Ryobi 36V Fusion Cordless Lawnmower Review

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 Review

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.

With the launch of this revamped nostalgic toy, kids of all ages and adults will love making delicious frozen treats! 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!

Surania Design Your Style Review

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.

At Surania, you have a wide range of styles to choose from which adapt perfectly to your body, your desires and your tastes. It allowing you to design your own bikini or swimsuit to your tastes and to manufacture the garments to your measurements. You can choose bikini, tankini, beach wear, mens wear and kids wear too!

Blueberry Chocolate Roulade

Happy Egg Taste Makers recently partnered up with food stylist and instagrammer, Marte Marie Forsberg, who has provided her Top 5 Tips for creating the best looking food. So they set us, the Happy Egg bloggers, a challenge to take part and create our own style using her tips for a chance of winning some great prizes.

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.

Summer Activities A – Z: R

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.

Skylanders Summer

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!
