Cuisine & Culture the Chinese Family Way
During the summer months, spending time in your garden can be one of the highlights. A spacious and comfortable garden can become the go-to place for hosting guests, throwing parties, and spending warm evenings. In the lead up to summer, there are several things you can do to get your garden ready.
This June, The WildLife Trusts challenges everyone to do something wild every day for a month. Nick Baker’s My Living World Nature Study kits is a great way to investigate nature’s creatures up close.
Nick Baker is the vice president for The Wildlife Trusts and he has worked closely with Interplay to create the My Living World sets. They have also teamed up with Surrey Wildlife Trust for the 30 days wild campaign. Why not check out the Nick Baker My Living World range to get closer with nature! They have a selection of kits, such as Ant World, Worm World and Bug Safari. If you don’t like creepy crawlies, then why not try out their pocket microscope to study leaves and natures’ microscopic structures instead! They are available to buy in good retailers and online.
This summer, we’ve been keeping our lawn well maintained and looking stunning thanks to Ryobi 36V Fusion Cordless Lawnmower. As it has been raining very frequently, the grass has grown like wildfire and looked a mess. With this mower, it is has been a breeze to give it a quick trim and be done in no time.
Mr Frosty, the classic crunchy ice maker is back with a fresh new look in spring. It is the much loved original slushy maker from back in the 80s.

This much improved friendly snowman ensures making yummy frozen treats is even easier. It comes with everything you need to create your own crunchy ice, fruity ice shapes and ice lollies!
If you were given a choice, who would not want to design your own swimsuit? Both of my children were so excited to get to pick what they wanted for their swimming costumes from Surania website.
This is my first time I’ve come across the concept of design your own swimwear and I think it’s a great idea. It is great to have the opportunity to wear something custom made so that there is less chances for us to be wearing the same swimwear at the swimming pool or beach.

I love baking and I have always wanted to make roulade. I have tried a few times now and had made a rainbow roulade and vanilla sponge with strawberry. This time I am going to make this Blueberry Chocolate Roulade. This recipe is from the Favourite Cakes book by Best Baking.
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!
Today we did our summer activities letter S. There were a whole list of activities and these are just a few of the selection.
Welcome to my Summer Activities letter R. If you have been following my Summer Activities Pinterest board, you probably know that we have been busy trying to do one letter each day to enliven our summer break. However, we did put it on hold due to an overseas holiday, so we’re slowly catching up the letters.
This summer we have been very busy with a lot of activities including crafts and sports! For the letter O, we did a few summer activities while we were in Singapore!
This summer, we had so much fun and laughter! We did the summer activities A – Z and holidayed in Singapore! But not forgetting our Skylanders! They are still one of the PS3 games my son Mr K loves! He has targeted getting all the characters in each element by saving his pocket money. Over the summer, there are quite a few character deals online and he bought some to add into his collection.
Thanks to Skylanders for sending through the activities book, sunglasses and beach towel! Have you been wondering what the Skylanders have been up to this summer? Check out this epic sand sculpture of Kaos! How cool is that! His minions created to honour their boss on Gandia Beach in Spain! This is such an awesome sand sculpture! I bet a lot of fans would love to take a photo with him!
Just a couple month ago, I was invited to Moonpig’s Spring/Summer collection and now they have launched their Summer Collection, which has a big emphasis on British bouquets such as British lilies, gladioli, sunflowers, aster etc. They all look so lovely!
Yay! We are officially halfway there and we are taking the summer activities very slowly right now. Both children’s energy levels are unrelenting and it’s me who is struggling to keep up!
We are almost halfway through the alphabet! It also means the summer will be over soon and both children will be back to school and I will be getting more time to do my own DIY projects.
