Cuisine & Culture the Chinese Family Way
In the past few months, I have hosted a few birthday parties and would like to share a few Birthday party game ideas that I found on the internet. I always use Canva to make a slide deck for the presentation/game and cast it onto our television. I have also attached a PDF for you to download to print off the tables to use.
Last week, we went to the VICTA summer family weekend at Kingswood, Colomendy with our buddy dog, Mabel. This was our second time participating in these activity weekends organised by VICTA. The first time we went was last year at Dearne Valley.
Now the sun is out, is your garden looking rather sad at the moment? Are you itching to make plans for your garden for entertaining this summer? If yes, here are a few ideas you could consider to get your garden summer ready for your guests, before dragging out the garden furniture and making the most of whatever outdoor space you have.
I first came across wild garlic when I won a vegetable box through a local food and vegetable business ten years ago. Since then, my husband is always looking out for it but it’s not something you find in your local supermarket.
Recently, I have used Washi tape to create these amazing geometric designs to update my cupboard doors. In fact, updating the furniture has been on my mind for many months but I had put it off. I finally mustered the courage to work on it and I’m really happy with the result. It is so affordable and the results are amazing.
Can furniture with wooden table legs make the dining room homely?
Furniture is a nice addition to the interior of any room. For many, wooden furniture is an association with the past and even a kind of muveton. But with the emergence of various new styles of interior wooden furniture has become more popular. Therefore, even wooden table legs can give additional charm and have become top sales among all furniture stores. Let’s try to figure out when such furniture can have a positive effect on the interior.
Earlier this week, I went down to Guide Dogs National Centre, Warwickshire, for a parent’s workshop and had a tour around the National Centre facilities. The tour was a behind-the-scenes look at how every guide dog begins their journey. We also got to see some of their puppies from the viewing platform as they eat, sleep and play.
For the most part, garages are designed to house cars; however, using a garage every day is impractical. If you don’t use your garage for your car, then it also frees it up for other uses, like storage or even using it as another room to extend your living space. Building a carport for your vehicles makes a lot more sense, it is far easier than using a garage, and it can also add value to your property. Keep reading to learn more.
Swiss brand Geomag has recently released a brand new range called E-Motion, which helps learn all about invisible forces, such as acceleration, magnetism, gravity, propulsion and friction. There are three sets to collect: Blister, Display and 32. I have received the E-Motion 32 set to review.
Thanks to this Newton’s Lab Make Your Own Catapult kit from Kikkerlandeu.com, this Easter half term, we have been having fun catapulting lots of treats to our buddy dog Mabel. Through this kit, we have been learning about Newton’s first law of inertia and gravity by making our own catapult. Then we measured how far projectiles land and plotted the variations on a graph chart.
Some of you may know that we had Mabel since October 2020. She is our daughter’s buddy dog from Guide Dogs. I have not blogged or told many people about Ms C’s eye condition. It took us many years before we had a diagnosis for her in December 2019. It was not promising for her and then we had the Covid lockdown situation so it was a tough year for her. She had to miss most of her year 6 and jump into year 7 in a new school with none of her primary school buddies. Then with more lockdown and isolation, she had to miss a lot of school.
This half term, we have been busy building this awesome gravity elevator vertical motor using Geomag Mechanics range pieces. This vertical motor does not require batteries, but just a simple push, it will harness the invisible forces of magnetism and gravity to create chain reactions.
Come and discover the world with Science Mad! Science Mad offers children real scientific equipment and kits with real working features that will inspire curiosity and fun ways of learning. We were thrilled to receive these two amazing products for review: the Planetarium Star Globe and Chemistry Lab.
We are no strangers to the Geomag Mechanics range as we have previously reviewed the magnetic race track system. This outstanding gravity magnetic track harnesses the invisible forces of magnetism and gravity to create chain reactions for never-ending surprises.
This coming Father’s Day, why not treat your loved ones to this ultimate gift – Haynes 4 Cylinder Engine with augmented reality features for car enthusiasts and budding petrol heads! You get to build this awesome working engine featuring real engine roars with the authentic Haynes Build Your Own Engine sets.
