Our Super Cool #SummerOfBratz

amomentwithfranca · 7 September 2016 · 31 Comments

During the summer Bella had the great opportunity to have to a friend stay with her and for some fun during the time she was on holiday. This new friend is called Cloe. She is part of a super cool gang called Bratz. Cloe’s gang consists of 5 girly girls that believe in thinking for themselves, getting creative with the things they dream of and believe that making every day an absolute adventure is the most important thing in life. Also, the Bratz love resolving problems creatively, living in the moment, thinking outside of the box, and they especially love to have fun! So Bella had a fantastic #SummerofBratz.

Our super cool #SummerofBratz FI

Bella was so looking forward to having Cloe at home to share all her summer adventures with her. Cloe’s personality is wide-eyed and bubbly and she loves her friends more than anything in the world. She also loves football, shopping, and as I said before she most of all loves to have fun.

Her nickname is Angel and her motto is live, love and laugh. Her hobbies are hanging around with her best friends, going to parties and social media as nowadays you have to get connected! Also she loves photography and writing in emojis. It all sounded pretty cool to us, especially for Bella as the minute she saw her they really bonded with each other. They have lots of things in common and they certainly share the same motto, LOL!

One other thing is that Cloe’s spirit animal is a pig with wings. How cute is that? 🙂 Cloe loves music and Bella loves music too so this was something else they had in common meaning they were all summer singing and listening to music! 😉

The Bratz Gang

Cloe arrived with the coolest outfit which was a small cropped top with a tutu skirt. Her boots were so big and fun and she also brought with her a couple of accessories like pink headphones with ears, a hair brush with a big lip shape and of course a mobile phone so she can keep connected with her other friends Jade, Yasmin and Sasha.

Bella spent her summer holidays with Cloe and went to lots of places (Bella has been bringing her with us most of the time). They made journeys to the park, they went together on the tube and they were together on the bus. She even came with us to meet Peter Andre. How cool is that? LOL! She sat in the first row that day because it happens to be that she is also a a big fan of him like us! 😉

The idea behind the #SummerofBratz campaign was to show how cool our kids summer holidays can be if they do it in the Bratz way which is always having fun. As part of this, Bella took her Bratz doll Cloe out and about with her on all her summer adventures. The best part of this campaign was taking lots of photos of Bella and Cloe and sharing them on social media using the #SummerofBratz hashtag to show the world all the places that she has been with Cloe.

We really love having Cloe at home. She is perfect to hang out with and take every where because she is not too big. She is great and bonded with Bella straight away. The Bratz collection is great and Bella loves having Cloe with us and definitely is her favourite. She is already asking for the whole gang so I can see that we will probably have them on her Christmas list! These dolls are aimed at kids aged 5+ so Cloe was perfect for Bella who is 6 years old.

After all the adventures over the summer we can now say that Bella is a Bratz, LOL! What about your kids, would they want to join the gang and also be Bratz? 😉

If you would like to know more about the Bratz you can do by visiting their website and also you can search for the hashtag #SummerOfBratz on Twitter or Instagram to see all the fun places that the Bratz have been with lots of kids this summer.

What do you think of the #SummerOfBratz campaign? Do you have any Bratz at home? If not do you think your kids would like to have one at home too? Leave a comment below as I would love to read what you think.

*Disclosure: We were sent this Cloe doll from the Bratz collection in exchange for a blog post and to take part in their #SummerOfBratz campaign. However all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Thanks for stopping by,

Love you all ❤️

    As a mum of two boys I have never come across Bratz! I love the idea of creating a diary for my boys’ favourite toys – Broom Cat comes everywhere with us (although I doubt anyone would be interested in what he gets up to!) #KCACOLS

    Aw, Bella looks so happy with her Bratz doll. To be honest, I’ve always thought they looked a bit strange, but they seem to be really popular, so they must be doing something right! #KCACOLS

    Looks like a really nice doll! I think my daughter and son would love it. I think the eyes are a bit…I don’t know. lol
    I feel like if I left it on a shelf in the bedroom and put a flash light under her she would fit right into a horror movie of some sort. :p haha

✨ 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

✨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
