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.
