by Jennie

Posted on October 29, 2024February 4, 2025 by Jupiter

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.

Lots of Tapas at Novo Lounge

Posted on October 25, 2024November 11, 2024 by Jupiter

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.

Picking Pumpkins at Cammas Hall

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.

Pumpkin Picking at Hatter’s Farm

Posted on October 16, 2024November 1, 2024 by Jupiter

We’ve been going to Hatter’s Farm every year for quite a few years now. Each year, they seem to get bigger and better than the last! They are known for their unique Pumpkin Cannon, that allows people to launch cannons at giant cut out board, which always feels very exciting. They also have a large pumpkin patch, a spook walk, face painting, tons of photo areas, a corn maze and actors walking around all dressed up. We actually went to Hatter’s Farm twice this year, as the first day we went we arrived a bit later than expected due to some plans shifting, so we didn’t end up getting to do everything that we wanted to do, so we decided to come back on a secondary day.

[Ad- PR Experience] Christmas is such a magical time of year and one that involves a lot of shopping. With that in mind, the British Garden Centre ran a press night to show off all of the new products and lines that they will be stocking all around the United Kingdom. We got to visit the Braintree centre for their Christmas event, seeing all of the items that they have to offer.
