Kids furniture & storage solutions from Mocka

November 28 2013 By melbournemamma 3 Comments

I was recently asked to review some products from Mocka. I was pretty quick to oblige – given that I have a stack of their products pinned to various boards on Pinterest. The hard part was deciding what to choose.

 

I’m not sure where she gets it from 😉 but my daughter has quite a collection of handbags and hats. They’re usually stuffed in drawers or thrown in the cupboard, so I decided to get her a Kid’s Tree Hanger (RRP $49.95). It came as no surprise that she choose the pink one.

 

The first thing I noticed about the tree was how easy it was to assemble. Two large pieces slot together and are held in place with two screws.  I put the whole thing together and in her room before hubby even returned from putting the empty box in the recycling bin.

Then it came time to decide which bags and hats got to hang on the tree. “Only my favourite ones mummy” said my daughter.  These are the ones she chose.

I’d love to get one for myself but I think I’d need a bigger tree – a MUCH bigger tree!

 

Next up was something for my son’s room.

 

He is 3 and he is a crazy collector of  “things” (ie buttons, clips, tags from clothing, elastic bands, cars, stickers, etc, etc). You name it, he’s got it –  stashed in his room!  I’m expecting to see him pop up on one of those Hoarders shows in the VERY near future.

 

Anyway, most of these “treasures” are scattered around his room and they are doing my head in (and my bare feet).

 

The Mocka Post Box (RRP $89.95) seemed like to perfect solution for storing away the bits & pieces while functioning as a bedside table at the same time.

I decided on the colour and he decided what was going inside. I was surprised how much could actually fit inside once we began filling it up.

 

I told him something heavy for the bottom compartment, so he put some of his favourite books in there. The next compartment was a “secret” garage for some of his cars and the top compartment is for all the “special treasures” and they are now being guarded by Superman LOL.

The post box is made fom ABS hard plastic, so it is quite lightweight (even when full) and is easy for me to move when big sister comes in for a sleepover and I need to pull out the trundle.

 

Thankfully this has gotten lots of the stuff organised and he’s now having fun playing with the secret compartment (I think, he thinks we don’t know anything is in there when he closes the doors).

I love furniture that is practical AND functional and the Leni Bentwood Stool (RRP $29.95) is just that.

 

I’ve been using one as a coffee table and one as a bedside table. When the kids think I’m not looking, they like to use them as chairs or tables.

If you’re looking for funky furniture or decor for your kids, I’d definitely recommend Mocka. They also stock some great toys too.

 

Visit Mocka online at www.mocka.com.au. Make sure you subscribe to their mailing list to receive great offers, like FREE postage etc.

 

This is a not a sponsored post, however I did get to keep the Mocka products I reviewed. All opinions are 100% mine and my childrens.

    Thank you MelbourneMamma for the splendid review of the room decor items from the renowned kid’s furniture store. Honestly, the tree looks marvellous and the postbox too for your little boy’s room seems utilitarian. I was also looking for some kid’s furnishings and came across your blog on the Internet, and it has helped me a lot. Thank you so much!

Influenza A 🤒 I do NOT recommend it! 0/5 ⭐ Influenza A 🤒

I do NOT recommend it! 0/5 ⭐

So, I've been in bed since last Sunday and finally got confirmation from the Dr that I have the flu 😫

What a 🤬 nightmare of a week it has been. 

My son and I both woke up feeling like 💩 on Mother’s Day and it was all downhill from there.

Thankfully, he only had a sore throat and a cough (negative for COVID) and was well enough to return to school on Thursday.

I, on the other hand, have been barely able to get out of bed all week and have a continuous cough, chills, sore chest, shortness of breath, racing heartbeat, aches and pains - even my eyeballs hurt 👀🤷🏻‍♀️

I have not been this sick for a very long time. 

Still not sure how I've avoided getting COVID for two years but as soon as the flu is about - WHAM!!! I've got it 💥

Considering that I still wear a mask at the shops and hadn’t really gone out much in the week prior, I assume my son picked it up at school 🦠

As soon as I'm well enough l’ll be getting my flu 💉

Anyone else feel like this is going to be a looooooong Winter? 😷🤧😬

Best Anzac Biscuits ever!!! 😍 ⁣ I've tried a Best Anzac Biscuits ever!!! 😍
⁣
I've tried a few different recipes over the years and this one is by far our favourite.⁣
⁣
It's a super easy recipe and my daughter has been making them by herself for a few years now 👧🏻⁣
⁣
Let me know what you think once you've made them.⁣
⁣
Anzac Biscuits⁣
⁣
1 C rolled oats⁣
1 C raw sugar⁣
¾ C dessicated coconut⁣
1 C plain flour, sifted⁣
125 g butter, melted⁣
2 tbs Golden Syrup⁣
½ tsp bicarb soda⁣
3 tbs boiling water⁣
⁣
Method⁣
⁣
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees, no fan. (If your oven is fan forced, drop it down to 160 degrees)⁣
⁣
Line a baking tray with baking paper.⁣
⁣
Place the oats, coconut, flour and sugar in a bowl, stir with a wooden spoon to combine. ⁣
⁣
Melt the butter and golden syrup in a saucepan over low heat. ⁣
⁣
In a separate bowl,  combine the bicarb and boiling water, then add this to the butter/syrup mixture.  It should foam up and increase in size. ⁣
⁣

⁣
Once combined, roll into golfball sized balls and place onto baking tray(s), spacing them about 6 cm apart.⁣

What a fabulous tale! This one had me hooked fro What a fabulous tale! 

This one had me hooked from the start and I didn’t want Mercy and Wasabi’s adventure to end. 

I “may” have also wanted to rush out and buy a van and a puppy, and head off on a road trip across Australia 🚐🐶🗺

My Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“Meet Mercy Blain, whose house has just burnt down. Unfortunately for Mercy, this goes beyond the disaster it would be for most people: she hasn't been outside that house for two years now. 

Flung out into the world she's been studiously ignoring, Mercy goes to the only place she can. Her not-quite-ex-husband Eugene's house. But it turns out she can't stay there, either. 

And so begins Mercy's unwilling journey. After the chance purchase of a cult classic campervan (read tiny, old and smelly), with the company of her sausage dog, Wasabi, and a mysterious box of cremated remains, Mercy heads north from Adelaide to Darwin. 

On the road, through badly timed breakdowns, gregarious troupes of grey nomads, and run-ins with a rogue adversary, Mercy's carefully constructed walls start crumbling. But what was Mercy hiding from in her house? And why is Eugene desperate to have her back in the city? They say you can't run forever...”
