The Palm | Dubai | Weekend breakfast or lunch | Riva and Sophie’s Cafe
The weather is just gorgeous and it is time to eat outside especially with the kids. If you are on the Palm and looking for a lovely outdoor venue to have lunch during the week or weekend, Sophie’s Cafe or Riva are good options. Riva is also a beach club, restaurant and bar so you can spend the whole day with the family by the pool and beach. The breakfast at Riva’s is divine, and what’s more the view is incredible. For breakfast, I had poached eggs and smoked salmon, and I struggle to get my poached eggs right. Both Sophie’s and Riva are located at the Shoreline apartments between building 7 and 8, with a pool and seaview. Riva has indoor and outdoor settings.
I was lucky enough to try Riva after attending a lovely event hosted by the Big On Children team who brought in Super Granny, Andalene, to give advice to mothers on discipline for children, eating right, and much more. Andalene travels the world as a speaker and parenting coach and is author of two parenting book.s I have definitely picked up some important pointers for raising my four children. Andalene also came by for a home visit to help put my husband, my nannies and me on the same page, and I have found her advice invaluable.
Big On Children is a fantastic resource for mums who need unique and personalised gifts for their children. The store has from educational CDs and DVDs to cute singing alarm clocks. We had previously featured the great buddy tag that Big On Children brought to Dubai to track your children over your phone using a bracelet. See more on the buddy tags…
Big On Children is located at the Dubai Mall, on the 2nd Floor between Kidzania & Sega Reublic.

Keeping track of your kids | New innovative technology
For me, having 4 children running around the malls of Dubai or the high streets of London can be overwhelming. If you are in the malls this long weekend you may need this new innovation to keep track of the children in the crowds.
My Buddy Tag, named one of the Most Innovated Products 2014, is now available in Dubai that uses Blue Tooth technology to keep track of your kids, and if your children move a certain distance away, the phone sends out a notification message. The great thing is that each wrist band can link to up to six devices. (this includes iphone and android)
I love the colours of the wristbands – they are bright and vibrant. The range of the bluetooth is between 80 to 120 feet, and parents can customise this to suit their environment. I think it is a great idea if you are taking a few children out (playdates) to the mall or if you are going on holiday to an unfamiliar city.
Each tag costs AED179, and is available from Big On Children which has its first flagship store in the Middle East located in Dubai Mall between Kidzania and Sega Republic.
