Bring Barny to Scotland

This post is an entry for BritMums ‘Winter Little Adventures Challenge’ sponsored by Barny, individually wrapped bear-shaped sponges with a hidden filling. Find out more about Barny here.

Last year, Ms C took Barny out to explore the nature in autumn where she went on to look for insects. We have tried their chocolate and milk flavour. Now they come in two new delicious flavours: Apple and Strawberry filling. It is a sponge cake with a hidden flavoured filling. They come in a multipack of 5 single packs (5 x 30g) which is great to take out in a lunch box or as a quick snack as they are individually wrapped. They are not suitable for people who have allergies to wheat, gluten, soya, milk, eggs or nuts. They do not have artificial colours or preservatives.

Exploring the Nature in Autumn

The intrepid Ms C loves to go exploring. However, short on time today and without the benefit of daddy C chauffeuring her around, she had to make do with exploring the garden. She was on the hunt for garden wildlife and before long, she spotted some sparrows hiding in the trees through her binoculars. Then a few brazen pigeons swooped in and sat on the fence, probably looking for a free lunch.

Kids Grow Wild Challenge

Both of my children love gardening. They always want to help me water the plants and pull up weeds. Now the weather is getting warmer, it is the perfect time to get out into the garden to give it some TLC. Last year, we planted broad beans directly in the soil but it was eaten by slugs as they began to grow. This year, I bought a seed tray to help our flowers grow first before we re-plant them.

LG GS5163AVLZ American-Style Fridge Freezer

I have had this LG GS5163AVLZ American Style Fridge Freezer for over a couple of weeks now. My first impression is that I really like the ice and water dispenser which requires no plumbing. My old American Style fridge freezer needed to be plumbed and needed to change the water filter every 6 months which was a bit troublesome. Besides spending extra money to buy the water filter, installing the water filter felt like a chore as you needed to prime the water tube until the water ran clear.

Baby and Toddler Event

So what does Mr K want to be when he grows up?

He said he wants to be a diver like Tom Daley. He was inspired after watching Tom at the Olympic 10 m Individual Platform and Synchro Diving competitions. He has been practising jumping every day and he is pretty good at it!

This is his drawing of him diving.
