Me at Discover Dogs!

Mami never told me she worked with dogs!! (Well, sort of)

Through her work she got tickets for us to go see the Discover Dogs show at Earls Court.

Discover Dogs is organised by the Kennel Club who also present Crufts!

Wow!!

He looks innocent, but he wouldn't stay still

There were dogs everywhere! I went right up and pet some, but other doggies scared me a little.

I even saw one poop, hahaha! It smelled yucky!


After this he tried to lick my face!

They had over 200 different types of dogs, big and small, furry and bald, fat and skinny.

There were special competitions like Waggiest Tail, that means the doggy with the wiggliest, waggiest tail wins!

His tail kept hitting my legs!

It sort of reminded me of The Baby Show only for dogs.

There were rows and rows of displays with special foods and snacks, clothes (saw a pair of wellies for doggies) lots of toys, beds, and even buggies!

Seems I have lots in common with them. Hmm?

Wait a minute....those aren't for me! They are sweaters for dogs!

I really wanted to bring one home, but mami didn't really let me do that.

There were a lot of other kids and it looked like families were having a good time. All I know is, I had a GREAT day!

Oh, and if you love dogs as much as I do, follow @KCLovesDogs on twitter updates on all things dogs!

Big mouth!


Check out mami's big lips. But don't worry, they are not real!!

Mami won this Lulu Guinness clutch when she went attended the launch of Vaseline's new Lip Therapy stick range (instead of the tins)

The new stick range just came out this week, and her favourite is the rosy one (which smells very good by the way!)

 And actually when she wasn't paying attention I ate some of daddy's chapstick.  Shhh, don't say anything to her, but they are approved by me.

Personally tasted by me, Vaseline Original Lip Therapy

The other "tastes" they have are:

Rosy
Cocoa
Aloe
Orignal (I tried it!)

A touch of colour

The Gallery theme this week is "Seasons"

I've noticed that the days have changed. I'm back to wearing a coat and boots. No more running around barefoot and wearing short sleeved shirts.

Mami and I don't go out to the park like we use to and it gets dark even before my bedtime.

At nursery we don't go for walks as much and sometimes we stay inside because it is raining.

The leaves on the trees are yellow and the park is full of piles of leaves that have fallen to the ground. I know, because I love to jump in them!

 Really pretty flower

Mami and daddy say they love this time of year because of the smells, the colours and the abundance. Papi always says it is harvest season or autumn.

Even with the leaves falling and the days getting darker and colder, we had a touch of colour in our front garden. A very red flower called a rose popped up.

I pulled off some petals too!

Isn't it beautiful?

What is your favourite season?


Wowza! Win £40K with PayPal!

Mami always says, “money doesn’t buy you happiness, but it sure does help!”

I don’t know much about money, but I do know that mami’s eyes lit up when she saw the latest campaign by Paypal to win £40,000!  That’s because when she does buy things online she often uses PayPal to pay for it.

And that's a lot of zeros!

What would you do with £40K?

I'll tell you what mami and daddy would do – it’s not the most exciting, but it would make things much, much easier for all of us!

First mami would buy us three tickets to visit her family in Chile. It has been over a year since we have been and she misses her grandparents, cousins and aunts and uncles.

After that mami would buy herself (and me!) a brand new laptop so that we can blog and not have to share papi’s computer! Then mami and daddy would go shopping for some new clothes because they both need to “update” their wardrobe.

And lastly, mami and papi would pay off a big part of their student loans from their postgraduate studies. Making them very very happy!

Best thing of all is that anyone can be in the running to win £40K by buying anything using PayPal.

There is a weekly draw, so the more you buy with PayPal, the more chances you have to win. And it doesn’t have to be anything that costs too much! Enter now for your chance to win

With Christmas coming up, mami and I put together 5 items you can buy for yourself or someone else using PayPal:

A shiny new bike from Halfords – Can’t wait to ride one!

A GIANT Peppa Pig Talking soft toy from Toys R US – I really want this!

A pair of proper running trainers from Nike – papi needs a new pair

A new Vostro laptop from Dell – Need I say more?

Street Dance 3D DVD from Woolworths.co.uk – mami likes all those dance movies


So what are you waiting for? Find out more and start shopping to win!

Mami made muffins!

Mami made muffins!

So what? you say. Well believe me, this is major! Mami does not cook and much less bake. Don't get me wrong, she can do it, but doesn't like it and papi is in charge of the cooking in our house.

So when mami woke up after her nap (papi and I gave her the afternoon off) she said "I'm going to try making some muffins"

"What?" said papi surprised. "You don't have to, I can make them for you"

"No, no. I'll try it. I can bake you know"

And she did!



Not bad, not bad at all!

She choose to make Carrot Cake Muffins from the Weight Watchers Hearty Home cook book that she received when she attended the launch of the new Weight Watchers ProPoints system a few weeks ago.


Carrot Cake Muffin recipe

Mami doesn't really like to cook or bake because she says she "will eat it all".

Papi kept trying to tell her what to do from the living room, but she would just say "I know what I'm doing. I don't tell you how to cook".

And we had no choice but to let her be.

Mmmmm!

Papi and I coloured and listened to music. Pretty soon it started to smell really really yummy!

We went out for a quick walk and when we got back, the muffins where out of the oven, mami was smiling and they were ready for us to eat!

Papi and I gave her an A+ for her baking. And they tasted goooooood!

Muffins approved!

She said she was going to try her Oma's German Christmas cookies next week and I get to share the recipe with you, so stay tuned!

Have a good week everyone, feels like winter is really here!

Review and giveaway mashup!

On mami's favourite show Glee they mashup songs. So I thought I would mashup our reviews and giveaways so here it goes!

ZingZillas: The Album

Mami and I were sent a copy and even though we had never seen ZingZillas, we love the music and more importantly it doesn't "drive mami crazy" and it sounds like "real music" she says.

Fun, upbeat and songs I can definitely shake my booty to! Now that it is darker outside and we spend more time inside, mami puts on the music and we play and colour while bopping to the music. I'm a danger on the dance floor you know.

We recommend it!

Favourite songs: Bahngra Beat, The Great ZingZilla Band, Boogie Woogie Bubbly Time



Stacey Jackson

Mami was sent another CD by a singer named Stacey Jackson. She is a Canadian mum of 4 kids who lives in West London who followed her dream to become a singer. Cool huh?

We know not everyone has the means to go out and be a rock star or actress (mami wishes she could have been an actress) it doesn't mean her songs are any less great. She is very rock mama and edgy, and mami was really surprised at how good the songs are and likes her takes on the old Motown hits.

Her songs are out now and all proceeds from her single Upside Down go to the Music for Youth charity.

She hopes Stacey will invite her to a concert! (hint, hint)

Favourite songs: If You Could Read My Mind, If I Can't Have You, Band Of Gold (dance remix!)



Benjoy

Now these are cool!

Mami gave me some new snacks this week, but I couldn't see what I was eating. There was an opening in the container, and once I reached in I got something, they were dried crunchy strawberry slices! See Benjoy is a brand new range of "messy free" or anti-spill munchcups and they have an whole range of healthy snacks.

I have to admit, I'm pretty messy when I eat and my buggy is full of crumbs! I tried to dump the snacks out but it didn't work! Papi thinks its a very clever idea and now mami doesn't have to vacuum after me as often.

Try them! You can get some from Ocado and Morrisons.

Favourite snacks: Crunchy strawberry slices, crunchy grapes

See? The cover stops me from making a mess!

Penny and the Pirates

I love books, and I mean that literally. I love the taste of cardboard or paper. I have personally tasted each and every one of my books. Mami has had to put them away on a high shelf, but every once in a while I manage to get one. Now don't get me wrong, I like the stories too!

We were sent The Adventures of Penny the Postie: Penny and the Pirates to read and I am sorry to say I have not had a chance to taste it. The story however, is fun and exciting. It is about a girl named Penny who delivers letters and goes through all sorts of adventures after she finds a postbox. She almost got eaten by a crocodile!

We never make it through the whole book, but daddy reads it to me in parts. It is for older kids, but I'm a big boy too!

I have 3 to giveaway, so if you would like to follow Penny's adventures just leave me a comment telling us you want to win, your twitter name or email us with your contact details. You must follow blog via Google Connect or RSS.

Closes next Saturday 13th of November

Favourite part: Crossing the crocodile swamp


Sadly, I haven't had a chance to taste this book

Montagne Jeunesse Tottles

Remember mami and abuelita and their face masques? Well its back!

Montagne Jeunesse sent mami some Tottles. I know, strange name but cool concept. It is a mix between a tube and a bottle and they are a new range of luxurious spa facials.

Mami really likes these because they are less messy and you can get up to 10 masques out of them! I think she looks scary, but apparently it makes her face smoother. Hey, if she says it then I have to believe her.

There are four new "tastes": Damask Rose and Marula Oil, Dark Chocolate and Orange, Sensuous Spice Cinnamon and Ginger and Tropical Peel Off Masque with Red Grape and Mango

Even though they sound really yummy, mami says I can't eat them. Darn.

Mami has a set of 4 to giveaway to one lucky winner! Just leave a comment below saying you want to win, your twitter name or email us your contacts. You must follow this blog on Google Connect or RSS.

Closes next Saturday 13th of November

Mami's favourite tottle: Damask Rose

Its a shame I can't eat them, they smell sooo good!

That's it for the review and giveaway mashup! Hope you enjoyed it and maybe discovered something new. Let us know what you think of these.

Don't forget to enter to win!

The competition is now closed. Thank you to everyone for entering.

 

Say hello to my sister, Little L!

It's been a very long time. My days as a blogger are over (at least I think they are?) — I'm now mami's sort of photographer (I...
