Cuisine & Culture the Chinese Family Way
Whether you are looking to make your house feel more like a home by scattering photo prints of friends and family around, or you are a keen photographer who loves to get your favourite snaps printed, you may be faced with the frequently asked question: is bigger always better when it comes to photo prints?
Most people consider weddings to be very traditional fare. One of the biggest draws to weddings is that we embrace old traditions and cultural specialities that make each wedding unique. However, those traditions will eventually be replaced by new and modern alternatives that completely change the way we approach our big day. So in this post, we’ll be talking about some of the latest wedding trends that could change the look and feel of your wedding.
As a blogger, I take many photos and so I regularly look for new and better ways of making my photos stand out. One of the ways I like to do that is to make a pic collage for my blog for readers to pin via pinterest.
Over the last month, we have been taking part in the Mumsnet Instant Ink test, along with nine other bloggers, to try out this HP Envy 5540 printer for a month. As many of you will know, having a printer at home can allow you to get many things done. From printing money saving vouchers to photos and from printing copies of legal documents to children’s school work, we definitely can’t live without it in this household!
If you don’t already have a printer, you might be wondering what the costs of buying replacement ink cartridges are, but even if you do already have a printer, you might be curious how this HP Envy stacks up against yours. In fact HP have a really neat solution called HP Instant Ink which is a replacement service where the printer will know when it’s low on ink and will ship you new cartridges before you run out. You select your monthly price plan which includes the ink cartridges and delivery costs for as little as £1.99 per month and they take care of the rest.
Do you take and post a lot of photos on Instagram or other social media channels? Cheerz has a mobile app for Apple Store or Google Play and their website Cheerz.com from where you can upload photos straight from your phone/computer, Instagram, Facebook, Dropbox and more to create fun photo products like their signature Cheerz Box (a cute little box filled with 30-45 Polaroid-style Prints), photo booth-style strips, magnets, posters, and more.
We are thrilled to be part of the Vtech DigiGo Ambassador Campaign with tots100 and over the next three months, I will bring you some interesting news from Vtech.
We have received this Vtech DigiGo which is a hand held smart device for children aged 3 to 7. Both my children are pretty tech savvy and within minutes they knew exactly how to play it. It’s also helpful that we do own an InnoTAB 2 which we’ve had for a few years now.
Besides the usual features like taking photo and videos, playing learning games and using the multimedia player, this Vtech DigiGo allows your child to send and receive text or voice messages, photos, drawing and much more with (parent-approved) family and friends’ smartphone using the built in wireless connection.

This is one of the most exciting #CollectiveBias vlogging shops I have ever done. I am so proud of my Samsung K Zoom that I would like to share three of my favourite features on the camera. Last year, I received this Samsung K Zoom phone for review and until now it is still my favourite phone.
Each time we buy a gadget with a screen, the first thought is to get screen protector and casing to prevent the new gadget from damaged. There are so many brands on the market and it’s sometimes difficult to decide which one to choose from. I used to buy cheap screen protectors simply because they were cheap. However, they wouldn’t last very long and after seeing a few demonstrations at the gadget show, I have totally changed my mind. Cheap screen protectors do not give you adequate protection from impact damage.
A huge welcome to Week 17 of the Tuesday Tutorials Pintorials Pin Party! This week I am featuring three hanging crafts!
Both of my children always come back home with their school drawings which would be nice to pin up or frame. We often find that we have no wall or fridge space to spare to pin up their lovely drawings. Then I came across My 1st Years who specialise in personalised baby gifts and one of those gifts is this beautiful white A3 Personalised Art Frame.
Albelli have created a number of pre-designed photo books to suit all occasions, with styles like country retreat, vintage, native etc and occasions like wedding, baby, children etc. They bring together professionally designed backgrounds, text labels and clip art in coordinated styles. All pre-designed photo books include a photo cover and are printed in the Landscape L format (28 cm x 21cm).
Early April, Ms C went for her modelling job and now her photo has hit the shelves! I think it has been there for quite some time but I forgot to look out for it! I found that she is on the Wilko Play: Ice Cream and Waffle Dough Set and also on the Cleaning Trolley.
Have you ever thought of wanting to print your own t-shirt but not sure where to go? Or if you have an event, charity, fun run or even a Hen party and you would like to get everyone wearing the same designs? TShirtPrinting might be able to help you! They recently sent me my blog banner t-shirt for review. I opted for a Large ladies size with white colour cotton T-shirt. Beside T-shirts, they also print polo shirts, sweatshirts or hoodies, branded with company logos, messages, or taglines. They also comes in different sizes, colours, shapes and designs.
Truprint offers services for printing photos, but it’s not just photo paper as you can also have printed cards, photo mugs, posters, calendars and many more. They have kindly offered me two canvases to review. Truprint offers various sizes of Photo Canvas of Single Image Canvas, Collage Canvas, Split Photo Canvas, Multiple Canvas Prints and Premium Canvas. I went for the biggest size to suit our conservatory wall, rectangular 24 x 20 inch with photo wrapping around edges. The canvas in-between both Truprint canvases of my children is not part of the review.
Following the success of last summer’s photo blogging competition Capture the Colour, Travel Supermarket has teamed up with Venture Photography to launch ‘Kid’s Capture the Colour’, an exciting challenge for children aged 15 or under to get creative and photograph the world around them. I was the 101st applicant. Fortunately for us however, someone dropped outgiving us the opportunity to get a free digital camera from Travel Supermarket to get my children to capture the colours of red, blue, green, yellow and white while on their summer holidays.
The first photo is the RED colour. This is the shoe house in Wonderland Midlands theme park. My son and I stood on the steps while waiting for everyone to clear off before we took this shot. Luckily, we didn’t need to wait for too long. Inside this shoe there are a lot of children and the old woman. It is based on the nursery rhyme – There was an Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe.
