One Hour Florist - Review

I sent a bouquet of flowers from One Hour Florist to the daughter! When it arrived at the door, I alerted her that she has flowers. Ignorant and in disbelief, she continued to be engage in her task. I had to bring the flowers to her. After checking out the greeting card, she released a smile like she had been pranked. It was definitely no prank, I had wanted to be the first person in her life to send her flowers.

Deluxe Surprise Hand Bouquet

Her weeks had been busy with work from school and home based learning. On top of these, she had some tough time adapting to the new elements she's learning from her online gym sessions. The idea of sending her blooms as an encouragement came to me and I was confident that the flowers will lift her mood.

I choose her bouquet from One Hour Florist, a local online florist. As its name spells, it promises to send your flowers within an hour. But, I selected a choice from the hourly time slots for next day delivery. The online ordering process was breezy, and I was pleasantly glad that there didn't seem to have a limit on the words I wanted to send across with the flowers. The message came printed on two postcards size of cardstock paper. I am sure one wordy Mama.

Lovely on her desk

It's definitely wonderful to know of a local florist that covers both your last minute and planned decisions! Delivery for all orders are Free with no minimum spending needed. With this express promise, there is definitely more value compared to what you are already paying.

One Hour Florist also promises 100% freshness with flowers air flown in daily, where only the best flowers are sent out for delivery. Their flowers are kept lasting with advanced technological solutions to sort orders in a way that each outlet would only receive orders that are within the vicinity of the delivery location. Having to deal with a decent volume of orders, they are able to fly in flowers on a daily basis without having to deal with leftover flowers. Their fast growth has also allowed them to create multiple operational outlets across Singapore, so that flowers can reach you in 60 minutes or less. In midst of the current covid situation, do give them some buffer time for safety and health checks at delivery premises.

Admiring her flowers

Do you have someone in mind to send flowers to? I think it's a wonderful idea to send flowers to a little girl today. Apart from the smiles, with gifts coming from a child's parents, it surely creates great memory with it. I'm glad I just did! Flowers aren't bloomed just for occasions, but any day.

Whyzee cake delivery - Review

How was Father's day celebration in your household? I thought it was really wonderful that families could dine out with their heroes. A drastic opposite when Mother's day fell during circuit breaker with many home delivery orders clogged up. Regardless, it was still home staying for us. Cakes and tea were perfect incentives for us to stay home.

Father's day tea and cakes

We celebrated Father's Day with cakes from Whyzee. The kind people from Whyzee, a local online cake store sent us three wonderful flavours to savour - Mango Mousse, Chocolate Desire and Tiramisu. The cakes were great tasting, spongy and soft. The daughter sliced and commented that they do not crumble easily. Good stuff in there.

Mango Mousse

Chocolate Desire

Tiramisu

I am not sure if the tiramisu is alcohol free, but it did seemed like it was when we tasted. Kids safe I guess. 

These express cakes along with other choices listed on their website promise to deliver to your table, should you have an urgent or last minute request of cake. Just give them 60 minutes. It's a great save to your impromptu plan! Same day delivery islandwide is at a fee of $10. Urgent/last minute delivery fee at $25. Free delivery for orders above $80. There is no minimum order. It is best to contact them via call or Whatsapp to place any urgent order. For seasonal products, the earliest arrival will be 2 days after purchasing on their website.

In addition to an online store, Whyzee owns a humble bakery at Clementi too. They specialise in freshly baked Artisanal Birthday Cakes, eggless and vegan cakes. Eggless cakes are always great options when celebrating a child's birthday at preschool. You never know who has an egg allergy within the class, and that little child may not sound it out. 

All ingredients used in Whyzee are of premium quality and they guarantee not only the freshness of your cakes, but their delicious taste as well. I love their focus of providing healthier cake options that are preservatives free, with less sugar and cream used. Another great choice for eaters of all ages! And I find that local taste buds are not very much skewed to extremely sweet cakes too.

Check out their website for their range of birthday to customised cakes, seasonal and non-seasonal cakes. Oh, they have cupcakes, swiss rolls, banana bread and muffins too!

This little guy has testified its goodness.

Yummy!

More Home Activities for Your Preschooler

We are into phase two of circuit breaker! Mumsy roles are pretty much the same for me as I've the youngest still nesting with me 24/7. Preschool is in plan, but we're unsure of when exactly. Meanwhile, it's keep clam, and keep on homeschooling for me.

Here are another FIVE fun and easy home activities in addition to what we shared previously on 5 simple activities for your preschooler during circuit breaker.

1. Mystery box

Cut a circle the the middle of an empty box, big enough for his hand to move in and out. Put random items into the box and get your child to make a guess of what they are. One item at a time. Range your items with different texture from toys to fruits! Allow his sense of touch lead him. 

Before that, you may get your child to paint the 'mystery box' too.

Mystery box fun

2. Face on glass
Reach for the window markers! Press your face against a glass panel and get your child to draw your face features. Change roles after that. Ta-da! You've got a portrait of each other.

Pressing his face for big bro to draw

Lovely portrait

3. Math Box

Yes, we have too many boxes sitting around waiting to be used. I cut two holes on top of the box, fix on with the covers of wet wipes as entry points for the items we want to add up. I used hot glue gun to fix this. And poms poms for our addition. Stick a plastic tape across the 2 covers for the writing of equations. Use erasable marker!

That explains our 3+3 = 6

Math fun

4. Baking soda paint

Mix paint colours with vinegar and drip them over baking soda with a dropper. Spoon drip is fine too if you do not have a dropper. Watch the foaming reaction as your child creates art with it. If you think your child can comprehend, explain the science behind. Baking soda and vinegar react with each other because of an acid-base reaction. One of the products this reaction creates is carbon dioxide.

Baking soda and vinegar

5. Ocean rescue

Make jelly using instant jelly mix. I don't have to chill to solidify if I'm using instant jelly mix. Add blue colouring to the liquid for an ocean effect. Submerge small toy animals in, before the jelly solidifies. Then get your child to rescue them with chopsticks!

Spot the ocean animals

Have fun with these home activities for your preschooler!

Farm Florist - Review

Fresh flowers are not quite my thing because its existence is not enduring. But, who minds receiving them, even if beauty is short-termed? Surely I don't. Flowers are undeniably one of the most beautiful variation of nature that captivates one's soul. Their appearances and colours are always pleasing to one's eyes. As a Mum, I like to often remind myself how kids are sometimes like flowers, blooming at their own pace. With no regard of competing with the flowers next to it. Life breathes easier with no hurry.

Surprise bloom box

Fresh blooms make a day. I was delighted to receive a surprise bloom box from FARM Florist, a local online florist. Uniquely different from the usual bouquets received, I love that this bloom box sits beautifully arranged and upright from its box.

Sending a Bouquet?
FARM florist allows you to make an order within 5 minutes and have your flowers delivered on the same day within 60 minutes. Only farm fresh flowers are used, and flowers that do not make the cut to leave their premises get thrown into the rubbish bin. With advanced and streamlined operational structure, Farm florist takes in up to 200 orders a day and promise that it all gets delivered on time. They would refund the full order so long as they are late for the delivery. It seems like one that not any local florists would ever commit.

Along with my bake

No idea what to send?
If your can't decide what to get for your loved one, FARM Florist has a special innovation called the Surprise Bouquet that starts from 34 SGD with free delivery. How it works is that you can just fill in the drop down boxes with some details such as the age and gender of the recipient, along with the type of occasion, and they will use their creative sense to curate the most applicable arrangement. Probably the best and most fun part about this local online florist. 

In tough times like we are in today, the power of smiles can be on our hands. Express your thoughts through beautiful blooms.
