Mothers, you know the drill. Summer is the time of the year when after the pressures of school year, we get our kids to join skills enhancement workshops and what not.

When my children were younger I signed them up to be McDonald's Kiddie Crew for at least 2 summers in their childhood not too long ago.  See. I'm a stage mother like that.

The workshop runs for 5 days and they get to wear their own uniforms and mingle with the other kids.

Last weekend, bloggers were invited for to join the same workshop for one afternoon of fun and learning. This time, I brought my 5 year-old niece Esme and 7 year-old nephew Kiel.

The McDonald's Kiddie Crew workshop annual summer program is now on its 26th year. This was created for 6-12 year olds to experience all the fun things that make up McDonald's through play-based activities, allowing them to learn good values, build confidence and discover new talents, all in the company of new friends!

In 2008, Olive officially started producing cheese under the Malagos Farmhouse brand  (On Olive: M&S white linen ruffle sleeve top and black linen pants)

My cheese and I are one. I probably have no life outside of the cheese room, but I am having so much fun.  (On Olive: M&S stripe tie front linen blouse, white linen pants & canvas trainer)
