[Ad- PR Experience] Christmas is such a magical time of year and one that involves a lot of shopping. With that in mind, the British Garden Centre ran a press night to show off all of the new products and lines that they will be stocking all around the United Kingdom. We got to visit the Braintree centre for their Christmas event, seeing all of the items that they have to offer.
[Ad- gifted product] We’ve had focaccia from the Wright’s Baking line previously, as it’s literally Amelia’s favorite thing to bake and decorate. So when she suggested we use the Wright’s Baking Rosemary and Garlic Focaccia Bread Mix to create a giant loaf of spooky Focaccia. Focaccia is often a time-consuming and challenging bread to make, but with this mix it’s very teen friendly and Amelia can make the entire mix on her own.
The focaccia mix is one where you just add water and oil, so I took everything out of the kitchen, popped them on the counter, and left Amelia to it. She measured and made up the bread – but then there is a bit of waiting. Letting the bread proof, moving it to a pan, letting it proof, dimpling it, letting it proof, and then adding the toppings before – you guessed it – letter in proof again. This is needed so the bread is airy and like a focaccia is.
Amelia and I had such a good time at our last cupcake class with Sweet Designs by Jennie, that she’s been eagerly waiting for the next one! When Sweet Designs by Jennie released her Autumn Cupcake Class, I booked it up instantly. Amelia and I both very much enjoy baking and cooking together, so getting the chance to decorate six beautiful cupcakes each, as an afternoon on our own, just makes sense for our household!
[Ad- gifted product] When it comes to silly toys, we have tried our fair share. However, Windy Knickers is probably the silliest we have seen in a while! It takes a really average, every day concept of hanging up laundry and makes it into a fun, spinning around, silly little game. The gameplay itself and set up is extremely easy and if your children are anything like ours, they’ll end up finding other ways to have fun with the toy as well.
[Ad- gifted product] Amelia has extremely long hair that she is very proud of. She’s been growing out her hair for years and years, only getting trims and creating some framing in her bangs. As she is a teenager now, it’s important to take care of her hair, as she is spending more time taking care of the way she looks and herself generally. When we were offered the Vegamour HYDR-8 Full Routine Kit to review, I knew she’d be super excited to start up a new hair care routine, especially in time for back to school.
