Cuisine & Culture the Chinese Family Way
Time has passed so quickly and now we are welcoming 2019! This will be a very challenging year ahead as we are buying a new house soon and Mr K will be going to ‘big’ school in September. The year before, we made a big decision to sell our ‘forever home’ to move closer to Mr K’s big school as we wanted the best school for him. It was not an easy decision as it involved tying ourselves to a bigger/longer mortgage and moving away from our nearby friends.
Buying gifts for young people/adults who like to play games can be very tricky. They might already own many gaming products and gadgets. To help with some alternative gadgety toys, we are delighted to receive this selection of merchandise from Paladone! These items should give you a few ideas to buy this Christmas. Personally, these are things that I like and even before I had a chance to unbox them, my children and husband already had their eyes on them!
This year has flown by so quickly. Can you believe it’s December already?! It is time for me to do a quick round up of all the gadgets and technology products we have reviewed over the course of the year. I hope this post will give you some Christmas gift ideas.

Want to teach your children to read the time in an easy and quick way? Madam Irma have developed a new concept/method to teach young children to tell the time! They will learn it in no time! Madam Irma watches targets children aged between 3 to 6, by using colours and animals to teach them the time.
When I first saw the watch online, I was not very convinced how this would work but to my surprise, both of my children aged 5 and 7, understood within minutes of using it. They both were thrilled when they saw the watches.
Natural wood versus smartwatch. Natural wood wins! Not long ago, we came across JORD who are a wooden watches company and we fell in love with the notion of a timepiece that uses natural materials. Their watches look very unique and has proved to be quite the talking point.
JORD Wood Watches are based in the USA and they ship international. We received the watch very quickly with registered mail. Mr C went for the Fieldcrest Series black wood watch. This is a classic midsize watch. The monochromatic wood face, bezel, and strap serve to showcase the intricacy of the wood grain. It has a stainless steel deployment buckle with push button. In fact, it is very easy to push and release the buckle but at the same is very secure on your wrist. The watch is very lightweight and has scratch resistant mineral. Out of the box, the straps were too long for Mr K. So we used a small screwdriver (for spectacles) to push the Individual links out and shorten it. It can be a bit fiddly to do so you can always take it to a watch shop to do it for you.
Little Ms C is wearing this gorgeous bright pink Little Miss Princess’s watch! They are suitable for 6 years and above. The face of the watch comes with gold coloured hours, minutes and seconds hands with very gorgeous Little Miss Princess and magnificent glittering castle as a background. The numbers are all in pink. The strap is made from soft plastic with sliver glitter and a lot of Little Miss printed on it. The back of the watch is made from stainless steel. To adjust the time, simply pull out the crown, turn to the desired time and push it back when done. The watch is guaranteed for 12 months. The watch is beautifully made and comfortable to wear. The RRP is £12.99. It is very affordable and good value.
