Cakemart Online Bake Accessories Review

Recently, I came across MeinCupcake’s website and was very pleased with their online shopping experience. They have a huge range from baking equipment, baking ingredients to cake making supplies.

I am a very keen baker and like to bake at least once a week. I always find it hard to get all the items from one shop but Cakemart has it all. I love the brands that they stock like Dr. Oetker, Renshaw, Wilton, Kitchen Craft and many more. The website is easy to navigate with clear titles and categories. For each product, it will show you how many items are available online. One quirk I discovered though – some pages have not been translated from German to English as they are a German company with international web pages.

Cops and Robbers Board Game

Mr K is a very imaginative child who loves to invent little games and often comes up with lots of creative ideas. As a parent, we are always there to support and nurture him. So when we came across the BritMums Linky Challenge with Petits Filous, Mr K’s cogs started turning.

Petits Filous Magic Squares is a brand new range available in two delicious varieties, Strawberry & Vanilla flavour and Raspberry & Vanilla flavour. It comes with a unique quadrant shape of two distinctly different flavours. You can either taste one flavour at a time or totally mix it up. Petits Filous contains both calcium and vitamin  D which helps build strong bones. They are available nationwide from April 2015 from Sainsbury’s, Tesco and Asda at RRP £1.89. We bought one for £1 in Tesco. My son loves it!

Flamingo Gift – Unique Gifts for everyone

We love online shopping as it is the best way to avoid crowds and moaning children. In our experience children and shopping never mix well. Shopping online means we are able to have some additional time over the weekend to do more activities.

Shopping online ‘under one roof’ proves that it is not hard at all! Recently, I came across Flamingo Gift who sell a range of unique gifts online from home items to clothing for children.

5 Top Essentials for a Long Car Journey

Travelling in the car can sometime be quite stressful. So I always make sure we have these essentials in the car to try to make sure that my children can be comfortable in the car. My 5 and 7 year olds can be quite demanding in the car especially when it’s a long journey.

Madam Irma Watch Review

Want to teach your children to read the time in an easy and quick way? Madam Irma have developed a new concept/method to teach young children to tell the time! They will learn it in no time! Madam Irma watches targets children aged between 3 to 6, by using colours and animals to teach them the time.

When I first saw the watch online, I was not very convinced how this would work but to my surprise, both of my children aged 5 and 7, understood within minutes of using it. They both were thrilled when they saw the watches.

Equazen Eye Q Review

Equazen Eye Q is a health product for eyes that helps you to ensure you get your daily intake of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids. These essential fatty acids play a vital role in almost every part of our bodies, including the brain. This is not our first time using Equazen Eye Q as we used to mix the children’s milk bottle with the Equazen Eye Q liquid when they were toddlers. We find that mixing it into their milk was so much easier than trying to get them to drink it. Since both of them are not drinking via their milk bottles any more, we stopped and forgot about it.

For me, having good eye sight is the most important sense as sight opens your eyes to the world. I used to wear glasses but after having a laser eye operation, I can almost see with perfect sight. It gave me my life back. Waking up, I am able to see clearly straight away and swim so much comfortably.

My 5 year old daughter has mild colour blindness and visual impairment. So naturally, we want to keep her eye sight as healthy as possible and provide her with any opportunities for her sight to get better. So we give her these Equazen Eye Q children’s chew to give her a balanced diet.

Mother’s Day Gift Guide 2015

Since becoming a mother, I feel thrilled to celebrate this day together with my mother too. The cynics will say it is too commercialised but I do think that we, as mothers, should have a proper day to appreciate what we do for our children!

I came across MoonPig’s website and selected this beautiful bath set to pamper myself. Inside this bath set, it comes with Beau Jardin bathing flowers, Beau Jardin body lotion, Beau Jardin bath essence and a Lily Flame ‘Bathing Beauty’ large scented candle. This fabulous bath set contains everything you need to relax and drift away. The delicate, rose-perfumed bathing flowers transform the bath into a thing of beauty. What a fabulous indulgent treat!

BubbleBum Car Booster Seat Review

BubbleBum is a portable & lightweight car booster seat that you can take anywhere you go. It only weighs half a kilogram and it has a compact design that can be deflated and stored away neatly.

iPad Child Shock-Proof Case Review

For any parents whose children have access to an iPad, it is a common concern that their children might accidentally drop their iPad and scratch the screen or worse. Therefore, I am always on the look out for a good iPad case for my children. Mr K has been using a standard case with a Marvel Superheroes print that doesn’t provide much protection.

Professor Murphy Stunt Glider Review

This week, we have been building a glider with the build it yourself Professor Murphy Stunt Glider kit. Both of my children were so excited when they saw the box! They couldn’t wait to open it up and start building it.

JORD Wood Watches

Natural wood versus smartwatch. Natural wood wins! Not long ago, we came across JORD who are a wooden watches company and we fell in love with the notion of a timepiece that uses natural materials. Their watches look very unique and has proved to be quite the talking point.

Genuine Thermos King Flask Review

Last week, I was invited to attend the first-ever Genuine Thermos Brand Coffee Masterclass. Taking inspiration from the huge success of the ‘Overnight Coffee Challenge’ that took American coffee lovers by storm, I was invited to experience the remarkable heat retention capabilities of Genuine Thermos Brand Stainless King™ Vacuum Insulated Beverage Flasks.

They have partnered with the renowned Prufrock coffee house (in London) to allow for one-on-one engagement with the expert baristas to provide a truly immersive environment for an in-depth introduction to the perfect home brewed coffee and share some insider tips on how to buy better coffee – from decoding coffee bag label information to understanding just how important the quality of the beans really is. Besides that we also learnt how to froth the milk and make espresso! I have no clue in coffee tasting despite drinking a fair bit of coffee! It was a very interesting class from smelling to swirling to sipping the coffee with a loud noise (like eating a bowl of noodles). I am a sweet tooth and normally add a lot of sugar and milk into my coffee. Having to sip it as a black coffee almost killed my tongue! The aroma was great but too bitter to taste after tasting 10 different types of coffee. But it helped me to appreciate the different brands of coffee and where they are from play an important part too!

ZAZU SAM Sleeptrainer & Nightlight Review

Need an hour extra lie-in this weekend? Is your children getting up too early? We have found the perfect solution for Mr K who wakes up at 6.30 am every morning. We have trialled using a proper alarm clock but it didn’t work with him as the alarm is too loud and he can’t understand how to read the clock properly. He is six and their school has just started to teach them time.
