Wrapping Ukulele Challenge

Wrapping Ukulele Challenge! Wrapping presents are a big part of Christmas and sometimes certain objects can be difficult to wrap such as bicycles, bottles, golf clubs, etc. Rather timely, I recently reviewed this awesome perfect wrapping gift idea book so have been able to put it into practise.

Happy by Pharrell Williams Book Review

The “Happy” hit number one on Billboard’s Hot 100 list, which topped the charts in more than seventy-five countries worldwide has now come to life in a picture book! This is Pharrell Williams’s very first picture book. He brings his beloved song to the youngest of readers with photographs of children across different cultures celebrating what it means to be happy.

Elektrokidz Review

Elektrokidz are a massive success in the US and now they have landed in the UK! They have made star appearances across the net, on music shows and at celebrity events. They are the first ever music-inspired collectables that dance to the beat of the music you are listening to!

Thunder Chocolate Kisses ‘65

Recently, I came across the Bake in Black cookbook which was written by a musician and a food journalist in East London. They started started life as a blog from a kitchen and took a song or an album title which then inspired them to create a recipe. It draws influence from the world of rock and heavy metal to create awe-inspiring edible tributes in the kitchen. There are more than 60 sweet indulgences in this cookbook.

Summer Activities A – Z: V, W, X, Y and Z

Can’t believe that autumn is almost finish and I am still trying to finish writing up my summer activities post! For these activities, I combined them all as they are quite hard to match the letters. This is what we did!

André Rieu Waltz Party

A few months ago, I applied to host an André Rieu’s Week of the Waltz Party via Come Round and was lucky to be picked to host it. Last Tuesday, I received two parcels. Inside there were André Rieu masks, eye masks, pens, a poster, banner, snacks and along with three sample discs.

My Desert Island Discs Playlist, assuming there are batteries!

Some of you may know that I love Korean TV drama and their K-pop music genre. So please forgive me if I bore you with my huge selection of K-pop. In case you’re wondering, K-pop means Korean Pop music!

I have been tag by Sally Whittle to do my Desert Island Discs playlist – read her choices here. I have to admit that I had not heard of some of her song choices before so it is nice to discover new music.

Shrek The Musical Boardway

If you have not watched Shrek before, read this to understand it better: Shrek is a grouchy, terrifying green ogre who loves the solitude in his swamp, finds his life interrupted when many fairytale characters are exiled into his swamp by order of the fairytale-hating Lord Farquaad. Shrek tells them that he will go ask Farquaad to send them back. Farquaad tortures the Gingerbread Man into giving the location of the remaining fairytale creatures until his guards rush in with something he has been searching for: the Magic Mirror. He asks The Mirror if his kingdom is the fairest of them all but is told that he is not even a king. To be a king he must marry a princess and is given three options, in a parody of The Dating Game: Cinderella, Snow White, and Princess Fiona, from which he chooses Fiona, who is locked in a castle tower guarded by lava and a dragon. Shrek fights a fearsome dragon, rescues the princess and learns that real friendship and true love aren’t only found in fairy tales.

Headphone Review: Black Bassbuds

It has been three weeks since I started using these stylish and beautiful Black Bassbuds earphones. They are comfortable and the quality of the sound is excellent. They make a great upgrade to the usual manufacturer supplied headphones found with your phone or iPod etc.

BassBoomz Bluetooth Speaker

Technology has improved so much over the years. There is always something new in the market. Mr C is always interested in his sound system. We bought a home cinema speaker bar and upgraded to full surround sound. He even bought a clip on speaker for his laptop to get better sound and some fancy noise-cancelling headphones for travelling so we have embraced a lot of technologies in this household.

Making Music

Making Music by using four wine glasses (this is all we had) and a jug of water. We filled the glasses with different quantities of water. Then I asked the children to wet their finger tips and rub against the rim of the glasses. It makes a beautiful sound.
