Mr Frosty Fun With My Girls

amomentwithfranca · 14 May 2016 · 50 Comments

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.

Mr Frosty Fun With My Girls
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 ❤️

    I always wanted one of these as a child! This has brought back memories!! I remember someone saying that they can chop your fingers off (lol!!) so I was never allowed one (pretty sure that’s not true!) #KCACOLS

    I always wanted a Mr Frosty when I was small and when I got one I was made up. The reality of crushing ice compared to the advert took the shine off a little. Still remember the old ad! “And a squirt of flavour from Percy Penguin. Thank you, Percy!”.

    Loved watching yours and Bella’s review of Mr Frosty! I watched your vlog with Ella for the first time and she absolutely loved watching it with me too 🙂 Great review, I remember having a Mr Frosty when I was little too, it was the toy of the moment and everyone wanted one I remember. So lovely to see a toy like this come back, I wouldnt have known if I hadnt see your review either! Emily #KCACOLS

    Ohhh I am so jealous! I spent my whole li wanting a MR Frosty and I never got one! I have held it against my parents for the last thirty six years! Looks like fun, maybe I should get one for my kids and I can re-live my youth! I’m always scared it wouldn’t live up to my expectations now but this does look great! #KCACOLS

    Aw, Franca your daughter is so adorable and you can tell that she genuinely enjoyed this toy. Looked like it was a little difficult to crunch the ice but if the kids are happy, mama’s happy! Lol. I wonder if this is available in Canada?

    I had one of these very briefly as a kid. I remember saving up for it and within a few weeks of having it I’d broken the handle that you use to grind the ice. I was heartbroken! 🙁

    I’ve never seen a Mr Frosty before, maybe we didn’t have them in Denmark. Great video, your girls are such stars and I love your facial expressions at times 😀 #KCACOLS
