Review: Mocka Box Cart

October 14 2014 By melbournemamma Leave a Comment

The lovely folks at Mocka Australia recently sent me a Box Cart for the kids (and their daddy) to play with.

 

I remember my brother had a billy cart when we were kids and we loved it. (Hopefully my kids will not be reading this) I can remember us flying down the bridge at the end of our street at a million miles an hour with NO helmets!!! We had so much fun, so I was hoping my kids would love their new box cart too – wearing their helmets, of course! 

 

It arrived unassembled but only took hubby (and the kids) less than 10 minutes to construct.

Once it was ready to roll, Master 4 hopped on, ready for the first ride. Note:  The cart is recommended for children aged 5+, so my 4 yr old (115 cm) wasn’t quite able to reach the foot bar, so we placed a small cushion behind him. My 6 yr old daughter (135 cm) had no problems reaching the foot bar.

After a few rolls down our slightly inclined driveway, he was quickly able to work out how to steer and also use the hand brake.  

 

Then hubby took him for a ride on the street. My son was squealing so loud with excitement, that one of our neighbours came out to see what was going one LOL.  

 

After patiently waiting for her brother to have a turn, Miss 6 jumped in and took off down the driveway like she was a Formula One driver. She had already figured out how to steer and use the brake from watching her brother.

Next we decided to take the cart to a local park, so the kids could use it on the bike path.  

 

They had SO. MUCH. FUN.

  

 

Hubby also tied a spare dog lead to the rope at the front so we can pull the kids along (much easier on my dodgy back than pushing). This has come in handy when we’ve made a stop at the shops and I need somewhere to put the groceries on the way home. The kids have even been enjoying pulling the groceries home.

 

Now they want to know when we can tie the cart up to our dog (an 11 yr old cocker spaniel), so she can pull them around.

 

NOT.gonna.happen.kids. I think she would prefer to sit in the cart and you pull her.

 

I highly recommend you add this to your kid’s Christmas list! Just make sure you keep it out of hubby’s reach or he’ll be on it too!

This beautifully written and poignant novel weaves This beautifully written and poignant novel weaves together the stories of a Cypriot family across generations. 

Set against the backdrop of the Cyprus conflict, the book explores love, loss, and the enduring power of nature 🌳

My Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“Two teenagers, a Greek Cypriot and a Turkish Cypriot, meet at a taverna on the island they both call home. The taverna It is 1974 on the island of Cyprus. Two teenagers, from opposite sides of a divided land, meet at a tavern in the city they both call home. The tavern is the only place that Kostas, who is Greek and Christian, and Defne, who is Turkish and Muslim, can meet, in secret, hidden beneath the blackened beams from which hang garlands of garlic, chilli peppers and wild herbs. This is where one can find the best food in town, the best music, the best wine. But there is something else to the place: it makes one forget, even if for just a few hours, the world outside and its immoderate sorrows.

In the centre of the tavern, growing through a cavity in the roof, is a fig tree. This tree will witness their hushed, happy meetings, their silent, surreptitious departures; and the tree will be there when the war breaks out, when the capital is reduced to rubble, when the teenagers vanish and break apart.

Decades later in north London, sixteen-year-old Ada Kazantzakis has never visited the island where her parents were born. Desperate for answers, she seeks to untangle years of secrets, separation and silence. The only connection she has to the land of her ancestors is a Ficus Carica growing in the back garden of their home.”

Finally got around to reading this book and I LOVE Finally got around to reading this book and I LOVED IT 😍 

My Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

“In 1901, the word ‘Bondmaid’ was discovered missing from the Oxford English Dictionary. This is the story of the girl who stole it. 

Esme is born into a world of words. Motherless and irrepressibly curious, she spends her childhood in the ‘Scriptorium’, a garden shed in Oxford where her father and a team of dedicated lexicographers are collecting words for the very first Oxford English Dictionary. Esme’s place is beneath the sorting table, unseen and unheard. One day a slip of paper containing the word ‘bondmaid’ flutters to the floor. Esme rescues the slip and stashes it in an old wooden case that belongs to her friend, Lizzie, a young servant in the big house. Esme begins to collect other words from the Scriptorium that are misplaced, discarded or have been neglected by the dictionary men. They help her make sense of the world. 

Over time, Esme realises that some words are considered more important than others, and that words and meanings relating to women’s experiences often go unrecorded. While she dedicates her life to the Oxford English Dictionary, secretly, she begins to collect words for another dictionary: The Dictionary of Lost Words.”
