[Ad- gifted experience] Focaccia bread trended during lockdown, with so many people learning how to make bread. It’s soft, it’s delicious, it’s often quite satisfying to eat. Dalston Deli has taken focaccia bread, baked daily, and created a bunch of packed sandwiches that are filled with fillings and sauces made in house. Their focus on freshness is reflected in the number of sandwiches they have each day; only 50! So pre-ordering the sandwich you’d like is heavily recommended.

Dole Fruit Jelly for Packed Lunches and Snacks!
[Ad- gifted product] I feel like Dole is a household name or at least one that I have grown up with and always had in my house! They were known as “the banana brand” but moved into lots of other fruit-related things, including jelly, as well as vegetable related things like salad bags. We often actually have Dole Fruit Jelly for breakfast, specifically the orange jelly with mandarin oranges in it, as it’s a big family favorite. Jelly is just a common snack in our household and as we often have jelly packed in our packed lunches, when Dole reached out asking if we wanted to review some more of their kids jellies, we were pretty excited! These three flavors of jelly included my absolute favorite fruit cup and two new ones for Kai, Amelia and Robin to try.

Celebratory Dinner at Sevine Brasserie
Sevine Brasserie, a stylish new Mediterranean food stop, opened up last year in the Water Gardens in Harlow! It’s a place that Dann and I have walked past dozens of times, looking like a great, upscale lunch, brunch and dinner venue. Often, there are people enjoy coffees outside around lunchtime and drinks in the evening. They have really ramped up this year, providing a lot of outdoor music and entertainment for the local community. Dann and I both kept saying we would eat there soon, so when I finished and submitted my book to my publisher at the start of this month, it felt like it was time to eat somewhere new, and Sevine Brasserie came to mind!
Pencil Nose – Drawing with your Nose!
[Ad- gifted product] When it comes to games, we often play a lot of board games as a family and have moved towards toys that can be played together instead of individually. Pencil Nose could be considered a tabletop game, but in a more children’s toy sense, sort of like Pictionary, but with it’s own unique twist! Whether it’s a board game or a collective toy, we did have a ton of fun playing it together!
Trying St Michel Choco Burger & Choco Waffle Snacks
[Ad- gifted product] We are always up for trying new snacks, especially during the school holiday as a sort of trial run to see what would go well in our kid’s packed lunches when school starts back up again! When we got a few boxes of St Michel Choco Burger and Waffle packs, Robin and Kai were really pumped to try them out. Both of them have had friends at school who have tried these treats, so they were ready to have a go at them themselves. Both of these treats are quite similar, being made of a soft cake-like shape and chocolate, but in different shapes. Sometimes, however, shapes are all that matters to children!
