As I’ve mentioned before, we are finalists for the MAD Blogging Awards and the Brilliance in Blogging Awards in the Video category. Fellow bloggers will know it can be difficult to find time to commit to your blog and social media channels (especially if you run a weekly Linky too!), but we do try to add videos to our YouTube channel as often as we can, and always try to do fun things which involve all of us. I wanted to share with you some fun I had with my girls making a video about the revamped Mr Frosty toy.
It has been said that you shouldn’t work with children or animals, but one thing is for sure, I enjoy making videos for the blog with my cheeky little monkeys! After all, its a family and lifestyle blog so the more I can involve them the better :-).
With the recent warm weather, we decided to take the opportunity to make some frosty frozen treats when we were sent the new Mr Frosty toy to try out. The girls had a lot of fun, particularly Bella of course as she can be more involved.
Here is our video:
We all had a great time, especially when we got to try the treats at the end! LOL I really love involving them as much as I can with the blog. It’s a great way of having fun and ‘working’ at the same time! 😉
I hope that you like it!
Did you have a Mr Frosty when you when young? Will you like to relive this experience with your kids? Will you get one for your kids? Leave a comment below as I would love to read what you think.

Thanks for stopping by,
Love you all ❤️

This looks great. My children are too young for this right now but in the future activities like this I think are brilliant. It looks like your children had loads of fun!

I am old enough to remember the original Mr Frosty. I asked Father Christmas for one….And I never got one!!!! I was so disappointed,
I have to say that now we have a ‘cheats version’ ….Mr Frosty in the shape of our American Style fridge freezer that can give you crushed ice on demand…Not as much fun as doing it with the kids and I won’t get to exercise my biceps self-crushing it.
Thanks for sharing and hosting, Franca. #KCACOLS

Aaah, I had one of these when I was a kid and I SO want to get one for my two! Loved this – any toy that produces edible treats at the end is a winner in my book. And best of luck in the awards – if I can pluck up the courage to go on my own I’ll see you there! 🙂 #KCACOLS

I remember Mr Frosty! I didn’t have one, but I certainly recognise it and remember the desire for one, the dreams of what I could make with it, and how I would be the envy of all my friends…! Hope you and the girls enjoy your ice pops/ice poles (I have never been sure of the correct terminology). #KCACOLS
Jen @Practical, By Default says
No I never had one. I am not sure we had those when I was young here. Either way, It looks fun, I am glad you liked it 🙂 I agree including your children in the blog can be a lot of fun. I get the kids involved in taking photos and including their work in different photos. #KCACOLS.

I had a Mr Frosty when I was younger, I remember sharing it with my brothers and trying all the different favours, it was delicious and so much fun. Glad you all enjoyed it.

First time seeing one of these but it looks like something my daughter would love. She’s a big fan of freeze pops and has been wating all winter for them to come back to stores #CKACOLS

I used to see this in the Argos catalogue very Christmas but Santa never took the hint! Maybe when my daughters old enough we could give it a whirl!

We never had one but I can remember looking at them in the catalogues and really wanting one! Mr Frosty and Big Trak were the two things I wanted but never got!
Thanks for sharing and for hosting the link #KCACOLS
justsayingmum says
oh this looks like sop much fun – children just love doing things together with parents – I love the way you involve your children in the blogging/vlogging! Although mine are much older they always ask about my blog, always want to read it and always try to thunk of new ideas. I’m actually thinking of starting to vlog with them – a series of mummy and teen talk sessions – will let you know how it goes! #KCACOLS

No way Mr Frosty!! That’s a blast from the past! It was just going out of “fashion” by the time I was old enough for it (around 2000) but I still desperately wanted one haha! #KCACOLS
Savannah says
I’ve never heard of Mr. Frosty before, but it looks like so much fun! I so look forward to doing activities like this with my son as he grows(: I love how you involve your kiddos with the blog-it really is a fun way to integrate work and life! <3 Thanks so much for hosting #KCACOLS

Mum in Brum says
Aw I wanted one of these soooo badly when I was young. I think it was on my christmas list every year and I never got it! So I may just have to relive my youth through Taylor and buy her this – love that they are bringing it back. This is such a useful and informative video of the product – and lovely to see all the family get involved! xx #KCACOLS
Emma says
completely takes me back to being a kid! #KCACOLS
