Sharing Barbie with a new generation

[Ad- gifted products] With the Barbie Movie coming out, I am sure you have seen the large number of Barbie marketing that has been out there. I feel like everyone in my generation has memories of playing with Barbie. I had a giant wooden Barbie house, a Barbie toddler jeep, plenty of Barbie toys… it was just one of those things I feel like everyone plays with! In the last few years, we have purchased Robin a few of the mermaid Barbie dolls, as she loves playing with Barbie in water, but she didn’t seem to have much interest in Barbie – until this new movie started being advertised.

Munchy Seeds are the perfect summer snack

[Ad- gifted product] Summertime is here, so it’s time to try a bunch of different snacks that are easy to bring around with us and picnic with! Munchy Seeds is a very new type of snack for our family – as it’s a seed mix. To be honest, I only really eat seeds on bagels, as apart of the bagel, so having a seed mix as a sort of snack mix sounded really fun! The Munchy Seeds mix have primarily pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds, which are flavored depending on the pack.

Crafting with Skoodle Magazine

[Ad- gifted product] We are a big household of crafters, especially when it comes to Robin! She does love drawing, painting, sculpting and so much more, but with her we do find that everything needs to be more structured due to her age. As she is seven, she often wants prompts and ideas to go along with, which is why the Skoodle Magazine is really perfect for those who have young ones that need guided play.

Trying Nepalese cuisine at The Gurkhas Restaurant

[Ad- gifted experience] I do not think I have ever had Nepalese cuisine before, so when Dann and I were invited to try some of the menu at The Gurkhas Restaurant, we both were pretty excited to try something so new to us! The Gurkhas was founded by Shrabaneswor Rai, who is Nepal born and is also the co founder of a few different restaurants in Islington. The head chef, himself, and his father-in-law were all inspired by the heritage of the Himalayas to create their menu.

A Day Out at Horrible Histories – Barmy Britain at Harlow Playhouse

We have very nearly seen every single Horrible Histories play. With just two left, when Horrible Histories – Barmy Britain was shown as playing locally, there was no way that we couldn’t attend! We’ve actually never been to the Harlow Playhouse before, as a family, and decided to invite along one of Kai’s friends. Since Kai’s friend was with us, he was pretty busy hanging out, and we didn’t end up getting a family photo – but that’s okay, as we did enjoy the performance so much – as did his mate.
