Tooheys Cooking Handbook

These days men are not just BBQ cooks and love to show their flare and talent in the kitchen. Meals don’t have to be difficult to look and taste divine. The Tooheys Cooking Handbook is full of delicious recipes (with and without beer as an ingredient) so there is a large majority that are still family friendly. My husband and I were chefs prior to having children but we still appreciate a good cookbook and this one cannot be looked past!

Consisting of 80 easy to follow, wholesome and hearty recipes; the Tooheys Cooking Handbook is at the top of my Father’s Day gift list this year. If you are feeling particularly generous, you could even through in a slab of beer! Home cooking that the whole family will want to be involved in.

You can purchase the Tooheys Cookbook at Booktopia for $33.95 or the Tooheys website for $39.99 with free delivery.

Roadshow Dvds

Roadshow have always got something for the family, regardless of age or interest. For this reason it is only natural that dad would a movie to chill out with and watch this Father’s Day.

Mad Max: Fury Road

This all star cast will have you holding the edge of your seat while you watch this masterpiece from director, George Miller. This is the fourth film in the franchise and it will not disappoint! It’s a big claim but I’m calling it, it is the best action movie in years!! It is epic.

Roadshow Synopsis:

Haunted by his turbulent past, Mad Max (Tom Hardy) believes the best way to survive is to wander alone. Nevertheless, he becomes swept up with a group fleeing across the Wasteland in a War Rig driven by an elite Imperator, Furiosa (Charlize Theron). They are escaping a Citadel tyrannized by the Immortan Joe, from whom something irreplaceable has been taken. Enraged, the Warlord marshals all his gangs and pursues the rebels ruthlessly in the high-octane Road War that follows.

Only the mad survive! See the Mad Max: Fury Road trailer here.

Released: September 2nd 2015 * RRP $39.95 * Rating MA15+ * Genre: Action

Run All Night

This cast are known for their love of action and that they definitely provide! The film while it is action packed, also offers a story line that will have you hooked and wanting to watch over again.

Roadshow Synopsis:

Jimmy Conlon (Neeson), once known as The Gravedigger, has seen better days. Long-time best friend of mob boss Shawn Maguire (Harris), Jimmy, now 55, is haunted by the sins of his past, as well as a dogged police detective (D’Onofrio) who’s been one step behind Jimmy for 30 years. Lately, it seems Jimmy’s only solace can be found at the bottom of a whiskey glass. When Jimmy’s estranged son, Mike (Kinnaman), becomes a target, Jimmy must make a choice between the crime family he chose and the real family he abandoned long ago. With Mike on the run, Jimmy’s only penance for his past mistakes may be to keep his son from the same fate Jimmy is certain he’ll face himself…at the wrong end of a gun. Now, with nowhere safe to turn, Jimmy just has one night to figure out exactly where his loyalties lie and to see if he can finally make things right.

Get Hard

This film is absolutely hilarious! It is everything you expect when you put funny man Will Ferrell and comedian Kevin Hart together; tears of laughter, funny one liners and unbelievably funny assumptions.

Roadshow Synopsis

When millionaire hedge fund manager James (Will Ferrell) is nailed for fraud and bound for a stretch in San Quentin, the judge gives him 30 days to get his affairs in order. Desperate, he turns to Darnell (Kevin Hart) to prep him for a life behind bars. But despite James’ one-percenter assumptions, Darnell is a hard-working small business owner who has never received a parking ticket, let alone been to prison.

Together, the two men do whatever it takes for James to get hard and, in the process, discover how wrong they were about a lot of things—including each other.

See the Get Hard trailer here.

Released July 29th 2015 * RRP $39.95 * Rating MA15+ * Genre: Comedy

Schick

Schick is a trusted name with great products. We have used them for years and each time a new product is released we cannot wait to try to try it. What a better gift for dad than a supply of shaving goodies to keep him trimmed and tidy.

Schick Hydro 5

My husband uses these on a regular basis and loves them. He is also partial to the Hydro 3 so I guess Schick are doing right with their razors. They provide a close shave with minimal irritation and thanks to the Vitamin E and Aloe Vera hydrating gel reservoir, your skin will be left moisturised and smooth. The flip trimmer allows you to get a precise trim without nicking yourself.

Schick Hydro 5 features:

• 5 Ultra Glide® Blades
• Patented Skin Guards to reduce friction between skin and blades for less irritation and prevent nicks
• Hydrating Water-Activated Moisturising Serum, made with Vitamin E and Aloe Vera
• A Flip Trimmer that flips back, making all five blades available to give a precision trim
• Ergonomic handle with a soft rubber grip, making sure the Schick Hydro 5 fits in your hand perfectly

RRP $10.95

Schick Hydro 5 Refill Cartridges

All the features mentioned above but as a refill cartridge. These are a money saver as your razor handle always last longer than the blades.  RRP $17.99 (4 pack).

Quattro Titanium Disposable Razors

Perfect for when on business or going away for the weekend. These bad boys feature 4 blades and a new and improved lubrication strip, Aloe and Jojoba help to reduce the risk of ingrown hairs and nicks. The comfortable non-slip rubber grip adds added protection against slippage so you (or dad) can look his at all times.

Available in packs of 3, these are a bargain at only RRP $7.99.

Schick Hydro Clear Shave Gel

Combine this transparent shave gel with the use of Schick Hydro 5 razors for your best shave yet! Due to the gel being clear, you can still see the hair as you shave which allows you to have better control when grooming or shaping. The gel softens and lifts hair which gives dad a closer and smoother shave while moisturising the skin.

RRP $7.99 (sold exclusively at Coles)

These stunning little shoes are crafted from one piece of soft leather. Seamless shoes provide little feet with absolute comfort when they walk. The beautiful baby and toddler shoes from All About Heidi are simply genius as the flower design on the front not only looks delightful but it can also be adjusted by tightening or loosing the knot to suit your little ones foot as they grow. The velcro allows for easy use; when putting on and taking off. I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of grip these have as the leather is incredibly soft. I was expecting Poppet to slip over on the tiles with them on however she has not fallen once while wearing them. They provide enough grip that she can run and play in them without hesitation.

THE LITTLE BOOK OF HARMONY

Prize includes: 1x The Little Book of Harmony. Written by Kerry Spina – RRP $20.00.

I am very fond of this book. It encourages children to take notice of their choices and the effects it could have on others, both positive and negative. It shares with them in a way that is magical and fun, what truly matters and how they can start their journey to self discovery. I love that The Little Book of Harmony is not just focussing on negative behaviour, it promotes important messages such as forgiveness and gratitude. Kerry is a true genius and I really hope this book flies off the shelves because it is amazing. Encouraging children to love themselves, be creative, how to accept things and so much more by inviting them to think about and discuss their feelings and emotions while reading the book. You can purchase this truly wonderful book from Kids in Harmony.

Parenting with heart and soul

2x WINNERS!!

Each Prize Contains: 1x Parenting with Heart & Soul by Kelly Burch (Book). RRP $17.00. (Total prize pool: $34.00)

I’ll be the first to say I am not a mum who reads parenting books or even know what EFT is. However, Parenting with Heart & Soul is so much more than that. FIY: EFT means Emotional Freedom Technique. While it is predominantly a ‘parenting’ book, a lot of the ideas it shares work on everyone. As I turned the pages of this parent’s guide to emotional freedom with EFT I realised that many of the concerns and issues we have for our boys (ages 7 & 5) were included, confirming a lot of what I already suspected. Kelly Burch has written in a way that explains the thinking and reactions of children and us parents in a way that everyone can relate to, along with possible reasons they may be acting/behaving in such a way. She talks about fears, being present, anxieties, eating, stress and much more. A very interesting read that is well worth its RRP $17.00.

The post Huge Christmas Giveaway – Day 1 appeared first on All Mum Said.

I will be the first to admit that I NEED a calendar, if I didn’t have one I would forget so many things. I also take great pleasure in finding the perfect one. It can be frustrating when you search and search and come up empty handed but when you think about the fact you have to look at it for next 12 months, you want to love it. I have always looked in places like newsagents and department stores on my annual calendar hunt and for some reason had never even thought of looking online, which for me is strange as I buy almost everything online. This year however I have been introduced to Calendar Club which is where my 2015 calendars are from and so will my 2016 editions. I have found my new go-to calendar shop.

Calendar Club have over 4000 calendars to choose from in a wide range of topics and interests. They cover films, cartoons and TV shows, celebrities, music, sports right through to hobbies, cute animals, food, art, humour and so much more. There is something for every age and every interest. I found the task of narrowing it down to just 5 calendars an enormously tough decision as there were so many eye-catching and interesting ones to choose from. Yes 5 may seem like a lot but we have – 1. family/events/birthdays. 2. My work deadlines/blog, 3. Finances/bills/payments and 4 & 5 are for B1 and B2 because they like to feel grown-up. On B1 &B2s’ calendars we write things like library day, homework, swimming, etc.

Did you know that just under 2 millions calendars are put under the Christmas tree each year? That’s a huge number when you think about the fact we live in a digital and technology fuelled world. While receiving a calendar for Christmas may not be of interest to some, others would absolutely love it!  I love nothing more than the old school paper versions of calendars and dairies. I love being able to physically feel it and add my own personal touches.

Are you starting your search for your 2015 calendar? Maybe you know someone who would love one for Christmas. Check out Calendar Club to see the full range available and if you cannot wait and want to purchase one now there is a sale on at the moment!!

Managing my time is something I either excel at or fail ridiculously. Like absolutely hopelessly fail and at the end of the day it depends on how busy I am. Surprisingly it is when I am busiest that I am the most productive and when I know I have plenty of time to work/write/blog I seem to take my sweet arse time. Which of course results in me having to try and play catch up. This is one of the things Kelly Exeter talks about in her book ‘ Your Best Year ’ and I have to agree 100%. The more time you have the more time you waste. ‘ Your Best Year Yet ’ is a self-help book of sorts but not like you expect it to be. While it does share 7 simple ways to shift your thinking and take charge of your life it does so in a way that is quick, easy and straight to the point which is great for those who are stripped of time. She doesn’t make you read a hundred pages for you to walk away and think ‘well that was a waste of time’.

When I began reading this I grabbed a post-it pad so I could take notes of points that caught my eye and before I had even hit chapter 3 I had 7 tags stuck on specific pages with tips and ideas. This didn’t slow down as I read towards the end of the book. While not everything Kelly speaks of resonated with me personally, there were a few light bulb moments that made me stop and think about how I would approach the situation. I want to share so much about this book but feel if I do give you the highlights I will be telling you the whole book so it might be best if you just grab a copy for yourself. You won’t be disappointed. It is available in a few different formats to suit everyone as well because Kelly is a thinker like that – Ebook (PDF & Kindle) and now paperback as well. I am a paperback kinda gal and think there is nothing better than the pages between my fingers. Check out her website and purchase Your Best Year Yet by Kelly Exeter here.

The post Your Best Year Yet {Book Review} appeared first on All Mum Said.

I have recently finished reading a book that outlines and encourages a drug free approach to the treatment of not only health problems but also emotional issues.  Challenging Children: Success with Homeopathy offers hope to everyone living or working with children from page 1. This book is full of  inspiration, success stories and the paths they took to overcome and improve the struggles and issues they were experiencing. I love that it is written in a way that every mum and dad will understand; it has been stripped of all the lengthly explanations and scientific jargon leaving only the important information and words you can actually pronounce. Linee Jordan, the writer of Challenging Children understands that parents don’t often get a lot of time to read and has written this book in a way that you can open it up and start from almost anywhere. If you or your children are interested in finding out more about Homeopathy or would like to understand it further this is a great place to start.

Some of the challenges this book shares success stories of include but are not limited to childhood behaviour, developmental delay, emotional problems, highly sensitive children, ADHD, anger, anxiety, autism, fears, bedwetting, delayed speech, nightmares, OCD, separation anxiety, tantrums, allergies, asthma, bedwetting, digestive problems, ENT, eczema, tics and twitches.  Challenging Children shows how powerful and effective Homeopathy really is.
