May is a great time for Spring cleaning as the weather is getting warmer and the days are longer. I have been busy cleaning the outdoors with the Karcher K4 pressure washer and now I am freshening up the house using Zoflora with the help from OXO Good Grips mop!
I am so glad the weather is getting warmer. After a long hard winter, the stone patio path, wooden decking and driveway looks extremely dull. So armed with the Kärcher K4 Home Pressure Washer, it is an ideal time to clean away all the dirt that has accumulated.
The Kärcher K4 Pressure Washer combines power with an innovative water-cooled induction motor for enhanced performance and longer life. Our model also comes with the additional Home kit that includes a T350 patio cleaner and detergent.

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.

Two years ago, we discovered Heroes of the City and got in touch to review their app. They have been going from strength to strength and even have a movie on their YouTube channel.
For any of you who have not heard of Heroes of the City, they are a pre-school children’s television cartoon about rescue vehicles in a small town where everybody gets to be a hero! In the show, you get to meet Pauli Police Car and Fiona Fire Engine as they help the townspeople find thieves, put out fires and solve crime that happens in the otherwise quiet town. You will also get to know Calamity Crow, the most misunderstood bird in town. The cartoon is suitable for children aged 2 – 6.
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.

Did you know that this week is the National Stationery Week, starting from 27 April until 3 May 2015? It has been running for quite a few years and it aims to get people talking about stationery and writing more. As technology has become so advanced, it means less and less people write down notes and everything has gone digital.
I still remember I used to write my school projects by hand and cut out pictures from magazines or newspapers to stick it into my project. Times have changed and everything is typed up on a computer or tablet.
I still like to write whenever I can. I find that the more I write using stationery, the more I remember it. Writing helps improve memory but also great for those crosswords and sudokus!
