Princesses and Heroes | Disney on Ice | Dubai

Leave a comment

For the second time in Dubai, Disney on Ice presents “Princesses and Heroes”, an amazing show for the whole family. Join the most famous Disney princesses and princes and enter a world where heroes and hearts prevail.

Disney on Ice is a crowd pleaser when it comes to live children’s entertainment, and Princesses & Heroes is, what seems, to be their most spectacular show yet. It features characters from the old classic films and also modern favourites, upbeat music from the Disney movies we all love and fantastic skating combined with acrobatics.

Join Ariel and Prince Eric, Belle and the Beast, Jasmine and Alladin and many many more and experience the Disney magic with your little ones. In addition, for all big fans of Disney’s animated feature film “Frozen”, Elsa and her sister Ana, along the sweet snowman Olaf and Kristoff will be joining the show to sing-along all of their favorite songs: “First Time in Forever,” “Love is an Open Door,” “Let It Go,” and “In Summer”.

It’s a spectacle fit for all, because let’s face it, nobody is too old or too young for Disney.

“Disney on Ice – Princesses and Heroes” will run for four days at Dubai World Trade Center, from June 10 to 13, 2015.

To celebrate the end of a great school year, a 25% discount is offered for their special After School Show on Thursday the 11th of June at 3:30 p.m. The discount only applies to bronze, silver and gold tickets

The Safari Collection | A fact finding breakfast

Leave a comment

Most families I know are curious about safaris, but as everyone knows they are not a cheap holiday but they are a great education investment and experience for all the family so picking the right one is crucial.  For some families it will be a once in a lifetime experience.  How do you know the one that you chose is the right one without relying too heavily on travel agents?

Henrietta, from the The Safari Collection’s marketing team, who lives in Giraffe Manor, was in Dubai last week to co-host with Jessica Hudson of Hudsons Travel and Seashells on the Palm a breakfast to explain more about the properties in its collection, and to show a stunning and inspiring video of the various lodges including the world famous Giraffe Manor, a sanctuary for giraffes.  Typical questions that mums asked during the breakfast included the right age for children, the vaccinations requirements, flight time to Nairobi from Dubai.  We had previously interviewed the owner of The Safari Collection, Tanya Carr-Hartley, a mum of 4, who kindly answered these questions.  For more in-dept detail about travelling with children click on the link to read our Q&A with Tanya.

Baby Leonardo reviews The Boba Carrier 4G Vail

Leave a comment

I started having children 6 years ago, and The Boba Carrier was not an available option.  I used a baby bjorn for many years with the 4 children, and it has worn well until now so it has been definitely a good investment.  The problem with the baby bjorn that it works for me only for a limited time with my children.  By 8 months, my shoulders feel sore with the baby bjorn after a short walk as all the weight is all on your upper body.  As an infant carrier I still rate the baby bjorn as it is quick to get in and out of airports and aeroplanes but after 8 months to 1 year I had to switch to other alternatives.

The Boba baby carrier has been tested by baby Leonardo and dad. (the ultimate test).  Leonardo finds the carrier very comfortable, and he feels like he is in hammock and is lulled into a slumber easily.  My husband also finds it comfortable but he would prefer to use it in a mall or abroad in colder countries as the Boba is made from strong and thick fabric and finds it too warm so would prefer the baby bjorn for a hot and humimd walk on the beach.  For me, I thought that the baby’s weight was more evenly spread across my body as the majority of the weight is on the waist and shoulders, and I could carry him for longer on the Boba carrier.  I also love the feeling that the Boba gives which is ‘the hug’ because of the position  you are carrying the child.  In my crazy schedule, I love the intimacy of holding my two youngest so close to me even if I am charging through the supermarket.  My two year boy (cost centre number 3) also enjoyed being carried from behind ‘like a backpack’.  The Boba has adjustable footstraps to help support the child too.

There are also an array of designs but this was our personal family favourite.  Neutral enough for dad to also use it.  We are looking forward to taking it away with us on holiday next month.

The Viel family rates this product 9/10.
