Some weeks are all about big adventures, and others are more about the little everyday moments — and this one was a really lovely mix of both. From a rare midweek shopping date and mini golf with family, to self-care baths and a cosy Frozen movie afternoon, it felt like one of those gentle, feel-good weeks.
Here’s everything we got up to during our week of 16th – 22nd June.
A Midweek Shopping Date in Manchester 🛍️
On Tuesday, Lawrence and I headed into Manchester city centre for a rare midweek shopping date — something we don’t get to do very often without the kids!
Our first stop was Pop Mart, where I was on the hunt for Disney Princess blind boxes and Lawrence was hoping for Marvel ones. Sadly, nothing tempted us enough to buy this time, but it was still fun to browse.
We then popped into Primark and spotted the new Winnie the Pooh and Pixar collections — so cute and very tempting! But we were sensible and stuck to essentials:
Socks
Leggings for Alice
A Pokémon water bottle for Leo
I also had a little browse around Miniso and absolutely loved their Toy Story blind boxes and a pink handheld fan I nearly bought… but somehow managed to resist!
Lunch was a cheeky KFC, followed by a very dangerous stop at Krispy Kreme, where we picked up a box of 12 donuts for £12 — far too good to pass up. We ended our trip with a quick stop at B&M, then jumped on the tram home feeling very pleased with ourselves (and slightly sugared-up).
Editing, Tea & A Little Self-Care 🛁
Wednesday was much quieter and honestly quite needed after a busy day out. I stayed home catching up on video editing, drinking lots of tea and ticking things off my to-do list.
That evening, I treated myself to a long, relaxing bath using one of my favourite Lush bath bombs — the perfect midweek reset. There’s just something about a cosy bath that makes everything feel a bit calmer.
Mini Golf, Melting Weather & Costco Hot Dogs ⛳🌭
On Thursday, we headed to the Trafford Centre for a belated Father’s Day treat for my dad — a game of mini golf at Paradise Island Adventure Golf with my parents and brother.
We had such a laugh, even though I came joint last with Dad 😅 The only downside was the heat — it was so hot and there was no air conditioning, so we were all absolutely melting by the end!
After mini golf, we popped into ASDA to grab some white T-shirts for Alice, then headed to Costco where I couldn’t resist their legendary £1.50 hot dog and drink combo. Honestly, one of the best bargains going.
A Cosy Frozen Afternoon ❄️🎬
We ended the week on Sunday with a really cosy family afternoon at home, watching Frozen: The Musical on Disney+.
Alice and Leo were completely captivated, and I may (definitely) have sung along to Let It Go — again. It was such a simple, quiet way to finish the week, all snuggled up together on the sofa.
Final Thoughts 💛
This week felt like a really gentle, easy-going one — full of small treats, family time and cosy moments. From shopping and donuts, to mini golf and Frozen singalongs, it was one of those weeks that didn’t need anything big or dramatic to feel special.
Sometimes it’s the little everyday moments that really make a week feel lovely.
And as always… I’m already looking forward to the next adventure ✨
