Covid-19 Update We have just recently visited Legoland again, in July 2020 and I thought I pop a quick update here about the Covid-19 safety measures. Parking and arriving So first of all, it was a very hot day on our Legoland Windsor Visit. But arriving, parking the car and getting inside Legoland was no problem whatsoever (as opposed to our pre-Covid experience). They didn’t even scan the tickets and parking lot bookings. When inside the park, we noticed that it wasn’t busy at all, there were about 1/4 of the normal crowd of a weekday in July. However, the …

Healthy Snacks For Lunch Boxes: Chilean Easy Peelers
2 minutes read
The back to school season brings back the everyday mission of supplying the children with healthy lunch box items they are surely going to eat. During the holidays and half terms it’s fairly easy to monitor what they eat and how much. But once they are back in school, we want to make sure that they eat their packed lunch and that lunch is healthy. Chilean Easy Peelers are great for lunch boxes. They are healthy: rich in vitamin C, potassium, folate, and calcium. They contain lots of water which makes them perfect for busy days when they just forget to …
Save Money And The Environment With Used Kitchen Exchange

As you know I’m a big fan of upcycled and regenerated products. I hate wasting nice things – just because I can’t make a use of them anymore, they shouldn’t be just thrown away. From clothes to furniture, so many of our unwanted items can be repurposed or upcycled, which would otherwise end up in landfill. As an ethical buyer, I prefere to spend my money on items which are environmentally friendly like recycled or upcycled products. Nowadays, it’s not only possible, but there are lots of choices out there to do so. You can buy and sell second hand …
We were on holiday in the States recently and stayed in San Jose for a few weeks, visiting friends. As we tried to combine quality indoor time (hiding from the heat) and lots of outdoor fun, we came across the Children’s Discovery Museum in San Jose. If you’re ever around and have a small child to entertain, don’t hesitate to pop by. It’s conveniently located next to a big parking facility if you arrive by car, and though public transportation is not great in the city, the tram has a stop nearby. It’s hard to miss it: a bright purple …
I love to cook and I normally use fresh ingredients, including the herbs and the spices. But there are days when I don’t feel to cook everything from the scratch, because it’s been a busy day, I’m too tired or the kids are just too handful. I’m not pretending I never used boxed meals from the supermarket, but I don’t like them, they often too bland or too salty for my taste. If I’m short on time, I just toss some veggies into my wok pan and cook some rice or couscous on the side. For these occasions cook sauces …
Kit & Kin Biodegradable Nappy Review
3 minutes read
We normally use cloth nappies and disposable nappies combined – luckily my eldest is already toilet trained, so it’s a lot less nappy changes on a daily basis. With all the nappy changes we go through with each and every child, we add another about 6.500 disposable diapers to that already huge environmental impact what we create by using very convenient disposable diapers. That’s more than 8.000.000 nappies a day in the UK only. The conventional nappies really take their time to decompose: a few hundred years, scientists reckon SOMETHING IN THE RANGE OF 200-500 years. They are one of …
