Making New Memories This Summer With Kinder Ice Cream

amomentwithfranca · 21 July 2019 · 31 Comments

Happy National Ice Cream Day! And with a click of the fingers, the summer is now upon us. It is crazy how the months have passed by so quickly and finally; our kids are off school ready to start the summer holidays. I love the summer because it is the time where we can be together longer as a family and enjoy each others company. When I think back and remember all our previous summer holidays, it brings so many smiles to my face. We have made so many amazing memories together already.

Last year we went to France for 10 days in Brittany and we had the best time ever there. Every time we talk about it, it makes us wish we could recreate those 10 days. The weather was fantastic, the food, the places we visited, it had all the ingredients for a perfect family holiday.

Carnac, France

For me, there is nothing more exciting than being by the sea. Walking on sandy beaches, smelling the fresh air, feeling the sea lapping against your ankles. That is what being by the seaside conjures up for me. This also reminds me of my home country in Peru as my family live very close to the sea. My parents had a beach house where we used to go for the whole summer. This is one of the memories that I have stuck in my head about growing up there.

Kapala: Beach where my parents had a house in Peru

Hanging around with my friends until late hours because there was no school the next day was always a highlight for us! Lol And then, when I was a teenager, it was getting ready to go to beach parties or going and spending the afternoon at my friend’s house. Or just simply being flat out in the sand basking in the sun and splashing in the sea. This was just so much fun.

Lovely memories of the girls having a fun time with daddy in France

I definitely want to repeat these experiences with my girls. We don’t own a beach house here but that doesn’t stop us exploring the UK or going abroad in search of beautiful places by the sea. I can’t wait to enjoy, together with Nick and the girls, those pretty sunrises as well as the stunning sunsets. These moments are definitely priceless.

Ferry crossing to France

We are back in France for the weekend in Le Mans and Loir enjoying the food, the scenery, the people and especially, being with my little family. We are not near the seaside this time, but we are near a gorgeous river and a lake. We love doing this type of trip by car crossing via Ferry.

I am super excited to start making new memories with my family this summer and experiencing more adventures during the rest of the summer. I can tell you now that there is definitely a beach holiday to Mallorca at the end of the summer which we are super excited about.  

Excited to be a Kinder Ice Cream Ambassador at their Launch Event in London

As Kinder Ice Cream Ambassador for the summer, we also support their nostalgia and summer memories vision, so we cannot wait to keep exploring new places, spend more time together making more fantastic memories, making ice cream puns and of course, eating all the Kinder Ice cream too!

Have you already tried the Kinder Ice Cream range? They have the ice cream sandwich and ice cream stick.

Girls eating Kinder Ice Cream Stick

They come in smaller sizes which are perfect for kids. This means you know they won’t be eating too much at once. All ice creams are under 100 calories too and come with the Wall’s ‘Responsibly Made for Kids’ logo. What else you can ask for?

And they’re not just for kids, they are yummy for the whole family too and a perfect healthy treat for the summer. They are available in the freezer aisles at retailers across the country.

Hope you have a fabulous summer making new memories with your family and of course don’t forget to eat all the ice cream!

What are your plans for the summer? What is your favourite Kinder Ice Cream? 

*Disclosure: This is a sponsored post. I’m working with Unilever and Mumsnet as an Ambassador of their new Kinder Ice Creams that were recently launched in the UK. 

Thanks for stopping by,

Love you all ❤️

    We’ve still not tried these Kinder ice-creams, I’ll have to keep an eye out for them in the shops because I know my 2 will love them! We’re lucky enough to live near the beach, so we’ll hopefully have lots of days there this summer x #KCACOLS

    Oh, I couldn’t read this without feeling guilty! My husband bought a box of Kinder ice cream cones last week, meant for our little girl. She ate one and I have managed to secretly finish the rest!! I’m not usually much of an ice cream fan but there was so much chocolate on them, I just couldn’t resist! I’m going to be in trouble when she finds out! #kcacols

    I didn’t realise Kinder did ice creams as well as chocolates. I hope there’s a joke on the stick for that truly nostalgic touch! #KCACOLS

✨ Cat Cafe In London✨.📍Bella and I went t ✨ Cat Cafe In London✨.📍Bella and I went to @javawhiskersuk , a cat cafe located in @westfieldlondon . This was my present for Mother’s Day from her🌸.🌟 Before we went inside, we had to go to a separate room to wash our hands and remove our shoes..🐾 They have 2 different rooms: the Cat Lounge and the Kitten Lounge and you can choose to stay from 55 mins to 1hr 55 mins. The prices vary depending on the room you choose and the length of time..🍰 When we stepped inside the room we were greeted by a group of gorgeous kittens. We ordered (before we went inside the room) a latte and a delicious chocolate muffin with chocolate melted inside that was so good. This was served to us in the room while we were surrounded by these adorable kittens..🐱 We spent 55 mins playing and petting the kittens. They were so cute. We loved interacting with them..🥰 Their cafe is also a foster home for homeless cats so if you are looking to adopt one, this is the place to visit! They have had 230 successful adoptions already! 🙌🏻.🚨 The only downside is that you have to be over 10 years old in order to be allowed inside the rooms 😬.🐈 If you are a cat lover like us, I highly recommend you visit Java Whiskers! It is the perfect place to unwind and relax with these beautiful kittens! 🙌🏻.Have you visited a Cat Cafe before? 🐈‍⬛ .#javawhiskers #catcafe #catcafelondon #londoncafe #westfieldlondon #londondayout #daysout #thingstodoinlondon #newplaces #londonguide #lovecats😻 #catsofinstagram #catloversday #londonthingstodo #whatsonlondon

We spent 55 mins arround gorgeous kittens. I had a great time! I am a cat lover so this was a fab present for me! I will talk more about this experience on another post but if you swipe left you can see a little peak of our time there! 🐈😉.Today, the girls and Nick took me for the actually Mother’s Day celebration 🎉 to @cafejackss in Queen’s Park where we had brunch. It was a yummy treat. Swipe left to check it out! 😋 .After that we went for a walk. There was a small market nearby so it was nice to have a little look around 😍. We then went back home and spent the rest of the day chilling which is something, I’m not going to lie, I love doing! 😉😂.How was your day?#mothersdayuk #mothersdayweekend #mothersday2023 #motherofdaughters #mumoftwo #mumofgirls #mydaughters #lovemydaughters #daughterslove #mummydaughtertime #daughtersarethebest #daughtersrock #spendingtimetogether #happyfamilytime #familytime💕
✨My Girls✨.Due to the strikes we had Sienna ✨My Girls✨.Due to the strikes we had Sienna at home yesterday and today, and Bella only today. I thought it would be very chaotic but despite it always being louder when the girls are at home, especially my youngest one, lol, we did well..Bella did school work at home today and had the afternoon free. Sienna didn’t do school work. We only asked her to carry on doing Spanish and Maths via Duolingo. She also had Spanish lessons this afternoon (every Thursday she has lessons) so both days were manageable thankfully 😍.How was it for you? Did your kids stay at home or did they go to school? .PS: let’s hope things get better for teachers. I fully support the strikes. .#sistertime #sisterlylove #sistersgoals #hermanas #sistersforever #sistersforlife #sisterslove #siblingslove #lovemydaughters #raisingdaughters #mydaughters #londonkids #WembleyPark #wembley #londondesigneroutlet
✨Happy Weekend✨.How is your weekend going so ✨Happy Weekend✨.How is your weekend going so far? I am finally feeling more normal after the massive jetlag I had after my trip to South America. I am not sure why it hit me so much this time but it has taken me about two solid weeks to properly be back to my routine without feeling right. Waking up in the mornings was the worst. It was very hard, especially when I had to be on time for the school run! 😩.Anyway, everything feels better now! 😊.How long does it take you to be back to normal after a jetlag? Do you have any tricks or tips to speed this process? .📸 Selfy taken in Barranco, a lively district in Peru considered to be one of the most romantic and bohemian places to visit and being the home and working place of many Peruvian artists, musicians, designers, photographers among others 😎.#thisisme #selfie #instaselfie #smilemore #brunettehair #greeneyes #over40#over40blogger #overforty #overfortystyle #over40andfabulous #over40mom #outandabout #barrancolima
✨The Costa Verde✨.Lima, the capital of Peru ✨The Costa Verde✨.Lima, the capital of Peru is located on the coast. Walking along the sidewalk of the Malécon in Lima’s picturesque seaside district, Miraflores, you can admire the most beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean. .The “Costa Verde” is a coastal road. It runs along the south-central part of the Lima coast. You can visit in the morning for a jog or in the evening to enjoy a relaxing walk. It is a very lively where people have fun in the open air..This is one of the best attractions on the coastal road. You will see several parks with sculptures of famous artists that make this walk even more unique and enjoyable. Along the route, you can find numerous recreational activities such as surfing and paragliding..If you keep walking you will arrive at “Larcomar” which is a shopping centre and has many restaurants and cafes so you can enjoy a coffee or a meal with the gorgeous ocean view too. .Pictures explained below:1. Start of my walk with the view of the ocean showing one the most gorgeous restaurants in Lima “La Rosa Nautica” where you can walk along the pier and then seat down for a meal with a sea view. Very scenic 😍2. 📸 Greater view of the coast showing the Pacific Ocean3. 🎥 Parque Chino (Chinese Park)4. 📸 Parque El Libro (The Book Park) showing a colorful sculpture, “Silencio” created by Peruvian artist José Tola.5. 📸 Parque del Amor (Love Park) showing its larger-than-life sculpture of two lovers in a deep embrace called “The Kiss”.

✨Peruvian Suspiro Limeño✨."Suspiro Limeño" ✨Peruvian Suspiro Limeño✨."Suspiro Limeño" is one of my favourite Peruvian desserts. When I was In Peru, I of course, made sure to have it not only once but several times 😉.This dessert is made of manjar blanco (milk, sugar, almond flour, egg yolks, vanilla) and meringue (egg whites, port, cinnamon) 😘.The history behind this dessert starts with Amparo Ayarza who was the creator. Her husband, José Gálvez Barrenechea was a poet and was the one who gave it its name. The poet called it "Suspiro de Limeña", which means, 'Sigh of a Lima lady', because it is soft and sweet like the sigh of a woman. Love this 🥰.Have you ever tried "Suspiro Limeño"? Or have you heard of it before? Would you try it? .📸 Picture taken @panchitasazoncriolla in Lima that has one of the best versions of this dessert 🙌🏻.#suspirolimeño #peruviandessert #meringue #merengue #desserttime #dessertlover #dessertpic #dessertgram #peruvianfood #cocinaperuana #gastronomiaperuana #perufood #peruviancousine #whatisfordessert #dessertsofinstagram
