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!

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. ⁣
⁣
Pour this into your dry mix and stir.⁣
⁣
Once combined, roll into golfball sized balls and place onto baking tray(s), spacing them about 6 cm apart.⁣
⁣
Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.  For an even bake, you can rotate the tray by 180 degrees halfway through baking.⁣
⁣
Cool on tray or transfer to wire racks. ⁣

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...”
