[Ad- gifted product] Gin is definitely the in thing at the moment when it comes to spirits. and unlike the cider fad, there are plenty of new flavours, companies and combinations coming to the table. UMODZI Gin is the latest in that long line of new gins, but it does a few things different than a lot of its contemporaries; For a start, the South African gin pulls its botanicals in from the entire continent, with its 21 botanicals coming in from 12 different countries.
[Ad- gifted product] It’s been a while since we wrote about the last science kit that we did, the Luminescence kit from MEL. This time we sat down with the MEL Science Polarized Light kit, another box from their MEL Science Physics range, a range that’s designed for a slightly older audience than a lot of the kits out there. As I said previously, the range is really professionally made, with a clean minimalist box design and that carries through to the instructions as well.
We actually use the included instructions and keep them afterwards, but the fact that there’s a well-designed app that goes alongside the range is really cool; not only does it talk you through each experiment but it’s also needed in order to access the extra, complementary experiments that come with each box. It’s worth noting that there’s also some cool VR stuff that you can do with it, extra activities and learning, and also there’s a way to chat to the box creators about the experiments if you wish. It’s really thorough.
Kai has been given some interesting homework as of late, including a bunch of awesome projects to choose from, all around the subject he is learning about. One of the projects involved going to the in London. As we love taking the kids on adventures, we decided to head there and see one of the shows on offer – Kai choose ‘Meet the Neighbours’ which explored the galaxy and focused on some of the other planets and stars around Earth.
[Ad- gifted product] If you know me then I’m sure that you’ve probably already figured out that I am already a father, but recently the opportunity came up to have a look at the latest Daddilife Books title, You’re Going to Be a Dad!, and I jumped at it. I think it’s great that people have come together to create a resource like this, especially considering that there just aren’t that many resources out there for people at the moment.
In case you haven’t realised it yet, You’re Going to Be a Dad! is a book specifically designed with soon-to-be, and father’s to be, in mind. That said, it’s much more than a guide for a pregnancy partner. it covers the different stages of pregnancy regarding the development of the baby, the normal tasks associated with that period of pregnancy and it also covers terms, jargon and more, that might not be understood by those who aren’t carrying the baby themselves. It’s also specifically designed to take different cultures and religions in mind – it is clearly designed to be as accessible and approachable as it could be.
During the summer holiday, we wanted to make the most of it, so our family and my friend’s family went together to Chessington World of Adventure – a theme park and zoo that’s quite fun for the whole family and has so much to see, it would take several visits to view it all. This place is massive and will easily fill your entire day, especially if you like a few of the rides specifically!
