New Food Lover's Market at Morning Glen Mall

Food Lover's Market at Morning Glen Mall

Food lovers in the heart of Morningside, Morning Glen Mall, are in for a greater variety of food as Food Lovers Market opens.

Food Lovers's Market "Farmer's Crop"

I was most impressed last week with the offerings at Food Lover's Market at the revamped Morning Glen Mall. As a vegetarian I spend most of my food budget on vegetables, fruit, nuts and beans. The Morning Glen Mall has recognised the need to support the growing healthy living habits of the community. My list grew larger and larger while I was walking through the displays and shelves. The variety, freshness and healthy choices makes it easy for a one-stop shopping experience. Which I always try to do!

We love Arctic Justice - WIN tickets

Arctic Justice in cinemas from 24 January 2020

Going to a cinema to see your favourite movie is still a great outing! Especially for the family. We saw Arctic Justice (see also Arctic Dogs or Polar Squad in other parts of the world) at Cedar Square yesterday morning. It is a sweet movie, with a number of life lessons thrown in the mix. The director is Aaron Woodley, with a great cast including Jeremy Renner, Heidi Klum, James Franco and John Cleese.

We have two tickets up for grabs for a reader of this blog. See below.

Arctic ice - such a cool awesome movie with great lessons: “Be true to yourself!” #ArcticIce #hosted Swifty and his ragtag group of friends must band together to fight an epic battle. It’s only when Swifty embraces his natural abilities that he is able to save Taigasville—and the Arctic—from utter destruction. #MoviesToSee #MoviesForThrWholeFamily #ThingsToDoWithTheFamy #SterKinekor #EmpireEntertainment

Spies in Disguise movie - Delightful - REVIEW

Spies in Disguise poster 

This family loves animation. Luckily! Because the parents enjoy it just as much as the kids! We were invited to a kids' media screening in December of Spies in Disguise. It launched on Christmas Day, but it is still running in the cinemas. It is such a cool movie, and great for the whole family!

So looking forward to this! 👉🏻👉🏻👉🏻👉🏻👉🏻Spies in Disguise!@EmpireEntAfrica #SpiesInDisguise#KidsPreview#Hosted pic.twitter.com/JLkdkBamWE

SPIES IN DISGUISE is a comedy adventure with the world’s greatest super slick secret agent, Lance Sterling (Will Smith) and awkward tech genius Walter (Tom Holland). They are the most unlikely duo who are forced to team up for the ultimate mission. A "lucky"(unlucky) mishap leads to  an almost impossible disguise – transforming Lance into the brave, fierce, majestic… pigeon.

Nerf Fest 2019 was the Nerf - in photos

Nerf Fest 2019

Nerf Fest 2019 was awesome! The girls had so much fun. The competitor activities was all the rage, and the stunning GOG Lifestyle Park added to the fun of the day! This is not a Wordless Wednesday, but here are some of the photos. The heat on Saturday was the only reason we left. It was a scorcher of a summer's day!

There was 4 competitor's areas that the children had to complete. They were in a team of 5 each, and the Nerf Monsters (each team had to choose their own name) did a few good rounds. The last round was in the water area, and it was perfect to cool down after the exercises. The smaller children could also play in a number of areas, but I think it would be great if they get their own competitor slots, with parents running alongside them. A fellow blogger told me her son was so disappointed that he could not yet partake! (Just a suggestion?)
