Cravendale Challenge

This post is an entry for BritMums #MilkDrinkersMilk Linky Challenge, sponsored by Cravendale.

I recently took up BritMums latest challenge #MilkDrinkersMilk with Cravendale to write about our family’s favourite way to drink Cravendale milk. For us, we use milk in so many different ways, like making a cup of tea or coffee, dunking a favourite biscuit into warm milk, drinking it cold with their favourite chocolate straw, making milkshakes, breads, soups and many more.

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!

Breville Blend Active Review

Recently, I tried out the Breville Blend Active to make delicious and nutritious smoothies for my family. I have to say I am very impressed with it being so easy to use and would highly recommend it to anyone. With the bottles as the main body, it is easy to turn the right way up, pop on the lid and bring out. It is also very easy to clean which is a plus point! I hate washing my old blender which is bulky and takes up a lot of kitchen space.

OXO Herby Salmon Fillet

We were thrilled to take part in #OXOHerbsAndMore Kitchen Magician project to try out OXO’s new range of Herbs & More flavours as well as using their recipe magic cards! OXO Herbs & More are all about the perfect pairings of herbs and flavour reductions, conveniently sealed into little pots for freshness to add to your family meals.

Creative Breakfast with belVita

“This post is an entry for #MorningWin Linky Challenge sponsored by belVita Breakfast.

Breakfast is something I always like to have and we always make sure that both children have their breakfast too. Even if they are late for school, I will bring their cereal bowls to eat in the car (without milk). Having breakfast is definitely the best way to start our day!

A2 Milk Review

Recently, I went to attend Britmums live 2014 and was very pleased to meet the representative of A2 milk. Not only did I broaden my knowledge about blogging, I also learnt that there are different types of proteins in milk including ones called A1 and A2. Regular dairy cows produce milk that contains both the A1 and A2 proteins. I never knew!

42 days Summer Activities

“This post is an entry for 42 Days of Summer Linky Challenge sponsored by McVitie’s BN.”

I recently signed up with Britmums to participant in this 42 Days of Summer Linky Challenge with McVitie’s BN biscuits. As part of the challenge, I received a packet of new BN biscuits in chocolate and in raspberry flavours. I had not seen or tried them before. They are a very new biscuit to me but according to some of my blogger friends, BN had been in the UK market before. I wish I had known about them earlier – they are so delicious! Both of my children adore the chocolate flavour. In fact, the children and I managed to finish the whole pack before Mr C had a chance to try one! Oops! Each biscuit comes with a cheeky wink which looks appealing. The biscuit is very crunchy and smells gorgeous. I would recommend them and personally will be buying them again.

I have been to BritMums live 2014

It’s been 12 months in the planning, but I’ve finally been to attend the Britmums live event this weekend! I bought the Britmums early bird ticket to make sure that I attended as I had always heard that the blogging conference was a superb event! So the day arrived and on Friday, I travelled alone to London Euston and managed to meet up with a couple of bloggers there. Arriving at the Brewery where the conference was held just before the event and there were already a huge group of people milling around there.

NatWest Mobile Banking App Review

When I first came to the UK, the first current bank account that I opened was with NatWest and I have stayed with them throughout.  Being their customer for 10 years, I’ve had a lot of good experiences with them.  I have no doubts I will stay with them for the foreseeable future.  They might not have the best interest rate but their customer service and online banking are what continues to impress.

Quick Sprinkle with OXO Shake & Flavour

Occasionally I have to cook three to four individual meals for my family. I am the only one who eats hot and spicy food while the rest don’t.  Ms C is very picky and fussy!  She only likes plain food with a limited selection of vegetables. Mr C and Mr K loves their meats, particularly a nice roast.

I am lucky to be picked to test out a range of OXO Shake & Flavours.  I see these as being a great time saver in cooking individual meals!

Banana Cake with Morrisons

Morrisons invited several BritMums bloggers to become a #MorrisonsMum (or #MorrisonsDad!) and to go into their local store and spend £80 worth of vouchers on their bank holiday shop.  We were really fortunate to get picked!

We are no strangers to Morrisons as they are my fortnightly shop especially for Fuji apples and poultry.  I like their fresh meat counter as they are British meat and of course their meat is endorsed by Red Tractor.

belVita Breakfast #MorningStories

I have two children who wake up without fail before 7.30 am but I am lucky that they will play with their iPad, play together or with their toys and don’t disturb my husband and I while we sleep on.  Then at 8 am, I will tell them it is tell to go down to have their own breakfast.
