An Aussie Adventure
Hi all, I’m blogging to you all the way from Australia thanks to International Blog Swap Day hosted by Digital Parents and Tots100, oh and of course Eileen from ET Speaks from Home.
As a Nutritionist, Personal Trainer and Mum I blog on just about everything health, fitness and parent related – The Kids Menu. This weekend the kids and I had planned a trip to the local Botanical Gardens and I thought it was not only a great opportunity to get the children outdoors but also a perfect way showcase some beautiful Australian bush to you.
Mr. Men Collection from The Works
Both of my children love to read Mr. Men and often borrow it from their school library. Having a personal set of the Mr. Men collection has always on their wishlist. It’s nice to know that The Works do sell them individually and as a set as to buy individually will cost much more than that. Each book costs £2.50 each and so it works out much cheaper to buy it as a box set for £39.99.

They are currently trading via 21 stores across the UK, regular mail order catalogues and a fully transactional and secure website. They offer fantastic value for money with 30 – 50 % off high street prices.

Having family time during Easter Holidays!
This year Easter, we didn’t have any plans except having plenty of family time. It has been a very busy year for Mr C with his work and holidays tend to be ‘staycations’ at the moment! So we have used these long weekends playing games at home. Also we are not Christian hence we don’t celebrate with family or friends.
It was such a perfect day to play football and badminton with the kids! Mr K loved playing football with Mr C while I did a bit of gardening and Ms C loves playing on the swing. We are very proud of her as she is able to get up on the swing and swing by herself now. She was unable to do so a couple of months ago but one day she just got it!
OtterBox Defender Series iPad Review
I have been using an iPad for a number of years and during that time, I have always kept an eye out for a better iPad cover. There have always been a good range of covers available but I have yet to find the perfect cover. From personalised to multi-use covers, I have tried most of them. One brand I hadn’t tried but was been intrigued by was OtterBox, after seeing a friend use it for their iPhone. They are well known for their hard wearing, durable protecting covers.

TOMY Popping Penguin Island Review
Bath time is always fun time for my children. They love having playing with their rubber duckies, plastic cups, Disney princess make up set and mermaid to play with. This Autumn/Winter, TOMY will launch a new range of bath toys for endless fun in the bath for the children. Do look out for them.
Presently, TOMY have just last month launched the Popping Penguin Island which is suitable for 18 months and onwards. It is a colourful and fun floating island featuring four different coloured penguins with matching colour pads. It required 3 AAA batteries which are not included in the box. Once the batteries are installed, it is ready to go as there is no on/off button on the island.
HealGel Eye Lift-Brighten Revive Review
Last month, I read about HealGel Eye over at The Brick Castle and was amazed with her results. Therefore I was so pleased when I was contacted by HealGel to try out their amazing products too. Besides HealGel Eye, they also have HealGel Face which helps keeps skin calm, hydrated and revitalised. If you like to know more, do pop over to Mummy of Two as she had reviewed it.
